The paper tube has a height of 9.5 centimeters and I use a paper of 12 centimeters high x 10 centimeters wide.
First add around the paper tube white glue and immediately to cover it, place the wrapping paper, then with the scissors cut the remaining paper from the surroundings.Then we will take the piece that we cut of 3 centimeters and with the help of the scissors we will make a straight cut applying glue for one of the faces and cover it with the gift paper, do not forget to cut the excess of paper the surroundings. This piece is very important, it will allow us to perfectly close our gift box. Do not forget to apply a little glue inside the coated tube, 2 centimeters from the edge so that when placing the piece is well secured.

- Use the cardboard of a shoe box. Remove 2 pieces of cardboard and over the cardboard, to make the top, place the cylindrical paper tube and with a pencil or trace marker around and then, with the help of the scissors, cut until you get the 2 pieces.
- Then apply glue for one of the faces of the pieces, cover with the wrapping paper and cut the excess paper from the surroundings.
- Then, stick the end of our coated tube, the cardboard lined circle so that this gift box is taking shape.
Step 4
Take the 4 cm lined piece and place the glue around the top and immediately place the lined cardboard circle. To give it a different touch, take a piece of ribbon to make a small tie, with the help of the hot silicone gun, add some glue in the center of the cap and stick the tie and a flower, this little detail will indicate The person where the chest should be removed.
