This teapot will be a wonderful gift for your mother or grandmother. Every housewife has beautiful plates and a salad bowl in her arsenal, in which she serves delicious holiday dishes to the table when guests arrive. An ordinary tea party with visiting friends is a completely different matter. It does not provide for the use of plates with appetizers and meat dishes, so it will not be possible to surprise guests with beautiful dishes.

What do you usually serve tea bags in? In a box or on a platter? This master class will tell you original idea unusual and beautiful presentation of tea bags.

First, take a sheet of cardboard and cover one side with brightly colored wrapping paper. To securely connect these materials, use a glue stick.

The result is a sheet of thick cardboard with a print in the form of roses.

Now prepare your stencils. Images can be found on the Internet and printed on a printer. If you know how to draw well, then draw the silhouettes of a teapot (teapot) and a small cup yourself.

Trace each stencil 2 times, placing them on the colorless side of the cardboard.

Cut out the blanks and cover them with wrapping paper on the other side.

You get these 4 parts that are needed for subsequent work.

Cut 2 strips from the remaining cardboard. One should be 5.5 cm x 15 cm in size, and the second should be 2.5 cm x 9 cm.

Cover each blank with wrapping paper with a picture of roses, and then fold it twice.

Now you need to assemble all the parts into a single structure. First glue the stripes using a glue gun. Apply glue to one of the parts of the teapot and fix the curved strip, as shown in the photo. Glue a narrow strip to the cup.

Another gift for grandma in the same red and white colors is an elegant potholder, which can also serve as a napkin for hot dishes, decorate the kitchen, and make it more comfortable. The potholder is knitted in two colors with single crochets using elongated loops. Leftover yarn can be used for knitting.

The increase in the following rows will always occur above the last of the doubled columns, which will divide the circle into 8 sectors. We finished the row with a connecting loop.

We double one column in each sector. Otherwise we knit similarly to the previous row. Each sector should have 14 single crochets. When knitting the connecting loop of the fourteenth row, change the color of the yarn. We cut the white thread and fasten it. We won't need it anymore.

15 row. In each sector after the double stitch we knit 2 sc, the next stitch we knit with an elongated loop into the stitch of the thirteenth row, the next – into the stitch of the twelfth row, the next – into the stitch of the thirteenth row.

On each of the eight sides of the polygon there are two groups of loops different lengths. Between them we knit two sc, after the second group of loops we knit 3 sc. We finish the row with a connecting loop.

16th row. We continue to knit 15 sc each with red thread, doubling the sixteenth stitch. We knit this way in each sector.

DIY crafts for a friend

If you want to give your girlfriend some jewelry or a scarf with flowers, but you think it’s not very interesting, then take it and make it yourself! Such a gift will be individual and will definitely not leave your friend indifferent. And you can put a piece of your soul into it, and at the same time show your imagination and love for your friend. In this master class prepared by Anna Moiseeva, we will crochet an easy necklace!

In order to knit such a necklace we will need:

  • blue, light blue, white thread;
  • hook 1.75 mm;
  • scissors;
  • needle;
  • chain.

To knit such a product, it is better to take thin yarn. The thinner the better. Our necklace will consist of 7 circles. 1 of them will be the largest and will be located in the center. The remaining 6 are 2 sets of 3. The sets will be the same.

Let's start knitting from the central one, that is, from the largest circle. We knit 12 sc in a slip stitch with blue yarn. We close the circle with a joint and tighten the ring.

We knit 1 row with blue yarn, adding every 2 stitches in the row. Closing the row, change the thread to white. We perform a row, adding every 3 loops of the row.

And we just have to knit the last row. In it we make additions every 5 loops of the row. The central circle is ready.

The next circle will consist of only 4 rows. First, we form a slip loop with blue yarn and work 12 sc into it. We will consider this to be the first row.

Then we change the thread again, but now to white. Add through 2 loops. Once again we change the thread to blue and knit a row, making increases every 3 loops of the row.

We knit 1 more exactly the same circle. We just have to connect the last 2 circles. These are the smallest parts of the necklace.

Again we knit 12 sc in a slip stitch with blue thread. Then we change it to blue. We perform a row with an increase through the loop.

We knit the same circle again. Now we just have to assemble the necklace. To do this, you first need to lay it out to understand how to sew the parts together.

Then we sew 2 smaller circles to the central large circle. Sew on different sides.

And then we sew others onto these parts. And at the end we sew on the smallest circles.

The last step will be the chain. We attach it to the loops of the circles. The crochet necklace is ready!

Craft - surprise “Candy message” for March 8

When there is no desire to give close friend a banal gift, the kind that others can give, your head is wracked with thoughts and wild fantasies, but nothing wise comes to mind, you can follow simple advice. The most best solution in your situation - prepare a gift with your own hands! For example, you can give a gift “Candy Message”. It requires little investment and half an hour of free time.

In order to make this gift, you need to purchase a vase for candies and the candies themselves, which, naturally, must be tasty and beautiful in appearance. You can also use a decorative box, a satin bag, a basket for small items, and more as a candy dish (instead of a vase).

Also, to make a gift you will need several short satin ribbons of any width (or thread) for winding scrolls and paper “scrolls” for wishes. Chains and beads, as well as various decorative elements, can be used as decoration and addition.

You need to write wishes on the paper prepared for the scrolls, wrap the paper and tie it with a ribbon or thread. The number and size of the scrolls should depend on the size of the vase and the number of candies. The color of the ribbons should be in harmony with the color of the candies and vase or be neutral.

Candies must be placed in a candy bowl, and scrolls with wishes should be beautifully placed between and on top of the candies. The gift is ready - stylish and fast!

Champagne with sweets

A traditional and at the same time banal gift for colleagues and teachers on March 8th is wine, champagne and sweets. In order not to change its essence, but to surprise with its design, you can create a unique bouquet of sweets or decorate the bottle in this way.

This one gift will contain champagne and goodies at the same time. It doesn’t matter what kind of candy you choose for this, chocolate or caramel, if you know the taste preferences of the woman to whom you will give such a bouquet - great! Well, if not, then it’s okay, take the most common ones and believe me, such a bouquet will definitely not leave anyone indifferent.

To work you will need colored corrugated paper, cardboard, a plastic yogurt jar, scissors, tape, ribbons for decoration, thread, champagne and 7 sweets.

Making a bottle skirt. Cut the corrugated paper to the width of the circumference of the bottle, two heights of the skirt. In this case, one edge should be 2 cm shorter.

Fold it in half and stretch the paper wide along the fold line. Using a short edge, glue the skirt to the neck of the bottle with tape.

We wrap the long edge with thread to match the paper.

Using a lid of a suitable size, draw a circle on the cardboard - this will be the base of the cap. We use a yoghurt jar to make the top of the hat.

We wrap the blanks in paper and glue them together.

We cut out rectangles measuring 5 cm by 8 cm from corrugated paper, rounding the upper edges with them. Using your fingers, we stretch the petals wide along the upper contour, creating a gentle wave.

We begin to wrap the petals on the candies. One flower will need 5-7 petals.

We combine the blanks into a product. Tie a ribbon to the hat and glue a candy flower. Additional decoration if desired.

Glue flowers to the skirt in any order.

Petals made from green corrugated paper will look beautiful with flowers. Decorate the neck of the bottle with a lace veil. The original gift set is ready.

A classic gift set for a woman can look like a real work of art. Such a gift will not leave any woman indifferent.

DIY postcards for March 8

As for the postcard, which does not require too much effort to make, you must use cardboard for its base, and the design can be done as appliqué, decoupage, scrapbooking or origami. It doesn’t matter what style such a card will be in, the main thing is that it should evoke tender feelings, be spring-like, bright, preferably with some flowers and contain kind words congratulations. Usually there are no difficulties with materials for such a gift.

A fluttering and weightless butterfly landed on a card intended to congratulate loved ones on their birthday. wonderful holiday– International Women's Day. This gift is quite possible for a child to make if he is already a schoolboy. Mom will be happy to receive this elegant product, and the child’s efforts will be appreciated. Since the card was made for congratulations on March 8, you can get a little creative and make the central figure not quite ordinary.

Let the butterfly’s wings remain chic and spreading, bright and eye-catching. But let the body itself be made in the form of the number 8. This is the main highlight of the proposed present. Not everyone will dare to play with a simple insect figurine like this, but the result will be truly beautiful.

To create the same bright and unusual postcard prepare:

  • thick cardboard base;
  • plasticine for creating a background, design, inscription and additional decoration;
  • a toothpick that will allow you to draw on plasticine and also attach small balls.

Making a greeting card with your own hands

Take everything you need for work. A big plus is the brightness of the plasticine; the brighter and more attractive the color of the material itself, the more expressive the postcard will be. Selecting shades of plasticine is already half the success.

To begin, very carefully apply juicy green plasticine to the surface of the cardboard. Try to make the layer very thin, smooth the pieces into different sides. It doesn’t matter that the light surface of the cardboard will show through. This way we will create an unusual, slightly aged effect. In general, the craft will look harmonious.

Make a thin purple sausage. It should be long enough to form a number 8. Glue the ends together to make a ring, then cross over to create the desired piece. Make wings from bright orange plasticine. Knead the pieces of plasticine in your hands, then press them on both sides with your fingers, while simultaneously giving the wings a suitable carved shape.

Start assembling a beautiful insect. Of course, we only use the silhouette to decorate our wonderful card. Stick a figure eight in the center. Adhere to it on both sides of a pair of wings. Now we see a butterfly in front of us.

Roll out oblong white droplets from white plasticine. Make pairs of droplets of different sizes. These parts are intended to decorate the wings. Stick a few on each side.

Also, use a toothpick to glue red balls along the edge of the wings. Above the image of the insect, write “Happy Holidays!” In this case, there is no need to indicate March 8, because the number eight already appears on the postcard, so it is immediately clear what holiday the craft is dedicated to. Stick patterns on the corners to make appearance finished.

A beautiful gift does not have to be expensive. The main thing is to do it from pure heart and don’t spare your imagination. Pack the gift beautifully, tie a bow, and now present it with in beautiful words to your loved one.

Greeting card with roses made of plasticine

On postcards dedicated to the International women's day, it is customary to depict flowers. This is the most desired and most beautiful gift for the fairer sex. And even if you don’t know what to give, flowers will always help out, it’s a win-win option.

But in this lesson, prepared by Elena Nikolaeva, we will not talk about how to choose a beautiful gift, but how to make it with your own hands. We offer an unusual three-dimensional option - a postcard decorated with a bouquet of plasticine. The central buds are roses, the additional branches are blue cornflowers. The card looks gentle and rich at the same time.

Materials for the postcard:

  • thick cardboard;
  • multi-colored plasticine: red, yellow, green, blue and white;
  • thin toothpick.

How to make a beautiful greeting card with your own hands

There is a canvas in front of you. It doesn't matter what color it is. Pay more attention to its density and size. Choose the size for your craft, as well as the background color that will perfectly match the buds in the bouquet.

Fill the background completely with bright plasticine. Since you need to independently apply bright plasticine in a thin layer to the surface, the color of the cardboard is not initially important.

A beautiful bouquet can be made rich and beautifully complemented with simple wildflowers, such as cornflowers. Florists often do this. For small graceful branches, prepare thin green threads and green leaves, small blue beads.

First glue thin green twigs with leaves under one side of the card.

Then press down each leaf with a thin needle to make the surface more realistic and textured.

Collect small cornflower flowers. To do this, combine 4 blue balls together, press with your fingertips to get petals. Insert a white ball into the center. Attach the resulting flowers to ready-made branches.

Make 10-20 blue wildflowers. Stick in different places. Press the white bead in the center on top with a toothpick, and also press down each blue petal.

Now move on to the rose leaves. They should be much larger. Make green flat droplets. Draw veins on top with a thin tool.

Assemble several combinations of thin green threads and the resulting carved drop-shaped leaves.

Glue green leaves randomly over the field branches.

For beautiful roses prepare red plasticine. Cut small pieces from the block.

Press and smooth each piece so that you get a flat, oblong petal.

Start twisting the petals into spirals to form beautiful red buds.

Form 3 buds. This will be enough to fill the picture.

Attach all the rose heads to the bouquet. Now you have a wonderful flower arrangement.

To make the inscription “Congratulations!”, stick a pink stripe somewhere on the side. Make an engraving with the sharp end of a toothpick.

If desired, fill the empty space with small multi-colored plasticine balls to create a rainbow-colored picture overall.

Beautiful greeting card ready with a bouquet of plasticine flowers.

Handmade gifts for any occasion are highly valued and arouse interest and tenderness towards them. Of course, you can’t say for sure that any woman will be happy with some small gift that you make with your own hands. After all, many people expect chic and elegant gifts from their other halves. In such cases, a homemade gift can be given as a complement to the main and exquisite one.

The basket blanks are made. A little later we will glue them together. Now we need to make flowers to see how many pieces will go into our holiday basket. To do this, take satin ribbon(5 cm wide). Mark 5*5 cm squares. We will need 3 squares for one flower. In total, the basket can accommodate up to 11 tulips.

Fold the square in half diagonally. Hold the edges with tweezers.

Fold again, connecting the lower and upper corners.

And in half again.

Cut off the bottom tip. We process it with fire. Then we also glue together the back part of the leaf using a lighter (after trimming it with scissors). Turn out the petal.

Glue the felt to the base on both sides. We decorate the edges with braid.

We prepare leaves for our multi-colored tulips. Take a green satin ribbon (5 cm wide). Prepare 6 cm long pieces.

Cut each piece in half vertically.

Fold lengthwise. Cut at an angle and glue the edges together with fire.

Take petals of the same color. Apply glue to the inner side of the leaf first. Attach the second leaf. Then glue the third leaf, closing the bud. Glue the edges of the first and third leaves together. It turns out to be a tulip bud. Lubricate the bottom of the bud with glue and place it in a green leaf.

Place the buds in a basket. First and second row. To give a more spring mood, you can add a decorative butterfly.

We make a loop from a satin ribbon (0.5 cm wide) and glue it in the center. Glue a flower or half bead to the center of the bow. We decorate our spring basket with tulips with a bow.

WITH reverse side glue the magnet and our souvenir is ready for March 8th! A refrigerator magnet in the shape of a basket with tulips will be a wonderful gift for any representative of the fair half of humanity!

Painting using kanzashi technique “Spring mood”

Master class on how to make beautiful panel with flowers made from ribbons as a gift on March 8th. The craft is simple and accessible for beginners, but children should do it together with adults, since the edges of the ribbon need to be scorched over a fire.

Required materials:
1. Satin ribbons (width 5 cm) of at least 7 colors - 50 cm of each color.
2. Green satin ribbon (width 2.5 cm) – 2 meters.
3. Stamens (of different shades) – 8-10 threads.
4. The basis for the picture (white cardboard, plastic, etc.) – A3, A4 format.
5. Braid for edging (if there is no frame) - for the entire perimeter.
6. Centers (half beads) for flowers - 7-10 pieces.
7. Decorative element (plastic, wood) “Ladybug” - 1 pc.
8. Decorative element “Butterfly” - 1 pc.
9. White felt or fabric for cross stitch – 20 * 20 cm.
10. Scissors.
11. Thermal gun + rods.
12. Lighter.

Take felt or embroidery fabric, cut out 7 circles (diameter 3 cm). The number of circles depends on the number of flowers in the picture.

Preparing the petals. There should be a sufficient number of them. Take a green satin ribbon (2.5 cm wide). Cut strips 5.5 cm long.

Fold each strip in half. Cut out the petal shape. Heat the edges, forming folds.

We connect the edges at the bottom of the petal using a hot glue gun. The leaves are ready.

Let's start production flower petals. Take a satin ribbon (5 cm wide). Cut into 5*5 cm squares.

Fold the square in half diagonally, wrong side inward.

Fold in half again.

We cut off the ends and solder them with fire. This is what the leaf should look like.

For each flower we will need 11 petals.

Glue the petals onto the felt circle, starting from the center.

Now take three strands of stamens. Fold them in half. Apply a little glue to the bottom of the threads. Twist to secure the shape.

On the back side of the flower (on felt) we glue the stamens. We place a center (bead, half-bead, cabochon) in the center of each flower.

We prepare all the flowers in this way.

Let's get started painting design. Glue 3 green leaves into the lower right corner. Please note that we apply glue to the bottom of the leaf. We will need the top one to glue the next leaf under it.

Place the first flower.

Add leaves and flowers to checkerboard pattern, forming a bouquet.

This is how the bouquet turns out. The more greenery, the richer our flower arrangement will look.
Glue it ladybug. You can go to the bottom edge, you can plant everyone’s favorite insect on one of the flowers.

We create a frame around the perimeter of the painting.

It seemed to me that there were not enough flowers, so I cut out 2.5*2.5 cm squares from a 2.5 cm wide lilac ribbon.

I sewed a thread through the middle and pulled it together in the center. The result was another petal, but for a different flower.

We form a couple more flowers. Glue the butterfly.


Our picture is ready. This gift is perfect for any spring holiday and decorate the interior.

Good day, dear readers of my blog! Today’s post is entirely devoted to the topic “Do-it-yourself gifts for March 8th,” because such a gift is always the best due to its originality.

I turned to Yandex and it found 146 million results for this query, which indicates the enormous popularity of the topic. Today we will touch on only a small part of the information presented on the World Wide Web! And we’ll start the review with the thing in which we usually receive gifts on March 8th...

DIY gifts for March 8th: the best ideas

You can’t even imagine what you can do for this wonderful day!

How to make a paper bag for March 8?

you without special labor you can make a paper gift bag using the elegant models that we offer this collection.

It's simple: choose a ready-made template for the handbag you like, print it on paper (as thick as possible). Now all you have to do is cut out the resulting stamp and glue it strictly according to the instructions. The handbag is ready.

By the way, it is not necessary to choose a template with a ready-made design. There are also clean layouts; your child can design them.

As a result, we get original and practical items for gifts.

More interesting option paper handbag is this model:

Of course, you won’t go to the store with these, but it’s just right for giving a gift for International Women’s Day.

Wonderful tulip pencil holder

This gift is also easy to make with your own hands. you will need the following materials:

  • thick cardboard;
  • colored paper;
  • scissors;
  • glue.

At the first stage, we draw a template for our future pencil and cut out the details from it.

Next, bend the template along the dotted lines.

Now you need to connect the sides with high-quality glue.

At the final stage we glue the bottom. This pencil holder can be given as a gift to teachers and kindergarten teachers.

Bookmark for a book - a simple and necessary gift

Also obtained from paper material. I will offer two of the easiest options to make. So, we need thick cardboard, preferably colored, bright wrapping paper, scissors, glue and everything else you want to decorate your craft with.

First option. We cut out a 10x10 centimeter square from our cardboard. Fold it diagonally 2 times. After this, cut the finished figure into 2 parts, as shown in the picture.

The resulting corner needs to be glued and decorated with sparkles, rhinestones, beads, ribbons or some kind of applique.

Manufacturing second option even students can bookmark junior classes. First, a 10 cm strip with a width of 6 cm is cut out of cardboard. It is folded as shown in the pictures.

The ends of the resulting “envelope” are either left as they are, or cut out in a semicircle or in the shape of a heart. We connect the two halves using applique.

I think girls will like this bookmark.

Elastic band-kanzashi

They can diversify and decorate the everyday hairstyle of those with beautiful long hair. But you don’t have to buy hair ties in the store; you can make a unique thing yourself. It will be much more interesting. The beauty you see in the photo is made from scrap materials.

To sew an elastic flower we need:

  • cardboard;
  • textile;
  • scissors;
  • threads;
  • rubber;
  • beads;
  • needle.

So let's get started. First, we make 3 types of cardboard circles with diameters of 5, 6.5 and 8 cm.

We apply the templates obtained in this way onto the selected fabric base, outline it with chalk and cut out the details - 5 circles of each type.

1) Now take one circle and fold it in half (see picture).

2) Repeat the procedure one more time, folding the previously obtained semicircle in half.

3) Now we have in our hands a part that resembles a petal. We need to stitch it from the bottom with the needle forward.

4) By analogy, we make petals from the remaining 4 circles of this type and collect them on our thread. Having finished, we tighten the thread and we get such a cute flower.

5) In a similar way, we make flowers from all the circles.

6) We connect the resulting 3 flowers together.

7) A regular one is sewn onto the large lower flower.

8) Decorate the small top flower in the middle with a bead of a contrasting color or a pebble.

A great gift for mom - a photo frame

Despite digital technologies, conventional photography is still popular. Agree, it’s nice to look at pictures on photo paper. And if they are, then it becomes double pleasure. Perhaps this is why a gift for March 8 in the form of a hand-made photo frame, which literally anyone can make, is relevant these days. The technology consists of two steps. It is also universal in terms of giving: it can even be used as a children's gift.

First you need to prepare a paper base - it should be dense, so it is better to prefer cardboard. You determine the size yourself, as well as the shape - the future frame and holes for pictures. The latter can be made completely different: a rectangle or a square, a rhombus or a circle, in general, any other shape.

Are you ready? Now use your imagination to design the base. The base of the photo frame can be wrapped with ribbon or colored fabric strips, or decorated with beads, buttons, shells or pebbles. By the way, any of these decorations can be painted over with gouache or watercolors, choosing an interesting color scheme.

When making a photo frame, do not forget to immediately decide on the issue of mounting - will it hang on the wall or stand on the table?

Double surprise - double the joy

A woman will be doubly pleased to receive a sweet gift if it is presented in an original frame. Even ordinary candies. For example, in such an amazing heart-shaped frame that resembles a pink bouquet.

To make it you need to stock up on the following materials:

  • white hard cardboard;
  • double-sided red or burgundy origami paper in A-4 format;
  • candies that are to be framed;
  • a regular toothpick;
  • glue stick;
  • narrow transparent tape;
  • ruler and compass.

In the first stage, we prepare the base: carefully cut out a heart from cardboard - 20 cm in diameter is enough. On its reverse side we draw two straight lines - one divides the heart in half, the second is its height. We mark the intersection of lines with a dot. We take a compass and draw a circle 5 centimeters in diameter (marked with a dotted line in the figure). Stepping 1 cm down from the center, draw an arc - a diameter of 4 cm. The result is a figure like an oval.


Using this sketch, we also cut out the inner oval circle.

The next stage of work is preparing roses using the quilling method. We cut 30-centimeter strips of paper, half a centimeter wide, and screw them tightly onto a toothpick. It is necessary to produce 40 pieces.

We slightly loosen the resulting spirals so that they “move apart”, and glue the free end to the parallel side.

From the resulting blanks, we select 28 pieces and make “petals” from them, squeezing closed spirals on one side. Then, from the remaining ones, we select 3 pieces and prepare “eyes” - the spiral is compressed on both sides. In addition, you will need 6 more “closed” spirals.

We put these details on our heart - decide for yourself how. Try it different options, and only after deciding, glue the roses to the cardboard.

Fur keychain is a cute and pleasant thing

To make a fur keychain, we need a small piece of fur, it’s great if it’s an arctic fox, a piece of leather or leatherette from old bag or gloves. You will also need fishing line, which is used when weaving beads, or strong threads, and a standard key ring. Tools include scissors and a needle.

  1. A piece of fur is folded with the fur inward, and the edges are stitched. Just leave a hole to turn the workpiece inside out.
  2. We use an identical method to make a leather strap. If you want to make a thinner strap, you can immediately sew the workpiece on the right side, bending its edges.
  3. We pass the strap through the ring.
  4. We need one more leather piece. Cut out a rectangle
  5. We also sew it by folding the right side inward. We fix the strap in it.
  6. The base of our bag needs to be folded inward with its edges.
  7. We return to the fur blank: we tighten it with threads on the base.
  8. Now you decide whether or not to use decorative elements and move on.
  9. Let's move on to the final stage. We place the fur ball in a bag and sew it on, at the same time attaching beads in case of decoration. Upon completion of the work, we hide the end of the fishing line (or thread) in a bag. Our keychain is ready.
