Craft Ideas with Pizza Boxes - Briefcase | DIY on Box Yourself SMART PACKAGING SOLUTION
Choose a Box and Prepare it We have plenty of cardboard and corrugated boxes used almost daily around the house and thrown away after using. Used custom printed pizza boxes wholesale are exactly the type of boxes that are most suitable for making sturdy briefcase for your room and organization around the work space. Now, choose a medium sized sturdy pizza box and brush it off and clean it nicely, remove all crumbs. The best part of using the pizza box is that it already has the shape you need to make a briefcase and is sturdy enough to hold its shape with stuff inside it to a huge extent. The last part of preparing the box is to spray paint it in white or grey inside out. This will create a canvas for you to start your DIY project.
Select Fabric/Paints/Paper Although the briefcase you are making will need paints but for your later projects you can go ahead and make some bohemian or steam punk briefcases and cover them with fabric or paper too. So, we will go ahead with the current project and close the pizza box, and start painting the outside of the box neatly with black paint carefully. Be sure to paint the edges neatly or secure the borders with tape if you don’t have a firm hand and it shakes. Now take cardstock in white and gray, draw and cut out a briefcase handle leaving and inch for sticking and create a crease for that. Cut out white strips in card stock measuring the sides of the box. Draw and cut out side locks beside the handle of the briefcase. You don’t have to measure a lot of inches because everyone chooses a different sized pizza box so you have to work according to that.
Embellishments and Decorating Choosing further embellishments apart from the details we have created in the last step is up to you and the type of design you are choosing. We are going with the basic briefcase hence we will stick with the embellishments/details we have created ourselves. Take the handle and stick with the help of hot glue right in the front and place it in the middle of the box. Take the longer strip and start sticking it on the upper part of the sides of the box starting from the sides of the handle. Carefully stick it with hot glue step by step and don’t rush. Custom Pizza Boxes Wholesale makes great boxes that are most suitable for such paper crafts and craft projects. Once the sides are ready, take the lock cut outs and stick them besides the handle one inch apart from the handle.
Final Touch-ups Now the brief case is almost done. The inside is white and the outside is black with all the briefcase details. Now take two strips from another pizza box and spray paint them in either black or white and make a cut right in the middle to fix the strips on top of each other nicely. That should create a plus sign that looks like a draw separator as well. Put it inside the pizza box and trim it if it is slightly bigger than the box. If the size fits, put some hot blue in the base and stick the separator in the box. You can make one side bigger and one side smaller and customize the side according to your need and requirements. Close the briefcase and adjust it with glue if some side needs adjustments. Your DIY briefcase made with pizza box ready!
