Hello everyone, hello!! How are you feeling?? Are you ready to welcome spring?! I'm definitely ready!! I really love watching how icicles appear on the roofs and begin to drip loudly in the bright sun, how all nature comes to life, and people come to life and become more beautiful!!
It’s probably no coincidence that Women’s Day is celebrated precisely in the first month of spring, because everything hints at congratulating lovely ladies and once again remind them that they are the personification of beauty and beauty.
Of course, an important issue on International Women's Day is the question of... According to the classics of the genre, men give flowers and sweets, children prepare cards and crafts, and we buy various supplies for girlfriends and colleagues.
But today I invite you to show your imagination and all your handicraft abilities, and make a gift for March 8th with your own hands. And the presents collected into one whole will help you make your choice.
By the way, if your skills are at a high level, then you can even sell gifts; now such a business is popular on the Internet, so think about this idea. After all, original works are highly valued.
From the very beginning, I want to show you various options for the so-called holiday ones, which are suitable for beginners and experienced needlewomen.
I scoured the Internet and found some interesting work:
- Flowers, of course, top the top of the pedestal. They are usually decorated in a bouquet and are most often made from sweets and corrugations.
I already talked about how to make such a gift from tulips, if you missed it, take a look.
- Symbolic figure eights made of satin ribbons and beads can serve as an excellent decoration.
- And flowers created using any technique can not only be collected into a bouquet, but also decorate chocolates and gift certificates.
- Well, where would we be without. They are probably on par in popularity with bouquets. Don't you think so??
- And look at this elegant shoe. Just a great and original gift for a lady!! We'll talk about this kind of work in detail a little later, so read on.
- Here is a perfect option for a decorative flower in a pot, for those who know how and love to sew.
- This is an excellent topiary, you already need to have certain skills and abilities.
- This gift is very easy to prepare. Bake cupcakes, decorate them with gift paper and ribbons, print out any text, attach with a stapler and the gift is ready. This product is very suitable for congratulating colleagues at work.
- A simple cardboard card, corrugated paper and candy with ribbons.
- Here are gifts for your favorite girlfriends or classmates. Looks great!!
- Well, we give this magical jar to those with a sweet tooth, and to all the girls, because we love treats!!
- And here's another very creative idea congratulations. Make a paper cake, put a wish and a surprise inside each piece.
- And if you don’t know what to give as a gift and don’t know how to work with your hands)) although I certainly doubt it)) Then put on beautiful balloons, having previously put the treasured pieces of paper there, let the lady buy herself what she wants. But the gift will still be personal, because you earned the money with your own hands))
- This is for tea lovers. Do beautiful packaging and print wishes for each bag, kind words, glue it. Your present is ready.
As you can see, all gift ideas are very simple and require inexpensive materials and very little time to make. But they will give any purchased product a head start. So don’t be lazy, but do something on your own, the recipient will be very pleased.
By the way, perfumes would be an excellent gift, but not purchased, but made with your own hands. I came across this interesting article on this topic https://domovodstvo-kulinariya.ru/podarok-na-8-marta.html, look, I think the girls will be delighted!!
Master class on making a basket with sweets
And now I still want to dwell on flowers again. And I want to show you in detail how you can make a whole basket of edible flowers. I'm intrigued, then let's get to it.
You will need: green corrugated paper, corrugated paper for the flower (select desired color), small candy, floral wire, tape, strong threads, scissors, basket.
Manufacturing process:
1. From corrugated paper, cut out 6 petals 4 cm wide and 7 cm high. Then 5 more petals 6 cm wide and 7 cm high.
2. Round the edges of the petals.
3. Pull out each piece along its entire length, but do not touch the edges.
4. Cut out the sepals for the flower as shown in the photo. Stretch the middle from the edge to the top of each workpiece, and twist the edges a little.
5. Secure the candy to the wire with thread.
6. Take one of the wide petals and wrap it around the candy so that it is not visible.
7. Also wrap the remaining 4 wide petals tightly so that the height is the same.
8. Now wrap the narrower rose petals. Place them 2 opposite each other. They also need to be strengthened tightly.
9. Tape the sepals with tape.Make a lot of flowers and arrange them beautifully in a basket. By the way, you don’t have to buy a basket, but also make it yourself, for example from newspaper tubes, see below.
Here they are beautiful roses they work!!
Look at what other beauty you can create:
Or you can complement the usual bouquet with champagne and a bottle of wine.
And also give more soft toy, which you can sew yourself, or buy.
And this work just won my heart!! Such tenderness!!
It is precisely these kinds of baskets that are very successful in making for sale; they are in special demand.

You will need: a paper towel tube, scissors, PVA glue, pen refill, any decorative elements, clear varnish to cover the product.
Manufacturing process:
1. You need to cut strips from newspaper.
2. Then roll them into a tube using the rod from the pen, while holding the rod at an angle.
3. At the end, the edge needs to be greased with glue so that the tube does not fall apart.

2. Now sew open and closed pocket, pocket for scissors. Sew a piece of felt for needles with a stitch “forward to the needle.”
3. Sew sheets of felt, on which all the pockets are already sewn, onto the base of the organizer. You can put cardboard rectangles between the elements of the parts, so the product will not lose its shape.
4. All that remains is to sew buttons on the pocket flap and to fasten the organizer, then cut the loops. And everything is ready.
That's all I have for today. Any other ideas?! Don’t be shy and write in the comments, because what more gifts, the more choice we will have for creativity. Wishing you all spring sun and warmth!!
We're all looking forward to warm and bright spring holiday called March 8th. This wonderful holiday In spring, men shower all women with chic bouquets of flowers, favorite sweets, luxurious perfumes and various perfume sets. On March 8, no woman is left without attention and a gift. Moreover, not only men give gifts on this day, but also women themselves congratulate each other on this spring day and exchange all sorts of small souvenirs. They congratulate everyone, starting with little girls and ending with grandmothers. That is why this day is called International Women's Day, March 8th. Everything is clear with men's gifts, but difficulties arise in the gifts that women prepare for each other. It is necessary to congratulate the educator, teacher, director, not to mention the mother, grandmother, daughter, friend, sister. But you need to pay at least minimal attention to everyone, so you need to think about how to prepare gifts for everyone at a low cost. The ideal women's gift would be a congratulations card, which you can also make with your own hands. Moreover, if you make it in the form of a box in which you can put a chocolate bar, then the gift will turn out to be 2 in 1, and you can leave wishes and put your favorite chocolate in it. This postcard is called “Chocolate Girl”, and it is made using a technique that is quite interesting today.
You can get started and take the following for this:
Chocolate pot diagram;
Blue leather-look cardboard, A4 format;
Scrappaper in blue-blue tone with daisies, sheet 30*30 cm;
Picture with a bunny and flowers;
The die-cut circle is light pink;
Printed inscriptions with wishes;
White and blue flowers of gardenia, hydrangea and fabric lilies;
Polymer rose decorations and a key in white and blue colors;
Light blue grosgrain polka dot ribbon;
Satin blue polka dot ribbon;
Frame from polymer clay light blue;
Sugar stamens and berries are green, blue and beige;
Blue ink;
Flower stamp;
Border Flower Punch;
Cabochons and half beads are blue and white;
Wide blue ribbon with white and pink butterflies;
PVA glue;
Ruler, scissors and pencil;
Double-sided tape;
Lighter;
Sewing machine.
The diagram shows an unfolded chocolate bowl. When folded, it will be 9*17 cm in size, respectively, with reserves for the pocket exactly in a horizontal position, one sheet is enough.
Cut out the base from blue cardboard. It has bend lines, we draw them under the ruler with scissors. We cut out the remaining strips with a border hole punch. From blue satin ribbon cut out two 15 cm pieces.
Fold the box and glue one strip on the bottom and the second on top.
We cut out three 8.5*16.5 cm rectangles from scrap paper. We round off all the pictures and cut them out along the ribbon.
Using PVA glue and double-sided tape we glue pictures, ribbons and strips, as in the photo.
We sew on all the pictures and inscriptions using a typewriter. Now we glue all three rectangles to the base and also sew each one in turn.
Happy first day of spring, dear friends! Another selection of ideas for the holiday! This time, let’s get inspired by looking at original ways to wrap gifts for March 8th!:)
IDEA No. 1. FLOWERS
The most unprepossessing packaging can be refreshed and made festive by adding flowers.
For example, you can decorate with artificial flowers, dried flowers, flowers made from corrugated paper, napkins, fabric or felt. There are many options.
This packaging with paper flowers can be made with a child. From colored paper, you need to cut rectangular blanks, roll them, glue strips of napkins or colored paper inside, then glue them in layers to the gift wrapping.
You can even decorate it fresh flowers. This design is short-lived, but very unusual and festive. In order for the composition of flowers on a gift to last longer, you can place it in a floral sponge. You can cover the tips of the flowers with paraffin for longer preservation, or use special flasks with a solution (for example, orchids are sold with such flasks; they can be used to decorate a gift).
You can watch a master class on decorating a gift with fresh flowers
IDEA No. 2. POM POMS FROM napkins
An original and budget-friendly idea is to make pompoms from napkins! I love decorating our house with such pompoms for the holidays, making them is very simple, just fold the napkins, cut them out and fasten them with thread or a stapler. Cutting such “flowers” is easier than snowflakes.
IDEA No. 3. GEOGRAPHICAL MAPS
Satin ribbons, several bright jewelry, and ordinary cards can turn into spectacular gift wrapping!
IDEA #4: CUPcake tins
IDEA No. 5. LACE
You can decorate regular craft paper with lace (as well as any plain wrapping paper and fabric).
Templates for music paper or black and white postcards can be downloaded from the Internet and printed on a printer.
IDEA No. 6. PACKING A SCARF OR SCARF
Very beautiful and interesting option- postcard packaging for neckerchief or a scarf. I still haven’t found a detailed master class. But it’s quite possible to download a retro, vintage or pin-up picture from the Internet. Print it on a color printer on thick paper (you can first select the format in Word so that the format resembles a postcard), and then fold it in half like a postcard, make a cut and insert a scarf. Then glue along the contour.
FUROSHHIKI
Another interesting packaging option - Furoshiki. This is a Japanese gift wrapping technique that originated back in 710 - 794 AD. Now it is environmentally friendly, original packaging and the way things are stored. Detailed master classes and diagrams, look
Using scarves, you can decorate gifts of various shapes for March 8: perfume bottles, handbags, bottles, sweets, cosmetic bags, etc.
IDEA #7. FEATHERS
Such feathers can be made from watercolor paper or thin cardboard. You need to cut out the shape of a feather from paper or cardboard, make cuts and paint it using gold or silver gouache, or decorative spray. This packaging will be relevant for stationery or book packaging.
IDEA #8: FAMILY PHOTOS
IDEA #9: SOUVENIR CONES
In order to make a cone, you need to cut out rectangles of suitable size from paper, roll them up and secure them with a stapler, double-sided tape or a glue gun. On the computer, you can type out a wish for March 8 in a beautiful font, print it out and paste it on! Add decor - bows, rhinestones, ribbons, buttons, flowers and butterflies.
IDEA No. 10. BOWS
In order to get neat bows, you need to use a template. Now on the Internet, you can download many templates for such paper bows, in any suitable color.
Or, you can download the template, move the outline onto the paper you chose for the gift, and cut it out.
With the help of such a paper bow, you can decorate regular craft paper!
P.S. I hope you find something interesting for yourself, share in the comments how you want to decorate your gifts for March 8th! Happy spring, have a good mood! :)
Hello! The time has come for the most delicious, original and funny gifts! You won't believe it! But today you and I will compose together! I hope we will surprise everyone with how we decorate the holiday! Therefore, I propose to announce the agenda and open your own creative workshop!
Various options for serving treats
It would seem, well, why invent something, make up some compositions when confectioners have already come up with everything for us and included it in their desserts? And what can you come up with, since you can’t bend and glue candies? Therefore, I’ll start by talking about the “abilities” of sweets. Of course, in the first place - they delight us with their taste. But what can be done with them, and what ideas embodied in delicacies?
Candies:
- Different in shape and size. This means that you and I can choose exactly those that suit us best.
- Designers of confectionery factories have already “awarded” lollipops and chocolates with bright “clothing”. And we can use this in our works.
- The treats themselves cannot be glued together, but they can be secured by wrapping or wrapping them in paper packaging.
- Or, you can simply tie candies together to create unique bouquets.
- If the dessert is in a box, you can think about how to decorate a box of chocolates.
We will try many of these options. And we’ll try to add a little creativity to make something original out of something simple.
We make sweet gifts with our own hands
Let's look at several versions, which present you can make:
Flowers
Well, a very tasty bouquet in 1 minute
I'll start from the very beginning simple option a bouquet that even a man who is not interested in needlework can handle. We make a bag, like for seeds, from bright paper and fill it with beautiful goodies, you can dilute it with fresh flowers.
Mini bouquet of lilies
The second option is more complicated, but in principle, everyone can do it too.
In one of the articles I already talked about how you can “hide” sweets in small bouquets. And today we will make lilies.
We will need:
- Sweets;
- Corrugated paper (wide tape);
- Wire;
- Glue;
- Green paper;
- Scissors;
- Foam;
- Rubber plumbing tape;
- Pot.
Let's do it together step by step with your own hands flowers.
Candy roses
Simple roses with Raffaello
Candy crocuses
Bottle decoration
Again, several options.
One of them is simple. You need to wrap the champagne with beautiful paper or cloth, a scarf. And stick in flowers with chocolates using a wavy line.
But decorate champagne It can be done in a more complex and interesting way. The entire bottle, up to the neck, is wrapped with double-sided tape. Sweets are attached to it with “tails”. In this case, it doesn’t matter what it will be, chocolate or candy, but it is important that their shape is round and that the wrapper is yellow. It’s safer to glue it with hot glue, but also be careful not to melt the candy.
The neck of the bottle is decorated with strips of green paper with one end pointed. The junction of the “grass” and the “bumps” is masked with a bow. We get... pineapple!
Candy cake
Favorite treat or original gift! And again I will spoil you with several options:
- Place the finished port (either prepared yourself or purchased) on the sides with candies, the length of which is slightly higher than the height of the cake. You can either pour chocolate on top. Or make an installation out of chocolates. Or even easier - decorate with beautiful marshmallows.
- Cardboard cake. The top can even be decorated with fresh flowers.
We make several layers of “cake” from cardboard. To do this, cut out circles. 2 large ones - the bottom and the first layer, and then smaller and smaller circles. We fasten the cardboard along the edge of the first circle with an edge. We place the second circle on it. Etc. When all the work with the cardboard is done, we place the candies on the sides and glue them to the cardboard, and then tie them with a beautiful ribbon. All that remains is to fill in the horizontal surfaces. You can do this with M&M's dragees, or any other sweets. 
Figures
The most current figure is . We’ll make it using the spools left over from the tape. First, we cut out circles of the same diameter as the babinas. And use them to close the holes. Now we attach oblong sweets to each woman. The main thing is that their length is greater than the width of the bobbin. We tie it with ribbons. This is how you can connect both sides of the figure eight. All that remains is to apply the pattern to the circles. You can write wishes on them.
And again, let's diversify this option:
- Glue wishes on each treat and pack it in a cute bag.
- Cooking DIY gift candies. Inside them we put a nut, raisins, a piece of apple, etc. And we write: if you come across a nut - to surprise. Raisins are for fun...
- We make it out of paper new packaging for dessert. We write wishes and pack each chocolate bar. The one who prints it will read what we want to wish him!
I wish everyone inspiration! A good mood with such crafts guaranteed!
There is still time until March 8, so visit the site for new ideas. I offer a sumptuous menu featuring crafts constructed from... different materials. You will have a choice. You can choose a material that is more convenient for you and your little ones. To receive all articles and not miss a single one, subscribe. Invite your friends, and you will have topics that you will be interested in discussing together!
And I'm done for today. Bye bye!
