And close them with the hemp rope. Paint dots with the black marker on the bottom of three of these boxes. Then, add a kraft tag and mark the date with the number and black ink stamps. The whole knot a Christmas figure of black felt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2<\/strong>. Now mount five more boxes and decorate them with small fir twigs. You can paint the tips of the twigs with a white marker, to give them a snowy touch. Combine black or hemp rope with pineapples or mini kraft colored tags with white painted toitos. This time, place the number at the bottom of the box. Do not forget to keep each gift inside before closing them!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3112 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"753\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-3.jpg 753w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-3-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Next, assemble two kraft boxes and paint dots with the black marker on the bottom. Then add a white felt Christmas figure and a rattle on the knot of the black rope. And seal them with your number!<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Use three more boxes of kraft color combining white label with the number stamped and more little black dots. Close the knot with a black felt Christmas figure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3113 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"753\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-4.jpg 753w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-4-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> Finally, use the individual chocolate boxes to make the composition of the crown more dynamic. With the black marker, paint black dots on five white boxes. Then, make a hole with the help of a punch to pass the hemp string and a mini kraft colored label with its respective stamped number.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> Now use the white marker to paint dots on five kraft boxes and print their number on one side of the box. To give it a more fun touch, pierce a tab of the box with the punch and pass a piece of hemp rope with a rattle. Again, do not forget the gifts before closing each box!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3114 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"753\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-5.jpg 753w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-5-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> So far you have to have prepared 23 boxes, but the last one is number 24! For the most important we have reserved the kraft star box and white sides. Decorate it with black polka dots and dial the number in the center.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.<\/strong> Finally, tie all the boxes with more black rope with golden touches, at the bottom of the frame or wooden ring. The little star box hang it in the central part of the crown. Give the final touch by fixing fir twigs on the bottom with rope!<\/p>\n<p><strong>List!
