At the wedding, it is customary for newlyweds to give gifts, which are most often cash. This is the most practical gift for both the bride and groom and guests.

Young people will be able to decide for themselves what to buy with the donated money. And guests do not need to rack their brains over what kind of gift for a formed married couple will be more necessary.

In addition, money takes up little space.

Therefore, an increasingly common trend is the purchase of special boxes for wedding gifts in the form of money, which are called a money treasury or a family bank.

However, it is not at all necessary to spend money on such an attribute; it is quite possible to make it yourself.

Such a treasury may look like a beautifully decorated rectangular box or chest with a hemispherical lid.

Family bank in the form of a box

To make a box for money, in which donated funds will be stored at the wedding, an ordinary shoe box can be used. This container has everything you need - a base and a lid that can be removed and get gifts.

The only thing left for you is to make a special slot, which will easily include an envelope and a postcard. It is also necessary to give a beautiful appearance to your homemade product.

If you did not find a free box, then you can find on the Internet a pattern of a volumetric rectangle without a lid. Then you will have to make in it not only a slot for money, but also a hole for extracting it at the bottom. To create such a product, you can use any thick cardboard.

Money box decoration

If you don't know what color is better to use for a family bank, then take a look at the photo of a white wedding money box.

With a classic look, it looks elegant and somewhat reminiscent of a snow-white bridesmaid dress. If there is no white in the outfit of the young, then black or shades of brown, reminiscent of the structure of a tree, may come up.

You can decorate the box in a variety of ways. Since it is cardboard, self-adhesive decorative film will adhere well to it.

You can make more effort and paste over the box with a cloth. Just first check if the fabric is too thin, and if the outer side of the structure will be visible.

In this case, you will have to additionally wrap it with whatman paper or other thick paper.

In addition to giving the box the main background, take care of the details to decorate it. As such, lace, satin ribbons, beads, rhinestones can be used.

You can buy in the store or make your own flowers from various materials. Fashionable eco style allows the use of living plants or other natural materials.

The main thing is that your box fits the overall style of the event.

Treasury for money in the form of a chest

Money chests made from a box look much more beautiful and elegant at a wedding. For such designs, it is better to use not boxes with lids (although they can be turned into works of art if desired), but whole packages.

Then you do not have to separately glue the lid, and your family bank will look very neat when finished.

The design of the chest is different in that it has a smooth rounded lid and a rounded top at the side faces.

One easy way to draw round top pieces is to use a round object. In this case, a regular plate with a diameter equal to the width of the end is suitable.

How to make a chest with your own hands?

To make a box for money for a wedding in the form of a chest with your own hands, you need to correctly measure all the details of the workpiece. After cutting off all the excess, you still need to smoothly bend the lid of the future chest.

To prevent sharp corners from forming on it, on the back side, you can make shallow horizontal cuts along the width of the box with a clerical knife.

The chest is decorated with the same means as a rectangular box. The only difference can be considered an additional finish of the rounded ends.

To make the finished product pleasing to the eye for the side walls, it is better to cut out duplicate parts from cardboard. In this case, the main structure and flat additional parts are glued separately. And only then the finished part is glued to the side of the chest.

The photo of the completed wedding money boxes looks very beautiful on the border around the edge, which, in addition to the decorative function, can hide all the nuances.

Don't forget to trim the edge of the envelope opening as well. To do this, you can use an additional thin satin ribbon, which will be tucked inside the box.

If you are a professional craftsman, then you can give them to your loved ones or relatives for the holidays. Now I will show how to make a box for storing money and I will demonstrate a detailed diagram. We have already created, but this one will be more universal. The master class is long and you will spend a lot of work, a lot of material, as well as time. This craft is for people who have at least an average level of skills. Be sure to do everything step by step as I will tell and do not miss anything. In the future, when you learn, you can add something from yourself.

In this box you can store small things, money, jewelry, photos and so on. I advise you to buy only high-quality material, since the gift should look very rich.
All the materials that we will need will be presented during the manufacture of crafts. Most importantly, you need cardboard, paper, scissors and glue. The thickness of the cardboard is 1.73 mm.

How to make a money storage box:

Here is a diagram to start, such details need to be cut out of cardboard. First, let's do the markup.

Then we cut out these parts from cardboard.

First you need to glue all the existing parts of the cardboard. We apply glue on the edge and assemble the boxes.

First, glue the elongated walls. Glue I took PVA.

Short walls should clearly enter, if they do not fit, then we undermine them a little. And apply glue on three sides.

Now we need to cut out such details from plain paper or craft paper. With the help of them, we will glue each edge and it will be denser.

Using a brush, smear the glue on the strips.

Now we glue the joints from the inside of the frame that we made.

Now you can trim the joints of the cardboard a little, take a large female nail file and wield it.

Now we smear the outer side with glue to glue the boxes with a leather substitute.

To do this, prepare a strip of substitute leather measuring 610x75 millimeters. It is necessary to glue one that would leave a small but equal distance on the right and left.

When we pass the corner, the fabric needs to be slightly stretched.

This is how we end, there must be an extra piece left.

We cut off the extra piece so that both joints lie beautifully at the top, and at the bottom it doesn’t matter at all.

Now let's work on the corners, they need to be cut. To do this, turn the boxes over.

Lubricate the protrusions with glue and bend.

We bend each separately.

Now the bent parts need to be pressed a little so that the gluing is better.

Here we have such a bottom, it is ready.

Turn the box over and cut off the corners at the top. You need to cut off just a little bit.

We bend the protrusions again one at a time, having previously lubricated them with PVA glue.

The joints of the corners should also lie close to each other.

The joint in the middle also fits neatly.

And again cut out of cardboard such details as shown below.

Now we cut off a piece of leatherette which has dimensions of 375x200 millimeters. Gently spread glue over the entire surface with a brush and put cardboard there. Definitely in the order in which they were cut.

Now we cut the unnecessary corners like this, so that when they are bent, they also lie joint to joint.

Then apply a thin layer of glue to the edges of the leather substitute.

And we bend the edges, gluing them to the cardboard.

Be sure to go around the entire perimeter and seal the bonding.

These are the gaps that must be there.

Again, I repeat, pay more attention to the corner joints.

They must be careful.

The lid for the box is ready, let it rest and dry.

Now you need to embed the magnets in the box. On the inside, we cut out a place for them, just remove a small layer of cardboard.

We do this on both sides, the magnets will not be visible from the front side.

Drop some superglue for the magnets.

We insert the magnets and wait a couple of minutes until the glue dries.

Now we put the opposite magnets on the outside, this is easy to do.
This is done in order to measure where the opposite magnets will be located from the side of the cover.

Draw magnets with a marker.

We put the lid on the box and finally close it, the marker will be printed on the lid and you will see where these magnets need to be attached.

Don't forget to set the polarity of the magnets correctly, you need them to pull together, not repel. On the lid, we also remove one layer of cardboard and glue the magnets there.

Here are the details that are used for gluing the walls.

But this scheme in order to save paper correctly. From a sheet of 30x30 centimeters, you can cut out all the details economically.

Now we take each to make paper for the insides.

We try on, and then glue it.

Lubricate each piece carefully with glue.

If you store photos in a box, you can stick a tape on the side, with its help this can be done without any problems.

But on the lid it is necessary to glue, from the same, a small loop. It will be easier for you to open the box for storing personal items.

Next, glue the beautiful bottom into the boxes.

The lid can be printed for decoration.

Now we put beautiful paper on the lid with which we paste over the insides. Marks joints, as well as corners.

Here is the paper.

Then we apply glue and connect the two parts, paper and cover.

Here's what we should get.

In the end, we pour glue on the bottom of the box and on the lid and connect these two parts. Be sure to leave a small indent.

Then we apply glue to the back side wall and glue these parts just as well.

Here is a box for storing money and other personal items. At the top, you can make a decoration in the form of rhinestones or beautiful stones.

This is what the box looks like when opened.

Be sure to try creating this craft or others, for example, or.

When you ask yourself the question “What will we give for ... (add the default holiday)?”, then usually the simplest and, judging by today's realities, the most relevant gift was and remains money. Why not? After all, even they can be presented beautifully and in an original way. In this article, we will suggest some very simple, but entertaining ideas for decorating them.

A fairly simple, but cute and cute solution that can be used for a gift for the New Year, Christmas or a wedding is an ordinary wicker basket with chocolates and nuts, among which the main gift will lie. For this idea, you will need: a basket (you can take it from under perfumes or cosmetics sets), small chocolates of the original shape - medals, hearts, squares, nuts, silver paint or rich nail polish, sparkles. From preparation, you need to paint the nuts and sprinkle them with sparkles, let dry. Fold the banknotes in half and mix all the blanks in the basket. Such a money tree can be made in two ways: embroider the tree itself or make it out of paper. Which one is easier to do - decide for yourself. If you decide to make it out of paper, then you will need: a white sheet, colored cardboard, pencils, thick woolen thread or ribbon, money. Initially, prepare a layout of colored paper - a trunk and leaves. Then think about how many bills you will have and where to place them. Now pierce two neat holes and let the thread through the paper so that it is enough to tie the bills. Stick the blank on a white sheet, tie bills wound into a tube. If you decide that it is easier to embroider, then stretch the thread until the fabric is stretched. This option is suitable for those who like to give money in a postcard, but did not have time to purchase it. You will need: a postcard, some three-dimensional figures cut from other postcards. Making such an interesting option is as easy as shelling pears: stick drawings inside the postcard, circling them with a thin layer of glue along the outer contour. A similar option that is ideal for those who make a gift with a child. To do this, you will need: a postcard, colored cardboard, glue, decorations can be made from what is at hand. Help the child draw a butterfly with a rather thick body, decorate the wings with rhinestones, beads, sparkles. Let him cut it out, and you fold it so that the wings are raised. Then cut a hole for the money with a knife, lift the middle, and stick the rest of the body on the postcard. You can additionally decorate with flowers. A little more difficult, but more interesting option with a bottle. To implement it, you will need: special paint of two colors, shells, glue, decorations. To make the bottle not with a smooth surface, take superglue with a dense composition and randomly apply it to the front. Now glue the decorations and paint everything with dark paint. Take a washcloth and dip it lightly in light paint, and then walk over the bulges of the entire pattern. Roll the money into a tube like a scroll, tie it with a thread and put it in a bottle. If you want to give a cake and money, then you can combine these two gifts! Buy two cakes of different sizes and one empty box from the store. Paste the boxes with bright or plain paper, decorate as desired with flowers, pearls, beads, rhinestones. In the box in which there will be money, glue a part of the corrugated napkin to the bottom, put the bill in and decorate as desired. It is not difficult to make such a surprise box. Cut out four identical pieces of paper, fold them in half, glue the halves to make the bottom. Decorate the walls inside the box and write holiday wishes. Make a cover. Inside, build a pyramid of bills with a ribbon or elastic band. If it didn’t work out to make the lid square, it’s okay. Just cut out a circle, decorate it, and secure the walls with ribbon and tie a bow. Another version of the surprise box for those who know how and love to work with paper. If you can't make a box yourself, replace it with a ready-made candy box by simply hiding the money between the contents.

In fact, there are just a huge number of options on how to give money in an original way. We hope that among ours you will find the one that will be the best for you!

Nowadays, money is one of the most common gifts and, it would seem, there is nothing easier than. But sometimes you really want to bring something unusual to such an ordinary gift. And to do this is not at all difficult, it is enough to have only the desire and the simplest materials. So, we suggest you make a box for money with your own hands, following our master class.

Box for money scrapbooking - master class

Necessary tools and materials:

• 2 types of scrap paper (backgrounds for it can be found on the Internet and printed or bought ready-made);
• white and colored cardboard;
• watercolor paper;
• pencils and watercolors;
• brush, simple pencil, clerical knife, metal ruler, scissors;
• inscription or picture (you can also print them yourself);
• glue (better "moment-crystal");
• double-sided tape (you can limit yourself to glue);
• jewelry (beads, half-beads, buttons, pendants, whatever you see fit);
• ribbon.

Performance:

1. To begin with, using a ruler and a clerical knife, you need to cut cardboard and paper. The dimensions of paper and cardboard, as well as the principle of distribution of colored and white cardboard, are shown in detail in the photo.


2. Next, we take the largest square (18x18 cm) and line. The next step is to make a scoring (outline the places of the folds) - in addition to a special stick, many objects are suitable for this (not a writing pen, a plastic card, and even the handle of a simple teaspoon). I used an ice cream stick. The principle of linting and creasing is shown in the photo.


3. The next step is to make cuts and cut off the excess.


4. And finally, we glue the necessary parts with glue and fold our main box.



So, all the most difficult is left behind, but it's too early to stop, because only half the way has been passed.

5. It's time to make the second part of our box, and for this we will line and score on the largest rectangle of cardboard. This must be done as shown in the photo.


6. This is the box we should have. Now it's time to start decorating.


7. We stick narrow strips of paper (1x9 cm) on strips of cardboard (1.5x9.5). The next step is to glue these double borders onto the box (2 each on the inside and outside), and sew on a bead that will serve as a handle.


8. Now take 2 cardboard squares 11x11 and two paper squares 13x13.


9. We coat the cardboard square with glue, glue it to the wrong side of the paper and cut off the corners.


10. We fold the excess paper and glue it to the cardboard. We do the same with the second pair and get two neat squares.


11. We glue our dense squares to the outside of the box so that an equal amount of cardboard protrudes along the edges.



It's time to decorate our creation:

12. We crease a cardboard rectangle 10x20 cm and fold it in half - this will be a postcard for wishes.


13. Now you need to glue the ribbon and the top layer of paper - a 9x9 square.


14. We paint over the inscription with a thin layer of watercolor paint, draw around the edge with a pencil and glue it to a cardboard rectangle, 0.5 cm larger than the inscription itself.


15. Flowers for decoration are great and you don’t have to buy them - you can do it yourself. Draw on the wrong side of the watercolor paper a few large flowers and a few smaller flowers, and then cut them out.


16. We wet our flowers with a damp brush. Immediately after that, add the color to your taste (the saturation depends on your desire), and after that - we give the shape to the petals - we twist them around the pencil or (as in my case) the shaft of the brush.

17. Let's add clarity and volume to our flowers - lightly circle the petals and draw veins, and then glue them in pairs and stick a rhinestone or half-bead in the middle.


18. And here is the finale: we fix all the decorative elements on the postcard, and glue the postcard itself to the box.

Our box may well become a package not only for money, but also for other small gifts, and later not get lost, becoming a place to store useful and pleasant little things.
