What to give to the grandmother for 75 years? This is an important question because an elderly woman cannot surprise a regular gift. By this age, the house has everything from dishes, household appliances and other decorative trifles. Grandmother has little interest in sophisticated telephones, a computer, and other scientific progress.
By this age, most older ladies do not use makeup, are not interested in fashion, and other "female things" cease to touch them. Our grandmothers are primarily concerned about the health and attention of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren!
Traditional greetings to 75 years old grandmother
What do children and grandchildren usually give to their grandmother on her anniversary? Crockery, soft toys, bathrobes, towels, curtains, bedding, paintings, household appliances ... And what do grandmothers do after their birthday? Usually, some things are stored in chests, some are distributed to children and grandchildren. How can ordinary gifts be made original? Consider the example of a photo album.
A photo album is a necessary thing, but this gift can be turned into a time machine! How?! Now we will tell.
- 1-2 months before the event, collect all the interesting photos of your grandmother. This can be a photo of travel, family or important events.
- Make a photo album in Photoshop or collect from sheets and photos yourself. For each photo, select aphorisms or poems. Grandmother at the 75th anniversary will be pleased to recall the bright events of her life.
- It is even better to attach an electronic version to the photo album, in which these same photos are laid out as a music video.
Another option is to make a collage of photos . But many grandmothers are sensitive to memory and do not like when they cut their faces.
Children's gifts
What to give to the grandmother for 75 years, if the grandchildren are 5-7 years old? Of course, do it yourself! It can be postcards, drawing, applique, crafts, toys. But over time, such gifts are lost. To make the gift always in sight, we offer you to give a piece of yourself!
To do this, you will need:
- cardboard;
- whatman;
- colored black paper;
- pink crepe, velvet or corrugated paper;
- scissors;
- glue;
- pencil;
- frame with glass.
On the cardboard circle the hands of all grandchildren and granddaughters. Transfer this template in mirror image to black paper. Glue your hands on whatman paper in any order. These will be peculiar trees.
Next, make pink flowers from pink paper. If you use colored or velvet paper, then bend the petals with scissors, then they will be convex. Crepe and corrugated flowers are more voluminous and realistic.
Glue the trees with these flowers. Decorate the background of the picture. Sign each hand, or better yet, attach a photo of the child. You can use the services of a baguette workshop, where they will select a mat and make a professional frame with glass, or make a frame yourself.
What to give to the grandmother?
75 years is not an easy anniversary. This is the line when a person is valued every day, hour, moment! Grandmothers remember the details of the past and forget the events of yesterday. Then you can stop time with an unusual gift! To get started, find a good quality photo of a grandmother in her youth and youth. Make a scheme out of it, but rather use the services of a professional. Better order a monochrome or with a minimum of colors scheme.
Now it remains to transform the scheme into a three-dimensional picture.
- You can embroider a cross on the canvas. To do this, you need to buy a canvas in size, floss and needles with a blunt eye. You need to embroider according to the pattern with a cross (x) or a half-cross (/).
- Instead of a cross, you can take beads and embroider on the canvas. The main thing here is to buy a canvas for the size of beads.
- If you know how to make crafts from matches, you can recreate a portrait of a grandmother.
- Apply quilling technique. Wind tight rolls (circles) of the desired color and lay out the portrait of the grandmother with glue on the whatman paper.
This gift will not leave anyone indifferent!
Knitting gifts
What is the most important thing for grandmother? This is the love of grandchildren and granddaughters! And if one of them makes a gift with his own hands, then this will be a reason for pride! Not every grandmother can boast that her granddaughter, a schoolgirl, knitted or sewed a whole plaid. So how to knit a plaid:
- to impose motifs from multi-colored threads;
- combine them into a single canvas;
- tie the edges of the plaid with crochets and arches.
It remains only to give a blanket and cake for 75 years to a grandmother, who will always boast in front of her friends and neighbors with the laborious gift of her granddaughter.
What motive to choose for a plaid? Find square patterns. They leave less space when connected. You can knit, crochet, on frames or sew from rags. We give an example of a crochet motif. To make the gift bright, knit each row in a different color or make the squares multi-colored, but then, when combining the motifs, evenly distribute them by color.
Before work, tie a motive sample, measure and carry out calculations: how many motives need to be connected, based on the size of the plaid.
Pattern of motives for a plaid.
The simplest motive is the following (each new row starts with air loops, and ends with a connecting column). Asterisks indicate the pattern to be repeated to the end of the row.
- 1st p.: 8 air loops (VP), which you close in a ring.
- 2nd p.: 1VP, 15 single crochet (RLS) (two columns in each air loop).
- 3rd r.: 7VP, * 1 single crochet (1), 4VP * (total 8 single crochet).
- 4th p.: 1 connecting column, * 1, 11, 2 columns with 2 double crochets (2), 11, 2 * (also 8 and double crochets are obtained).
- 5th p.: 4 lifting loops and * 4, 1, 4, 1, 4, 12 * (it turns out that 2 determine the angles of a square motive).
- 6th R.
The scheme of a small pattern:
- 1st p.: 7VP.
- 2nd p.: * 31, 2 * (total double crochet columns 4 times).
- 3rd p.: The pattern is built only on the air loops of the previous row: * 31, 3, 31 *.
