Instructions
- First start by drawing a basic cube. We learned about this in a previous post.Draw two dots, side by side at about 4 inches apart. Draw two more dots halfway between the first dots about 1 ½-inches apart, but these two are up and down from one another.These dots are like the points of a diamond.
- Connect these dots with straight lines to make a diamond. The two opposite sides of the diamond should be parallel from each other.
- From the bottom three dots, draw equal lines of equal length straight down. Looks like a table, doesn’t it?
- Now, connect the bottom tips of those lines to make the bottom of the cube.That’s it. You have drawn a cube.
- Let’s start decorating the package with the ribbon on the top of the box. Draw a set of double lines that run between one of the sides of the diamond shaped top of the box. You can make the set of lines close together or a bit farther apart to make the ribbon look narrow or wide.Then make a double set of lines that cross the first and are parallel to the other sides of the diamond shaped top of the box.
- The sides of the package will have ribbons too, so draw a set of double lines straight down the side of the package starting where the ribbon from the top touches the edge. Do this on each side of the package that you can see.
- Finish up drawing the present with two sets of lines that make the two loops on the top of the package for the bow. Draw two sets of lines out from the bow for the ties on the end of the bow.
- Lastly, decorate the paper in any design you want. I copied the design on the paper that was on the gift shown in the video.This can be colored in with pencils or markers.

Tip: You can add more loops to the bow to make it a fuller bow if you want!
