Handmade New Year gifts always evoke delight and a special, reverent attitude. 2017 under the patronage Fire Rooster favorable for family and business, but the proud bird patronizes only hardworking people who are not afraid to follow their own ideas. Making New Year's gifts for friends and family yourself is not at all difficult. Even a holiday package made from hand-painted paper or a homemade card for mom will bring warmth to a cold winter day.
The easiest way to make an original and unusual gift– use regular store-bought sweets. Edible chocolate gifts are an eternal classic, suitable for congratulating colleagues, boss, girlfriends, family and close friends.
The original idea is non-standard packaging of an edible gift. More precisely, you should add a good bottle of champagne to your sweet gift and you can make a “Candy Pineapple”. To make a pineapple gift for the New Year 2017 you will need:
- 1 bottle of champagne
- Candies in golden foil, depending on the size of the candies, at least 60 pcs.
- Brown twine
- Piece of golden, yellow or brown floral crepe
- Green soft colored paper or special floral aspidastrum ribbon
- Double-sided tape or glue gun
The bottle should be cleaned of dust and wiped dry. Wrap the champagne in floral crepe and secure well with hot glue or tape. Crepe is corrugated paper, widely used to decorate flower bouquets. You can buy it at a flower shop.
If the selected candies are tightly wrapped in foil, you can proceed to the next step. If the sweets have a regular candy package with two tails, then these tails should first be folded back and glued.
Working with double-sided tape is much safer; it won’t burn your fingers, even by accident.
But a glue gun glues the label more reliably.
Each candy must be glued to the bottle with double-sided tape or using the best assistant for hand-makers - a glue gun. It is better to use the highest quality adhesive tape, otherwise the candies will begin to fall off in the midst of the celebration.
From colored paper or green floral tape, cut out pineapple leaves similar in shape to real ones. The leaves are glued around the circle of foil, covering the neck of the bottle. New Year's pineapple 2017 is ready. Using the same principle, but without a bottle of champagne as a base, you can make an edible Christmas tree from multi-colored candies or a golden apple.
Handmade soap
Very fashionable and useful gift. In 2017, a practical approach is highly valued. New Year's gifts to loved ones in the form of small shaped pieces of soap with a charming aroma are the best idea. Making soap is much easier than it seems at first glance.
There are a huge number of specialized stores for handicrafts and all kinds of crafts that will offer a choice of soap bases, fragrances, oils, dyes and molds for making soap. To make New Year's soap self made you will need:
- 200 gr. soap base(sold in stores)
- 10 ml. base oil (shea, jojoba, almond, etc.)
- 5 ml. fragrances
- Dyes and fillers as desired
- Medical alcohol
Making soap
- Cut the base into small pieces with a knife and melt in a water bath. You can use a microwave for melting, but there is a risk of overheating.
- Add filler to the liquid base and stir well. As a useful component, you can use white clay, ground coffee, oatmeal or implement other non-standard ideas.
- Add dye and mix thoroughly. This is an optional item. For example, you can make coffee soap without dye. Spilled coffee will perfectly color the base a brown-coffee shade.
- Base oil and fragrance are added to the base with fillers. Any natural aromatic oil (mint, orange, rose, etc.) will be useful as a aroma. It is better to select the scent according to the preference of the person for whom the gift is being prepared. For example, we choose delicate lavender for our mother, and sandalwood for our other half.
- The finished mixture is poured into clean, dry silicone molds, the surface is sprayed with alcohol to prevent bubbles.
After complete hardening, depending on the volume of the silicone mold, after 2-3 days the soap can be put into packaging. You can take a regular one as a gift. cardboard box, line it with soft New Year's napkin and arrange the soap pieces. The top of the package is decorated with snowmen, congratulatory inscriptions and other 2017 paraphernalia.
Gift wrap
Any gift will be given a homely and sophisticated look by packaging suitable for the occasion. Original ideas for decoration New Year's gifts will become a source good mood for each family member. The easiest way is to buy wrapping paper and tape for original packaging won't do.
For small gifts, you can sew bags from transparent organs, silk or burlap. Embroidery “to mom,” “to dad,” or with the recipient’s name will look great on the fabric. Using applique on the boxes you can depict cool and funny figures that suit the occasion. For example, a snowman with scissors who is trying to unpack someone else's gift.
Every mother is a bit of a craftswoman. After all, she has to darn, sew, build carnival costumes for kids or even a royal crown.
How can a mother please her loved ones for the new year 2017? Best ideas simple and original New Year's surprises for children for the 2017 Year of the Red Rooster:
- Using a needle, thread and colorful scraps, you can update your doll's wardrobe or make unusual decoration for a girl.
- Knitting skills will help mom make fun, warm socks with cockerels for the whole family.
