Thirstyfortea.comA great gift for tea lovers. “Tea connoisseurs don’t drink sawdust from tea bags!” - you say. But who’s stopping you from packaging good, expensive tea in envelopes?
You will need:
- a cone made of foam plastic or thick cardboard;
- round cardboard box and rice for stump;
- tea packed in small paper bags (the quantity depends on the height and diameter of the cone);
- glue gun;
- star, bows and other decorations of your choice.
Cover the cone with tea bags, applying glue to the top of them. Move from bottom to top checkerboard pattern. It is better to use bags of contrasting colors: the tree will look more elegant.
Glue the lid of the cardboard box to the bottom of the cone. Fill the box itself with rice to make the tree more stable, and then attach it to the lid. If you don’t have a ready-made box of the required diameter at hand, make it yourself. Take a tube from a roll of paper towels as a basis or glue it from cardboard according to this pattern.
Decorate the tree with bows, rhinestones and other decorative elements, and glue a star to the top of the head.
Tara Aveilhe/Flickr.com Girls will highly appreciate such a gift. After all, this is an individual scent; no one in the city will have such a perfume.
Before you create, find out what smells the one you want to please prefers. For example, if a girl likes citrus scents, she will need lemon or orange. To add woody notes, you need sandalwood or cedar oils, powdery ones - roses or vanilla.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup almond butter;
- ½ cup grape oil;
- 100 g beeswax;
- 1 teaspoon vitamin E;
- 60 drops of lemon oil;
- 25 drops of eucalyptus oil;
- 20 drops of lavender oil;
- 20 drops rosemary oil.
Mix almond and grape oils with wax in a separate saucepan and place in a steam bath. When the wax has completely dissolved, let the liquid cool slightly and add essential oils and vitamin E. Pour the future perfume into molds. A bottle of old hygienic lipstick, a jar of Vaseline, etc. will do.
Once the wax has hardened, the perfume is ready to use. All that remains is to package them beautifully.
A great gift for freezing girls. A pair of warm, fairly sturdy socks that you don't wear can be turned into fingerless gloves.
Additional materials:
- thread with a needle;
- heart cut out of felt.
Trim and sew the sock as shown in the photos. Be sure to hem the edge to prevent fraying, and make all seams from the inside out.
Sew a felt heart on top. You can use any other decorative means. For example, embroider the inscription “Happy New Year!” or embroider mitts with rhinestones.
Another DIY gift for those who are always cold is. By heating it for 1-3 minutes in the microwave, you will get a great heating pad that also smells nice.
GA-Kayaker/Flickr.com Paracord is a cord made of nylon. Initially used as a material for parachute lines, but then paracord began to be used wherever a light and strong cable might be needed. For example, stylish men's bracelets are woven from it. IN ordinary life- just a decoration, in an extreme situation - a life-saving rope.
There are various techniques for weaving paracord. Here is one of the most common.
You will need:
- 150 cm of paracord of one color and the same amount of another (it is desirable that the shades be contrasting);
- 75 cm of black paracord;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- needle and thread.
From paracord you can weave not only a bracelet, but also a keychain, or make a braid for a knife or a car steering wheel. You can easily find the diagrams on the Internet. Even easier - watch video tutorials on YouTube, there are many of them.
Witandwhistle.com You can not only drink from such a mug. You can leave messages on it for your household or just draw.
Materials:
- white porcelain mug without relief;
- slate paint;
- masking tape;
- brush.
Chalkboard paint is most often used to renew the surfaces of school boards. Now there is a large selection of such paints. You need one that can work on ceramics. For example, like this one.
Choose an area of the mug that is comfortable to write on, but that will not come into contact with your lips when drinking. Cover the rest of the mug with masking tape.
Degrease the untaped area and apply paint to it in a thick layer. Remove the tape and leave the mug in a well-ventilated area for a day.
Witandwhistle.com When the paint is dry, place the mug in an oven preheated to 150°C. After 30 minutes, turn off the stove, but remove the mug when it has cooled.
Now the mug can be washed in the dishwasher and put in the microwave.
Heygorg.com If you are one of those who like to give experiences rather than material things, you will love this idea. After all, it’s not only a delicious warming drink, but also a reason to go or invite you to visit.
Take some pretty glass jars and fill them about a third full with hot chocolate or cocoa powder. Add a few candies or pieces of chocolate. Fill the remaining space with marshmallows.
Decorate the jars to your liking. For example, place a piece of fabric under the lid and attach a heart made from candy canes to the top. The label can serve as a postcard; write your wishes on it.
Another variation of this gift is a set for mulled wine. Take an orange, an apple, a clove and a cinnamon stick. Pack it all beautifully, make a label with your wishes and add a bottle of good red wine.
Candles - traditional New Year's gift. But glamorous store-bought ones are one thing, a personalized candle or a candle with a phrase understandable only to the giver and recipient, or even with a photograph, is another.
Take:
- white candles with a diameter of 5–7 cm;
- A4 size printing paper;
- parchment paper;
- scissors;
- glue stick;
Trim the parchment paper so that it is 1-2 cm wider than the A4 sheet. Glue the parchment to the printing paper, turning the edges over to the other side. Insert the sheet into the printer with the glossy side, that is, the side where the parchment is. Print out the image you would like to place on the candle.
The drawing will appear on parchment paper. Now you need to transfer it to a candle. Cut out the image, attach it to the candle, wrap it tightly with another layer of parchment on top and direct a stream of hot air onto the resulting structure. If the picture becomes lighter, it means it was imprinted on the candle. Carefully remove the top layer of parchment and let the wax harden.
The gift is ready! If desired, you can decorate it with rhinestones or sparkles.

New Year's packaging for children's gifts: "Hedgehog"
Preparing for the New Year takes a lot of time. One of the most important issues that needs to be resolved in the pre-holiday bustle is what to give and how to give it. If many have already decided on the gift itself and even prepared it, then all that remains is beautiful packaging. In this article we’ll look at how to beautifully wrap a New Year’s gift with your own hands. Below are several options and ideas with descriptions.
Plain paper or burlap can be very stylish packaging. To wrap a gift beautifully, simply wrap it in paper or burlap. You will get stylish and modern packaging. But it is necessary to decorate the packaging with decorative elements. For decoration, you can purchase scrapbooking kits and use decor from them.
You can decorate the packaging with a sprig of rowan or spruce, simply by tying it to the wrapped gift with jute rope or braid.
You can make a boutonniere and attach it to a wrapped gift. We make a boutonniere on a square of paper, gluing spruce branches and any decor onto it.
If the wrapped gift has the shape of an elongated rectangle, then you can attach a pair of eyes and a smile to the package, knit or sew a cap and put it on one side of the rectangle.
You can decorate a gift wrapped in burlap or paper with winter mistletoe flowers. To do this, you need to cut out the flower details from red and green felt. Apply a golden outline to the fabric around the edges of the parts. Glue a flower from several red and green parts. You can make several of these flowers and place them on the packaging, securing them with glue. Glue a bead in the middle of each flower.
Decorating simple corrugated packages
Another stylish option How to beautifully pack a New Year's gift with your own hands - using ordinary cheap paper bags. But we will decorate them in New Year’s style.
To decorate a regular paper bag, you can use one of the following options:
Option #1
The bag can be embroidered. To do this, glue with inside package a small piece of fabric, the size of the intended embroidery. This will strengthen the paper and prevent it from tearing. Choose a pattern for embroidery. It could be a simple star or a herringbone. Draw the outline of the pattern onto the bag. Then embroider along the outline. You can embroider with a simple line stitch only along the contour, or you can do satin stitch embroidery, filling the entire design.
Option No. 2
You can also decorate the bag with a regular design using acrylic paints. To do this, choose a suitable motif, draw a sketch with a pencil and decorate with acrylic paints. In this case, you do not need to dilute the paint with water, otherwise the paper of the bag may get wet.
Option No. 3
Make a beautiful boutonniere from artificial fir branches with decorative decoration. To do this, cut out a small square from paper. We will glue the boutonniere onto it. Prepare twigs, small balls, bells, bows or any other decoration.
Glue branches beautifully onto a paper square so that they diverge from the center to different sides. Then glue the prepared decor on top of the branches. Place double-sided tape on the back of the paper base and attach the boutonniere to the bag in the center or at the handle.
Original types of packaging
For those who do not like traditional options and prefer interesting gifts and unusual packaging, we suggest considering the options below.
Option #1
Take a piece of thick fabric, fleece or velvet napkin. Place the gift box in the center of the cut and tie a knot from the ends of the fabric diagonally and diagonally again. You can insert a flower or spruce sprig into the center of the knot.
Option No. 2
Take 2 sheets of corrugated packaging paper. Place your chosen gift in the middle. Sew the paper in the shape of a star or a boot around the gift. Trim off the excess. This way, the gift will remain inside the stitched figure. To get the gift, you will need to tear open the packaging.
Packaging of threads for knitting or knitwear
Here's another beautiful way to wrap a New Year's gift with your own hands using knitting threads and knitting needles. Let's describe two options.
Option #1
Pack the gift in plain paper. You can use white paper or unbleached paper.
Tie the wrapped gift crosswise with threads in several layers.
Make a couple of pompoms from these threads. To do this, take a ruler and wrap threads quite tightly around it, tie one side tightly with thread, and cut the other side with small scissors.
Tie the pompoms to the ends of the string, tie a bow from it and attach it to the middle of the gift.
You can complement the decoration with a couple of branches from an artificial Christmas tree.
Option No. 2
To do this option you need to know how to knit. To wrap a gift, knit a wide scarf with a braid pattern with stripes, tie it around the gift, and attach a pompom made of thread to the knot.
Or you can knit the packaging itself. To do this, you need to knit a rectangle of such a width that it can fit around the box with the gift. The height should also be equal to the height of the gift plus 5 centimeters.
Sew the edges of the rectangle and the bottom, place the gift in the resulting bag, connect the ends of the knitted package at the top and tie with ribbon or braid.
We sew bags
Very interesting option There will be a homemade gift bag. The easiest way to sew it is from felt. This material is quite easy to work with and looks New Year's.
For the bag we will need:
- felt of different colors;
- braid;
- thread and needle;
- sewing machine;
- paper pattern for appliqué parts for the bag.
You need to think in advance about what will be sewn onto the bag. It could be a Christmas tree, a snowman, Santa Claus. It is not necessary to take complex applications; you can get by with a schematic Christmas tree or a snowflake. Draw a pattern on paper so that you can apply beautiful, even contours of the parts onto the felt. When everything is ready, let's proceed:
- Cut a rectangle from felt of the main color equal to the intended width and height of the bag.
- Open out all the applique details.
- Sew the applique onto the front side of the cut out bag by hand or by machine.
- Fold the bag in half and stitch the edges.
- At the top of the bag, attach a loop from a strip of felt or braid.
- Thread a cord through the loop.
- Place the gift in the bag and tie the string.
The bag can be sewn as a regular rectangle, or in the form of a boot. You can also knit a similar bag with knitting needles.
If desired, you can decorate the sewn or knitted bag with a small boutonniere made of artificial fir branches.
DIY gift boxes
One of the most convenient and presentable ways to pack gifts is boxes. Let's see how to beautifully pack a New Year's gift using homemade boxes.
Boxes can be made from thick multi-colored paper. Below are several options for New Year's boxes with diagrams.
To make a box, take beautiful cardboard. You can use plain cardboard of any shade or with a pattern.
Any box can then be decorated with a ribbon bow, boutonniere, star, thread pompom or any decorative element.
