Giving gifts is so nice and great. And so I want your present to be liked more than all the others. I want to remember the moment when the gift falls into the hands of the culprit or the hero of the occasion. To do this, it is not enough to give a chic, memorable present, you need to take care of its original appearance in the package.
Making gifts with your own hands is an interesting creative process that can bring pleasure not only to those for whom it is intended, but also to those who are directly involved in this. When packing a gift in any unusual way, the donor puts a little of his soul both in the present itself and in its packaging.
Turn on the fantasy
There are many ways to pack. Perhaps, after reading some tips, you suddenly come up with something new. In the meantime, consider a few ideas for the original design of the gift.
- An ordinary gift plain box will look spectacular if you wrap it with plain parchment paper, placing a beautiful large sheet of wood under the parchment, it can be a maple or oak leaf, or a trio of them. Not at hand a suitable size and beauty of the leaf? Then cut it out of gift paper of a different color. A translucent decorative element will decorate the packaging.
- Another interesting idea of gift design is a gift in a "warm" package. If you have a decent look and color, a knitted blouse, cut a rectangle in size occupying one third of the packing box. Sew the ends of the resulting scarf and decorate with a pompom on top. This type of packaging is good for gifts in the autumn and in the winter.
Golden twigs
Consider another design option:
- A branch with leaves and a cylinder of gold paint will come in handy for the next gift decoration. Hang the twig, spray it well with paint, dry it and you can fix the presentation onto the packaging.
- You can use plain paper or a box in which a gift will be presented, tied not only with a ribbon, but also, say, with lace. This design of gifts is more suitable for friends, sisters, mothers and daughters.
- If a book is presented as a gift, you can wrap it in craft paper, cut out butterflies from another unnecessary book, and use a hot gun to fix them on paper. If you feel sorry for spoiling any book, such butterflies can be cut from printed sheets with text.
For beloved men
Making a gift for the man we love, whether it's father, son, brother or husband, also requires a little imagination.
- Travel lovers will surely appreciate the gift wrapped in a world map or a "antique" map. Buy a plain satin instead of a roll of wrapping paper and get started.
- Another interesting package should be added to the topic of maps. Wrap the gift in paper with a starry sky or star chart printed on it.
- If the gift is small, print newspaper text on A4 sheets and wrap a surprise for your man with these sheets. For better picturesqueness, you can also choose the text written or in a foreign language. Many advise wrapping a gift in a real newspaper, but honestly admit to yourself that a gift packaged in a newspaper is not a very good idea. But the texts printed on the printer are much more noble.
Butterfly and flower for men
How else can I get a gift?
- Who said butterfly decoration isn’t an option for decorating a men's gift? Nonsense! A bow-bow cut out of good quality colored paper will complement the present presented very well.
- If you know how and love to knit, you can decorate a gift for your man with your own hand-knitted flower or several flowers. Think of a good and suitable combination of colors for these decorative elements.
Words for Birthday
Another way to get a gift. On paper, you need to print a puzzle of letters and circle or paint over with a marker those words that you would like to say to a man. Attach a decorating element of the color that you will highlight the words. It will turn out very unusual and aesthetically pleasing.
And this is a gift with the use of humor. For a young man who loves jokes, this option will be very good. The pylon of this charming dancer can be installed directly in the cake, or can be on a large box with the main gift. Small bottles of brandy will be a pleasant addition.
Egg Surprise
What egg are you thinking about now? If this is a fabulous and well-known egg from the tale of Koschey, you have the wrong direction of thought. By the way, at the same time, throw away all other ideas with an egg. It will only be true that the gift wrap will be a capsule from the famous Kinder Surprise.
Such a gift decoration is only suitable if it is small. Try placing your present in the capsule of the pre-opened Kinder Surprise. It can be cufflinks, a chain, some ring. It is not forbidden to hide in “Kinder Surprise” a certain amount in cash. Heat two halves of a chocolate egg over a candle and, putting a present in them, glue the filled capsule. Wrap it so that everything becomes as before. Packaging is ready to give!
Gifts for the little ones
Making a gift for the birth of a child should be interesting and gentle.
- You can make such a box for the necessary things for a newborn out of a box of any size. Wrap the box with wrapping paper. Put in the box baby bathing products: baby creams and powders, vests and diapers, socks and booties and much more. Do not forget about the most important thing - about toys and different rattles. How much and what to put will depend on your imagination and finances.
- In another variation of the design of the gift, you can buy a basket instead of a box. After filling the basket, pack it in a transparent film. Pulling the packaging at the top with a ribbon, you can attach a small silver spoon to the gift bow. Although the packaging itself in the basket is very interesting and most importantly - a useful thing.
- The diaper bath replaced the already standard diaper cakes. By the way, instead of a frame for diapers, you can use a real small bath, or you can limit yourself to another substrate. Around the design is made into diapers, and inside under a layer of synthetic winterizer or cotton wool (or find a more suitable option for you resembling foam) place all the elements of the gift. Leave a pair of bathing toys and foam in the bottle on top.
- From diapers, instead of a cake, you can make such a gorgeous basket. Bottles, rattle toys, bibs, socks folded in an unusual way and booties - this is a worthy filling in such an original package.
- By the way, if you do not know at all how to fill out a children's gift for a newborn, here are a few ideas. A gift for babies can include teething rings, bike and simple diapers, a mobile for a crib, a children's nightstand, a baby monitor, baby oilcloth, all kinds of booties, pajamas, hats and tiny shirts, toys.
