Your gift to a relative or friend, woman or man, can be highly appreciated depending on a small addition - beautiful packaging, chosen with taste and in accordance with its content. It gives safety and an aesthetic appearance to your gift, creating a festive mood on your birthday or other celebration. If the gift is packaged in an unusual way - with a bit of creativity and an individual approach, then you are guaranteed a positive impression of it even before removing the wrapper.

Packaging “according to all rules”

Modern industry offers us thousands of packaging options - soft, hard, colored, etc. However, before directly choosing how to originally pack a gift from this variety, you need to know the small nuances and “secrets” of this rather delicate matter.

Main and additional materials

The standard boxes in which the item was sold in the store, and even traditional velvet boxes, have long since become a thing of the past, looking banal and not at all interesting. Nowadays, the production of packaging materials can provide you with a lot of opportunities both in itself and for the flight of your personal imagination. These could be:

• Special gift boxes of various fancy shapes with various designs, embossing, varnishing elements, etc.,
• Polyethylene bags, decorated with printed designs suitable for the holiday - for a birthday or any other holiday - New Year etc.,
• Packaging paper, colored, plain, shiny,
• Fabric bags of various shapes and designs,
• Accessories – fabric and paper ribbons, as well as ready-made decorations in the form of flowers, rhinestones, etc.

Your choice may be on hard or soft packaging made of cardboard, polyethylene, paper, fabric in various combinations. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to do this yourself - many special workshops will be happy to offer the services of experienced packers.

ATTENTION! If you are going to give a gift to a respectable citizen, then it is better to solve all packaging issues in a special salon, but the gift to a loved one It’s quite possible to design it yourself, adding something original “on your own” to it. Such an addition will once again prove your attention to his individuality on a special day.

Features of the color scheme

The color of the box or package should not only convey a festive atmosphere, but also correspond to other features:

1. Holiday traditions: Heart designs are considered a tradition for weddings and Valentine's Day, New Year involves more shiny elements, and on a birthday it is better to turn to personal preferences.
2. Personality of the recipient: light colors and bright fragments are more suitable female, for a man they usually choose rigor and style, for a child - cartoon pictures and delicate combinations. For good friend You can decorate the gift in a cool way, but if you have a business relationship, then it’s better to choose a neutral style.
3. The meaning of color combinations, which many people attach great importance to:

• Green and blue are considered neutral and "solid"
• Yellow gives the gift some frivolity, but it looks good only in combination with other colors, and, for example, it can be greeted with caution by the woman you love,
• Determined and ardent red is not suitable for every holiday (in particular, birthdays) and usually does not look good on large gifts,
• Purple is original, but not everyone may like it,
• Warm brown is not usually perceived as festive or formal.

ATTENTION! It is better to use gold and silver tones only as decoration elements, in combination with other, less pretentious colors.

Original do-it-yourself packaging

If you decide to pack your holiday offering yourself, you can create truly real masterpieces - you just need to apply a little skill and imagination.

Spend the evening making a dozen teabags from old newspaper? Nonsense - you say. Nowadays, at every step you can order packaging for any gift, choose the colors of the paper, ribbons and bow yourself. But those who like to give and receive something original and extraordinary will understand me perfectly. A gift chosen with skill, thoughtfully and thoughtfully, and presented beautifully... everyone’s dream! So, how can you make something inimitable out of packaging?

Buying a gift is half the battle. Packing it beautifully is the challenge. website I figured out how to quickly and simply wrap gifts beautifully and how to carefully wrap what I bought.

Where to buy everything you need

Bookstore

The stationery department of your nearest bookstore sells basic set: paper, bags, tapes, scissors and double-sided tape. This should be enough to wrap anything neatly. Next to the first grader's set, you can find ironic stickers with Simba or Elsa, which will decorate a nostalgic gift for a millennial.

Supermarket

For the New Year, wrapping paper and ribbons are displayed in seasonal goods areas in supermarkets. Some stores (for example, Tsvetnoy and Stockmann) offer their own packaging services for gifts purchased from them.

Gift Shop

Flower kiosk

It is worth going to the flower shop in search of transparent film, twine, crepe paper and twigs to decorate the result.

Hobby store

Artist supply stores are a reliable source of crafting materials, a variety of papers (in addition to packaging, they sell crepe and tissue paper, multi-colored tracing paper and all kinds of films) and beautiful accessories. Look for them in the scrapbooking departments: glue-based mirror stars, pompons, voluminous and not so voluminous stickers, curly scissors and hole punches are waiting for you in “Leonardo”, “Peredvizhnik” and “Red Pencil”.

How to quickly and accurately wrap a gift yourself

Let's start with the basics: how to wrap a box in one of the basic shapes, put a gift beautifully in a bag, or make a bag with your own hands. None of these tasks require special skills. But accuracy will certainly come in handy (and also tape, scissors and double-sided adhesive tape).

A basic tutorial on how to pack a regular box from Hallmark veterans

Now the task is more difficult - to wrap a cylindrical object beautifully. But it can also be solved if you have patience.

A lesson for those who don’t feel strong enough to manipulate tape and scissors: you can decorate beautifully even a gift that was simply put in a bag.

How to wrap a gift in an unusual way

Use fabric instead of paper

For example, linen. This will save the gift from hard lines on the folds and make it very pleasant to the touch. It’s a shame to even throw away such packaging.

Instead of paper tape, use velvet

One detail, what a difference it makes.

Find unusual paper

Gasoline stains, marbling, bright graphic prints - all this will free you from the need to do anything else with the gift.

Sprinkle the packaging with glitter or cover it with pompoms

Again, a very simple modification. Coat the packaging with glue and sprinkle with glitter from a hobby store.

Combine different patterns

Two different sheets of wrapping paper can look twice as impressive - if you choose the right pattern.

How to decorate your gift

Once the gift has been carefully wrapped in paper and tied with ribbon, it can be decorated. Accessories can be purchased or homemade, with or without meaning. They can even smell - if you take dried oranges, cinnamon, star anise or spruce twigs. Here are some ideas to get you started on your journey as a professional designer.

Fir sprig

A small sprig of fir, sage or a herbarium left over from the summer is the simplest and most effective way to decorate a minimalistically packaged box.

Beautiful and unusual DIY gift wrapping (50 photos)

An invitation to a holiday will inevitably raise questions among those invited - what to give and how to wrap the gift in an original way? Choosing a gift is a delicate matter. There are universal gifts:

• money (for a wedding or birthday);
• a bottle of good whiskey or aged wine (relevant for men);
• large plush toys (for a child or newborn).

Popular design options are a beautiful gift bag, gift paper, or a creatively designed box. Wrapping gifts with your own hands, beautifully and unusually, is not at all a difficult task.

Wrapping paper

A very common option for gift wrapping is gift wrapping paper. This option is suitable for weddings, birthdays, and children's party, and if you just give candy. You don't need to have any special skills to carefully and beautifully wrap a rectangular box, book, picture or candy.

For packaging you will need:

• beautiful gift paper;
• scissors;
• tape (you can use regular transparent tape, buy a special one with a pattern, or, best of all, take double-sided adhesive tape).

The width of the paper must be no less than the length of the box folded to twice its height (a = b+2c, where a is the width of the paper, b is the length of the box, c is the height of the box). The length of the required amount of paper is the sum of the width of all sides of the parallelepiped box. It’s worth paying attention to this, because if you determine the dimensions correctly, it will be easier to pack.

Packing process

How to wrap a gift in paper:

1. We place a book or box with a gift in wrapping paper, across it. We glue tape to one of the edges of the paper and secure it to the box. It is better to measure in advance the amount of paper required for the wrapper and cut it off the roll, hiding the cut edge inside the package.
2. Wrap tightly so that the joint of the edges of the paper is on top. We fasten the second edge of the wrapping paper.
3. Now we wrap the ends. Bend the top part and secure it with tape.
4. Then there are two options: either we wrap the side parts, or the bottom part. The final result depends on this appearance packaging. If you use double-sided tape, then there is no problem - it will not be visible.
5. Repeat the same on the other side of the box.
6. Add decorative bows or tie with ribbon. The beautiful book packaging is ready!

This type of packaging is good for placing rectangular gifts, such as a book, perfume or candy. If it is not possible to purchase wrapping paper or the gift is too large (for example, a large painting or a toy for a newborn), then interesting idea for packaging - use of fabric. This will be especially appropriate for gift wrapping for a chintz wedding (first anniversary life together) or for a holiday in honor of a newborn. The fabric should be used in the same way as paper; it can be secured with tape or glue.

How to give money

Money is usually given in an envelope that can be made at home. This great gift for a wedding or birthday! It is better to make an envelope for money from thick paper. Good idea- use of kraft paper as the basis of an envelope for money. Decorate it with appliqués, glitter or ribbons for an interesting and unique package.

DIY gift wrapping of custom shapes

To wrap gifts of non-standard shape, you need to get a little creative. Original idea for small gifts - this is packaging in a gift shirt or T-shirt:

1. We put the gift on the T-shirt, in its central part.
2. Alternately bend the upper part first, then the lower one towards the center.
3. We also fold the sides of the T-shirt. This packaging will look unusual.
4. To secure such packaging, use decorative or satin ribbon, bias tape, twine or twine. Carefully tie a bow and you're done.

If you choose a T-shirt with long sleeve(such as a sweatshirt or turtleneck), you can make a knot for fastening from the sleeves. Great option, if you want to give your friend candy and an original T-shirt.

Gift wrapping for a man

An idea for packing a shirt as a gift for your husband for his birthday is a homemade bag made of thick paper. A man will appreciate not only the gift itself, but also the effort put into making the bag. You will need:

• wrapping paper;
• scissors;
• glue and tape;
• tape for handles.

How to do:

1. Fold the measured paper in half and secure the long free edges with tape.
2. Place the junction of the edges not on the fold of the package, but closer to the center. We transform the lower part into the bottom of the package. Make a fold (the distance will be equal to the width of the bottom). Separate the sides of the bag, fold the corners on both sides inward, making triangles. The side fold line on each triangle should coincide with the bottom fold line. Fold the bottom and top edges so that they are in place of the main fold. We fix this connection with tape. This is the most difficult stage of making a bag.
3. Take a rectangle of thick paper and glue tape-handles to it. Handicraft stores have blanks that you can purchase to significantly reduce the time it takes to make a bag.
4. We glue the rectangle with handles from the inside on opposite sides of the package. We wait until everything is dry and lay the shirt down.

Original bottle packaging

Good alcohol is often given as a gift, especially to men. How to pack a bottle as a gift so that it looks beautiful and elegant? You can use paper.

1. Cut a strip of paper to the appropriate width.
2. Wrap the paper around the bottle, securing the edges with tape.
3. At the bottom of the bottle you need to carefully bend the edges of the paper and secure with tape.
4. Tie the neck with a beautiful ribbon. Cut the remaining paper into narrow strips and twist with scissors.

The second idea for packaging a bottle as a gift for a man is a suit. The bottle costume looks very interesting and creative.

1. Take an old shirt and cut off the sleeve.
2. We place the bottle in it with the neck to the cuff so that it completely covers the neck.
3. Sew the edges at the bottom of the bottle. You can get more sophisticated and cut out a separate part for the bottom of the bottle.
4. Place an accessory (bow tie or tie for men, mini beads for women) at the bottom of the neck. You'll get a real costume for a bottle!

How to pack tea as a gift in an original way

In special stores that sell tea, there is a wide selection of all kinds of metal and wooden jars. But if you want to surprise the recipient, then make gift packaging for tea with your own hands.

Types of packaging:

• a bag made of transparent film (suitable for giving gourmet tea);
• Kraft paper packaging;
• original shaped box.

To pack tea, it is better to choose rigid transparent film so that it forms something like a box rather than a bag. You can use floral film: it is easy to find and the color variations are very wide.

Boxes of the original shape are quite simple to make; you need a lot of cardboard and a stationery knife.

1. We select a stencil and print it on plain paper in the correct actual size.
2. We transfer the contours onto cardboard.
3. We cut out the blank with a stationery knife.
4. We make small cuts at the folds.
5. Let's collect the box!

It is necessary to determine the dimensions correctly in advance; packing will be easier.

How to properly pack a gift if you don't have enough wrapping paper

Do you want to learn how to make gift boxes with your own hands?! In this review we will present to your attention as many as 25 ideas for making them.

Below you will find a wide variety of examples of gift boxes that you can make yourself without any special skills. Well, the result will be an exclusive copy of the packaging for the selected gift. Moreover, even if you follow the instructions in this review step by step, your box can still be considered exclusive. Since in any case, to make it you will use your own materials (paper, cardboard, ribbons, rhinestones, buttons), which will differ in color and texture from those presented in a particular master class. Well, let's get started.

How to make a gift box with your own hands.

1. Box house.

You need to print out the template below on beautiful paper. As a last resort, you can try to redraw it by hand. Then the workpiece must be cut and folded along all the dotted lines. In the bottom of the box you need to create two slits with a stationery knife into which you should insert the tape. All that remains is to glue the house, cut out two rectangles for the roof from matching paper, bend each of them 1 cm, and also make slits in each of them (see photo). Insert a ribbon into these slots, place the gift inside, and tie the ribbon on top in the form of a bow.

2. Round cardboard box.

You need to cut 4 circles from porous packaging cardboard, two of them should be slightly larger than the other two. From beer cardboard, cut two strips the size of the circles, with some overlap, one wide, the other narrow. Glue together 2 large circles using double-sided tape or instant glue, then glue the remaining 2 circles separately. We will create the base of the box from smaller circles; to do this, we apply a transparent moment to the sides of the circle, glue a strip of cardboard here, for strength, you can stick another one on top of this strip. We do the same with the lid, glue a narrow cardboard strip around the perimeter of the large circle. You can create a bow from a ribbon; to do this, cut the ribbon in half, glue its ends to the inside of the lid, and tie the remaining ends on top in the form of a bow.

3. Cake made from felt and a plastic container.

You need to purchase a plastic container round shape with lid. We cut out strips of felt with a width and length comparable to the side of the container. Glue the felt using double-sided tape. Glue a round piece of felt fabric onto the lid. We glue openwork braid along the bottom and top of the “cake”. Glue flower-shaped ribbon to the top of the lid and create roses from cotton pads. See the photo below for how to make these. In the center of the cake you can glue two or three felt strawberries stuffed with padding polyester. All that remains is to put the gift inside and the present can be given to the recipient.

4. Box made using origami technique.

We print out the template presented below on suitable paper (although, however, it can be redrawn by hand). We cut out the workpiece and create folds along the dotted lines using a ruler.

We put the present inside and collect the “petals” on top (see photo).

6. Box in the shape of a carrot.

8. Square box.

Print out the templates below. On the side parts, where the “wings” are, you can make marks with a pencil and create folds along them. Similar folds must be made in the central part of the box and lid. We glue the box and the lid separately from each other using instant glue applied to the wings. Finally, the box can be decorated with glued pieces of cute paper, as well as cute braid.
