Making gifts with your own hands

Ahead of the holidays. Gifts are already selected and bought - it's time to pack them, because any, even the most common souvenir, can be made beautiful, elegantly decorating it. I offer several ideas on how to decorate gifts with my own hands.

1. Color paper. You can use all your imagination to come up with something original. For example, decorate bright boxes with mosaic figures, cut out multi-colored toothed strips with special scissors and tie a box. The main thing is to make it bright and fun.

2. Making gifts with paper braids. This option involves the application of little effort on your part, diligence and patience. You will need two sheets of glossy colored paper, which you need to cut into strips 2 cm wide. Weave them in a staggered manner and glue along the edge. From the received "rug" it is possible to generate a box which in addition to decorate a bow and colors (too paper).

3. Wrap of fabric. Such an original decoration of gifts will suit more women, for example, moms and grandmothers. It is important not just wrap, but beautifully drape.

4. Flower packing. Buy a solid color purple or pink gift bag and any artificial flowers. Souvenir shops usually sell pansies, roses, chamomiles and other flowers from corrugated paper. Fold the bag and place it flat on a hard surface, such as a table. Glue the flowers on the outside of the bag and let it dry. Turn it over and add the flowers to the other side. Choose their contrast (to the package) colors.

5. Gift bag with inner pockets. You can also fulfill the gift design by adding pockets to the inside of the package. The number of pockets depends on your preferences. They can hide a surprise or a gift. For example, you can put some trinkets in the package, and tickets to a concert in your pocket, etc.

6. Multilevel box. This method is well known, but it is no less popular. It requires a minimum of effort and time. Take a few boxes of different sizes (the more, the better), put a present in the smallest of them, fold them one into one, tie with tape and decorate with a bow.

7. Sea decorations: pebbles, seashells and other items that can be found on the beach. Stick them on the box, forming a beautiful drawing. Use a narrow ribbon and muted neutral colors to highlight natural objects.

8. Making New Year's gifts requires a special approach. Unusual packaging will help create a festive mood. Sequins, tinsel, colored paper, cones, bells, needles, fir-trees and snowflakes are the perfect basis for creating a surprise. Add a little imagination and a desire to surprise loved ones, and, believe me, the festival will be a success.

The decoration of gifts must be done with the soul. Moreover, the process of registration for you can be the beginning of fun, which will be remembered for a long time for everyone.

And after all, it would seem, what difference does it make what to give ?! But such a pleasant little thing will be an expression of your attitude towards the one to whom the gift is intended.
