It is customary to give money for a wedding, and to collect money in envelopes or without, because somewhere you need to. For this, they usually use a box, a box, a basket, a chest, a chest - as you like. In this article, we will show you how to make such a money box quite simply and quickly, and you will need quite simple things.

In this photo tutorial, we will consider perhaps the simplest option for making a box for money for a wedding - the design of a shoe box. The beauty is that shoe boxes have the required size, dense material, even shape, structure like a chest (a box with a lid). In fact, a shoe box is a cardboard blank for a chest for money for a wedding, which you simply need to "dress in a wedding dress" (paste over, stylize, in a word - decorate).

To make a wedding money box you will need (1):

  • Box from under shoes right size(any other cardboard box of the desired configuration);
  • Packing material - paper(but as an alternative it can be fabric, film, other packaging material);
  • Scissors(for cutting packaging material and cutting decorative elements);
  • Glue(suitable for gluing the materials used, in the photo tutorial we will use PVA glue and silicone glue with a gun);
  • Pencil- for marking cuts of packaging material;
  • decorative ribbon And bow(For wedding decoration box covers)
  • pearl thread And semi-pearl.

Step 1. Paste the box with paper (2)

In our example, we use wine-colored designer paper (Marsala), paper weight 130 g/m2, sheet size 50*70 cm, matte surface. We have chosen a box that is suitable in size for the sheet, so that the paper is glued to the box with one single sheet. We put our shoe box on a sheet, try on the sides and mark the cuts. Having made cuts, we make folds along the box and gently smoothing glue the paper to the box with PVA glue.


The lid is pasted over last, and the excess paper is cut off with scissors after the entire surface and folds of the lid are pasted over with paper. Thus, after pasting the box with paper, we get a cardboard box with a wine-colored lid - a blank for decorating a chest for money for a wedding.

A comment: thin paper should not be used - it will deform under the action of glue (soak), which will lead to an uneven relief of the surface of the box. It will be impossible to hide such shortcomings.

Step 2 Style the Box (3)

Just a color box is just a box of a specific color. To make it a wedding, it must be decorated accordingly. Lace ribbon is perfect for this. To give the width of the design, we will glue the lace ribbon to the lid of the box in 2 rows, and close the seam between the ribbons with a thin ivory satin ribbon (milky delicate color).


We find the middle of the box lid, draw a line with a pencil. We cut off the tape with sufficient length to stick it on the fold of the box lid. Glue the lace tape along its edges. It is better to glue the tape with the flat side to the line, and the curly side out. Then we glue a thin satin ribbon over the outlined line.

As a result, we got a cardboard wine box with a lace decor on the lid. It remains only to give it a solemn look.

Step 3. Fasten the bow and decorate with pearls

Bow. In a store that sells satin and lace ribbons, you can buy a ready-made bow. You can also make a bow yourself. It is not difficult. We take a thin satin ribbon, tie it into a bow and cut the edges diagonally. The edges should be melted - for example, with an open fire or sealed with glue so that the thread does not fray. Also, the bow can additionally be decorated in the center, for example, with a heart or a brooch.

Glue the bow exactly in the middle of the lid of our chest (4).


It turns out quite a beautiful box for money, but we have not finished decorating it yet. To give it a finished look, we will additionally decorate it with pearls (5). We will use semi-pearls (a hemisphere, glued to a flat base, as a result it visually seems that the box is inlaid with pearls), which we will decorate the lace ribbon, which will create an imitation wedding dress bride.


At the very end, we tie a pearl thread to the bow and leave two hanging ends so that everyone can see it. Our wedding money box is ready!


The cost of such a money box is quite small, decor elements can be bought at any department store in the needlework department, and you can find the rest at home. In time, it took about 2-3 hours to finish and decorate.

And so a person can collect the required amount and buy something really necessary that one person cannot give. But do not forget a rather important thing that any present should be given with a twist and taste.

The first thing we start with is cutting out all the blanks from watercolor paper. In the diagram, the blanks are indicated under the name cardboard. We cut out all of them one by one, except for two squares 13 * 13 cm.



We take the longest workpiece and divide it according to the scheme into parts. We draw bending lines under the ruler.



Now we divide the blank 10.5 * 21 cm in half, add it up and we get the upper blank, it will be decorated on top and this will be our postcard.



We divide the largest square according to the scheme, cut off the extra corners, which are mined in the scheme.



We fold the workpiece, this will be our drawer in the future. We glue a long workpiece from one edge.



This will be the outer part of our next box. Cut out these shapes from scrap paper.



We glue one square in the box to the bottom on double-sided tape, glue two squares on simple watercolor squares. We tint for greater solidity all watercolor blanks along the edges.



We tint the picture. We make a lace strip, under which we will put money. We cut out two inscriptions, one is glued to the strip, the second under the picture.



We sew everything glued on a typewriter. We glue our box in the corners.



We glue the square with the picture on the card blank and sew it on the outside, then sew it on the inside onto a 13 * 13 cm square. Cut out two strips of satin ribbon, glue it on large squares above and below on adhesive tape.



We move the drawer.



We glue the sides of the box, in front we insert a flower on the brads. This will be the handle that will pull the drawer out.

But it is also easy to make such, at first glance, complex products as a chest for money in the form of a cake in several tiers, at home or an interesting box. But whichever option you choose, the following materials are required for mastery:

  • cardboard box or a sheet of thick cardboard. The quantity and shape depend on the chosen chest model. You can purchase a plastic or glass box. If you have the skills to work with wood, you can make a product from it. Such a chest for money will last for many years and will become a family heirloom.

If you want the casket to serve not only during the celebration, but also to be kept as a keepsake, use only high-quality materials.

Having prepared everything you need, you can proceed to the next step - creating a chest.

Making a casket

You can make a chest for money from a shoe box:

  • The front of the chest may be slightly lower than the back.
  • It is necessary to choose a box of such a size that the length is equal to the sum of the height of the front wall and the width of the box.
  • The lid can be made curly.
  • After that, the box must be pasted over with paper or cloth.
  • Decorate the chest with various accessories.

If you want to make a pattern yourself from a sheet of cardboard,

it is worth finding a suitable scheme in advance. For example, the photo shows a diagram of a rectangular casket.

A detailed instruction on how to make a chest with your own hands consists of several stages:

1. Cut out the template from cardboard. Carefully bend down the places of folds and allowances. We seal all the allowances to the inside of the chest with glue or ordinary tape.

2. Cut out a strip of cardboard. Glue the cut strip at the junction of the inside of the box. This will help to securely fasten the walls of the casket together.

3. In order for the box to look like a casket, the lid must be given a convex shape. Thick cardboard does not take on such a configuration well. Then, longitudinal grooves can be drawn on the inside of the lid with scissors or a clerical knife. This must be done carefully so as not to cut the cardboard through and through. Otherwise, you will have to start all over again. After that, the lid will easily take a rounded shape.

We connect the lid to the bottom of the box with adhesive tape. It is better to glue it to the inside, then the joints will not be visible.

4. The resulting gaps in the lid of the chest for money are closed with cardboard cut out in the shape of the holes. They also attach with tape. For reliability, you can use a furniture stapler.

5.Next, it is worth taking a cutout with an opening for envelopes. To do this, a rectangle about 1 cm wide and as long as an envelope is drawn on the inside of the lid. Using a utility knife, cut out a hole.

6. You can start draping the box. To do this, separately measure the base and cover. In accordance with the parameters, we measure a piece of fabric or decorative paper of the desired size.
First, the lid is sheathed, then the rest of the chest.
