Hi all!
Today I will finally fulfill my promise and tell you how I made this chocolate maker:

However, the object of our attention will be the interior design. I have already said and I want to repeat it again: the idea of ​​such a design does not belong to me, but to a talented person unknown to me, who posted a photo of his creation on the Internet. Here I will show and tell you how I made a chocolate bowl with such pockets.

For work we will need cardboard, scrap paper, glue, cutting and creasing tools. I do not mention decorations here, because the decor of the outer part of the chocolate bowl will not be included in the master class. But what else will not hurt you when working with its “insides” is a real chocolate bar and tea bags :) I will tell you here all the parameters of my pockets, but keep in mind that they are tested only on a certain type of chocolate and tea :)
So, let's start preparing the parts for our chocolate maker.
For its base, cut out a 17x22 cm rectangle from cardboard and crease it in the middle (at a distance of 10 and 12 cm from the edge).

The second detail is the future pocket for chocolate. It starts with a 10x12 cm cardboard rectangle. We make folds on the rectangle, as shown in the photo. The distance between adjacent lines is 1 cm. We crease the long side on both sides, and the short side on one side.

And one more type of parts for which we need creasing. These are future pockets for tea bags. We take rectangles measuring 8.8x14 cm. We bend along the long sides on both edges at a distance of 1 cm from the edge. We also make a fold line across, dividing the 14 cm side into 6 and 8 cm.

The creasing tool can be put aside. Now we have to make several cuts. Let's transform the chocolate pocket like this (I think you can easily do this by comparing two photos)

We cut the remaining punched squares on one side and turn them into “ears”:

Then we simply bend our part along all the fold lines -

... and it will fold itself into a pocket like this. We glue the “ears” to the “bottom” of the pocket, and we also glue the transverse strip along the edges.
What you see in the photo below is the back view of the pocket. We will then glue it to the base using these folded edges.

Now let's take care of the tea pockets. From our blanks we cut out this part (we cut off the edges of the shorter half)

We bend it and we get this nice pocket. I rounded the corners of the valves with a special hole punch.

Glue the front side to the valves. We repeat the whole procedure with two other pockets :)

That, in fact, is all the difficulty:) all that remains is to glue the pockets to the base (previously covered with scrap paper). Don't forget to try on the chocolate and bags :)

There is less than a week left until the New Year and preparations for the fabulous holiday are in full swing. Let's imagine ourselves as wizards for a minute and create a beautiful New Year's gift wrapping for chocolate.

We will make a box for the “Babaevsky 75%” chocolate bar, the size of the chocolate bar is 16.3 x 9 cm.

First, let's prepare the materials:

• 1 sheet of A4 watercolor paper for the base (I have a Palazzo “White Rose” watercolor tablet)
• scrapbooking paper 2 sheets 30x30 cm
• New Year's decor (berries, artificial snow, chipboard, stamens, a piece of knitted lace)
• sheet for cutting or ready-made cutting
• powder, ink and hair dryer for embossing (can be replaced with acrylic paint mixed with glitter, I told you how to mix)
• glue for paper and decorations
• scissors or cutter
• ruler
• pencil
• eraser
• scoring board (replacement for scoring stick and mat or crochet hook and mat)

Let's start creating the base and for this we will need a template. I created a template specifically for your convenience; I indicated all the sizes in it. The dotted line indicates the fold line. The template is available in PDF format. You can download and print it, or when creating the base, check the template on the monitor screen.

We take a sheet of A4 format, lay it horizontally and draw 4 stripes, retreating from each edge, first 0.5 cm, and then 1.2 cm, and also draw on the other side: 0.5 cm and 1.2 cm.

Place the sheet horizontally again and draw lines vertically: 8 cm; 1.2 cm; 8 cm; 1.2 cm; 7 cm - these will be our fold lines.

We cut off the excess

We crease using a creasing board and a special stick. You can use a crochet hook and a mouse pad.

Trying it on with chocolate

Take scrapbooking paper and cut out rectangles. The paper for the inside and outside should be different, but the shades should match each other. It is advisable to use paper from the same collection.

outer part: 17.2x7.6 cm - 2 pcs; 17.2x6.7 cm - 1 piece

inner part: 17.2x7.6 cm - 2 pcs; 17.2x6.7cm - 1 piece

sides: 0.9x17.2 - 4 pcs (2 pcs of different designs), must be glued to the inside and outside; 0.9x6.7cm - 2 pcs (1 pc of different design)

Glue the paper to the workpiece

Glue the box together and try on the chocolate bar

We select the decor, take pictures of everything with a cell phone or camera, see if everything fits and start gluing the decor.

First we decorate the chipboard. I coated it with clear glitter embossing powder. For this I needed special powder, ink and a hair dryer for embossing. Unfortunately, the powder turned out to be not very shiny, so I had to cover the chipboard with powder three times. If it is not possible to work using the embossing technique, then you can cover it with ink, acrylic paint of a suitable color, mix acrylic paint with glitter or spread glue and sprinkle with the same glitter, or you can leave it in a craft color.

Let's start creating volumetric decor. We cut off part of the lace and glue it to the box, then glue the chipboard.

We cut out pictures from the New Year's sheet or take ready-made die-cuts and glue beer or bookbinding cardboard to the back for volume.

Now we put everything together into a common composition

We decorate the top of the box with artificial snow. First we apply glue. I use Tacky Glue, you can use thick PVA or any suitable glue.

Then we decorate the inside of the box. I decorated with lettering and snowflakes from chipboard, die-cutting and die-cutting. The chipboard was covered with powder, first with white powder, then with transparent powder with glitter. I cut out the bunny from a sheet of die-cut paper and glued beer cardboard to the back for volume. I applied Tacky Glue to the die-cut, chipboard and under the bunny and sprinkled it with artificial snow.

The chocolate maker is ready!

Happy New Year, everyone! Creative success and good mood!

It's always nice to give gifts to family and friends. You always want to please and surprise them at any celebration. This could be an anniversary, birthday, wedding or anniversary, birth of a baby, christening and others. We often think twice before choosing the right gift, so that it matches and is really needed by this person.

Giving some trinket is very banal and unreasonable, but making an original gift with your own hands is quite sincere and romantic. For example, a postcard in the shape of a box will look very good; such a postcard is also called a chocolate box. We discussed it in one of the previous articles.

This card is not only a greeting card, but you can also put in it your favorite chocolate that the person you want to congratulate loves. The chocolate maker can also be given as an ordinary gift, just to thank someone. The original packaging will remain a long-lasting memory, and the chocolate will decorate your tea party and give you a sweet sensation.

Required materials:

In order to make a chocolate postcard using the scrap technique, we will need the following materials.

• A sheet of cardboard of the desired color;
• Several sheets of scrap paper;
• Figured hole punch;
• Paper napkin;
• Template diagram for making a workpiece;
• Ribbons, half beads, flowers, cutting with stamped text;
• Double-sided tape, pencil, ruler, PVA glue, rubber band.

Master class on creating a chocolate bowl using scrapbooking technique

So let's get started! We make a cardboard template for a postcard: to do this, measure the required dimensions and get a template with a pocket, as shown in the photo below.

All the necessary materials that we need can be seen in the photograph.

We fold our template, bend all the invisible lines, and get something like this on the outside.

And, accordingly, inside.

Using this template, applying it to a clean thick sheet of whatman paper or cardboard, we measure the dimensions and cut out the very base of our chocolate bowl. We make bending lines using a ruler and a special stick, more details can be seen in the photo.

Then we cut two pieces of about 9-10 cm of satin ribbon and glue these pieces approximately in the center on the top and bottom base with double-sided tape. We see more details in the photo.

We cut out the top blanks from scrap paper for the top, back inner parts of the chocolate bowl, as well as for the pocket. We make the edges curly using a hole punch. After we have completely glued our main workpiece with PVA glue, we glue all the pieces of scrap paper onto double-sided tape, as shown in the picture below.

We fix the inside corners of the pocket with double-sided tape, as shown below.

Now we use a glue gun to glue the entire decor to our liking. First, glue a paper napkin with tape or PVA glue approximately in the center to the front of the chocolate bowl, then a die-cut with a congratulatory text, and finally glue half beads and paper flowers. For beauty, you can sew a metal pendant onto one edge of the ribbon. The product is ready, put a chocolate bar in it, tie a beautiful bow and the gift is ready!

Each of us wants to surprise our loved ones with original gifts during the holidays. A great idea for all occasions - to give postcard handmade and put into it chocolate! Inside you can write wishes or make additional pockets for money, (in my case, tea bags) and decorate the outside beautifully and festively. Postcard chocolate girl– a universal gift, suitable for a variety of occasions, from birthdays to weddings, and for any recipients, from loved ones to strangers (special occasion - teacher's day or teacher's day). How to make it yourself, read in my master-class in scrapbooking technique.

So we will need:

1. white and colored cardboard with a density of 180 g. ,

2. sheets of double-sided paper for scrapbooking,

3. satin ribbon 5 mm wide. and 20 cm long.

4. figured “leaf” hole punch and edge hole punch,

5. universal glue, double-sided tape,

6. hot-melt gun with transparent glue,

7. knife, ruler, pencil,

First of all, we need to cut out the base of the future box. To chocolate was securely fastened inside, it is best to use this template.

We cut out a blank from white cardboard according to this pattern and crease all the fold lines using a knitting needle or an awl. The edge can be decorated with an edge hole punch. Next, to decorate the front part, we cut out rectangles from scrapbooking paper according to the size of the sides of our future box.

note: It is important to glue the satin ribbons in place under the decorative paper in advance!

The next step master-class will be the decor of the inside of the lid postcards. We cut out rectangles from plain paper according to the size of the sides and glue the inside. Next we need to make 3 pockets for tea. To do this, take plain cardboard and cut out these blanks.

We decorate the inside with scrap paper and glue it to our postcard.

This is what it looks like in the end.

And now the most delicious and most difficult thing remains - decorating the front side postcards. I used ready-made flowers, stamens, lace, sisal, and “Sweets and Joys” stamping. Using a shaped composter, I cut out the leaves.

Master class is over. Original chocolate maker postcard is ready! Making it yourself is quite simple; most of the time was spent thinking about the decorative details. With these chocolate girls my son congratulated his teachers on March 8th!

Thanks everyone for your attention!
