How to Make a Decorative EVA Box – Easy DIY Craft by EM ART

Introduction:

Creating beautiful and functional items at home is not only a pleasant activity but also a wonderful way to express your creativity. In this “do-it-yourself” guide, we’ll show you how to easily craft a decorative box from EVA foam – perfect for gifts, jewelry storage, or simply for decoration.

This project is perfect for anyone who loves handmade crafts, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced creator.

Materials Needed:

• EVA foam
• Hot glue gun
• Hot glue sticks
• Pearl beads
• Cardboard
• Pencil
• Scissors

Step 1: Preparing the Base and Lid

1. Trace two identical circles on cardboard and cut them out.
2. Glue EVA foam on both sides of each circle. These will be the lid and the base of the box.
3. Cut a strip and wrap it around the edge of the lid to form a rim. Glue it with hot glue.

Step 2: Making the Walls of the Box

1. Cut equal-sized strips proportional to the size of the box.
2. Roll each strip tightly and glue the end to secure it.
3. Make enough small cylinders, alternating between glittery and smooth surfaces.
4. Glue them upright onto the base, ensuring the glued end is on the inside.

Step 3: Finishing and Decoration

1. Cut another strip and wrap it around the bottom to hide the cardboard and give a finished look.
2. For the lid decoration, cut 8 strips of EVA foam.
3. Fold and glue the ends of each strip to form "petals". Arrange them in a circle on the lid to form a flower.
4. Finish with three pearl beads in the center of the flower.

Tips and Ideas:

• You can use different EVA colors to create a unique design.
• Instead of pearls, add a button, a small flower, or a gem.
• It’s a great idea to write a small message and use it as a gift box for handmade items.

Conclusion:

Making a decorative EVA foam box is a wonderful way to develop your skills and create something beautiful with personal meaning.
