Why have different kinds of gift boxes become so popular? If you approach the presentation of gifts from the standpoint of "and without packaging it is good", then it is enough to imagine a picture of how all the gifts lie under the Christmas tree in a large pile. And without the proper approach, this will be a real bunch, besides, it is simply not clear where whose gift is. To give a loved one special joy, you need to competently approach the issue of presenting a presentation: we are not lazy and prepare gift boxes for the New Year with our own hands.
What you need to make DIY Christmas boxes
Depending on the expected result, a suitable material for packaging products is selected. Cardboard is best suited for this purpose: you can take white, if you mean decor, colored, with a print, or use thick paper for scrapbooking.
There is a fun way to turn ordinary cardboard into painted one. To do this, purchase a large New Year's napkin. A cling film is very carefully applied to the cardboard, a napkin is spread on top. On top of the napkin, through a sheet of A4 office paper, the cardboard is ironed with an iron on medium heat. Thanks to the cling film, the napkin will perfectly adhere to the cardboard, making it colorful.
Also, depending on the type of product, you may need a box template, a ruler, a simple pencil, scissors, a satin ribbon or string for strings.

The round shape attracts many people, so you shouldn't ignore the geometry of smooth lines. It will not be difficult to build such a box. It is better to take thick cardboard, which can then be decorated like New Year's.

The height of the model can be any, but to get the perfect container for gifts, we measure the length of the base of the circle-bottom. This wide strip should have a series of "teeth" that will serve to glue the bottom and sides. The lid is made in a similar way; to measure its lateral edge, measure the length of the base of the lid.

New Year's packaging for children's gifts: "Hedgehog"
Hello everyone! Thanks for checking out the blog! We continue to prepare for the New Year and today's topic: how to pack gifts with our own hands.
I bet you have already felt the imminent approach of the New Year, since tons of themed TV advertisements and smart shop windows inviting for Christmas sales will hardly let us forget about the pre-New Year's bustle. Surely you have already thought about and, and, of course, about gifts to friends and family! In order for the gifts to be remembered by your loved ones for a long time and become a joyful long-awaited surprise, I recommend that you take care of beautiful packaging in advance. Of course, you can turn to a specialist, but the beautiful decoration of gifts is not cheap, and even hand-made packaging, even if not quite perfect, is a great way to express love and show attention.
The usual shiny brown paper has long looked old-fashioned and uninteresting. It looks cheap and not so easy to use. A great alternative is the simplest rough kraft paper you can buy at a stationery store. It is dense, eco-friendly, neutral - the perfect base for any festive decor.
Ribbons, pieces of lace, bright threads, buttons, lace napkins, Christmas tree decorations, sequins and feathers - you can use whatever you can find at hand!
The combination of brown paper and satin ribbons looks very elegant and sophisticated.
Kraft paper, scraps of colorful fabric, a piece of twine and a little imagination - the original designer packaging is ready.
If you wish, you can make postcards yourself by cutting them out of beautiful paper or cardboard and attaching them to the gift:
Cones, spruce or thuja twigs will look very festive and original on the packaging.
Where to pick thuja twigs? I will not advise pinching off the nearest fence ... Although it is also an option. Let it remain on my conscience \u003d) You can buy a small potted thuja - it will perfectly fit into the New Year's interior of your home.
If you paint the paper yourself or write New Year's wishes on it, the author's wrapping paper will be released at minimal cost:
A very simple and beautiful way to decorate New Year's gifts is snowflakes cut from white or colored paper:
Another great idea is to use family photos when wrapping gifts. Collective family - for a gift to mutual friends, separate photos - to indicate the addressee.
With no funds and imagination, you can even use newspapers as wrapping paper! In my opinion, there is something romantic in this, from childhood: when both roses and sausage were wrapped in a newspaper \u003d)
As you know, a book is the best gift that also needs a beautiful New Year's packaging:
And this method of decorating a gift for the New Year will certainly be appreciated by music lovers and musicians. I am sure that everyone who studied at the music school will have old sheet music with played sketches at home.
If you approach gift wrapping with soul, then even simple notebook sheets will look stylish and unusual:
Another way is to use lace when packing. Perhaps not the most budgetary option, but such a gift design looks simply luxurious!
I am sure that you have found an option to your liking and you can not wait to start packing gifts for the New Year and Christmas! In our blog you can familiarize yourself with detailed master classes and DIY creation.
I wish you that all the pre-New Year's chores are extremely pleasant, and the result will win the hearts of your loved ones and friends!
The New Year is already very close, which means that you have already bought or are choosing gifts for your relatives with might and main. In any case, it's time to talk about how to beautifully pack a New Year's gift with your own hands. New Year is the most magical holiday of the year, therefore, appropriate packaging for New Year's gifts is needed.
Simple packaging methods
Let's start with the simplest options for decorating and packing a gift with your own hands. The easiest one is to buy Christmas-themed wrapping paper and ribbons or threads. Wrap paper boxes and tie nice bows or make wool pom poms. If there is no suitable wrapper: print trees, snowflakes, etc.
By the way, printing is easy to do at home with your own hands without money. You need to take a large potato, cut it in half and cut a figure of the required shape on the cut of one of the halves. Then just dip the shape in the paint of the desired color and apply the prints. Or in glue, the print of which must then be sprinkled with sparkles.
Packaging for children
Let's not forget that New Year is a family holiday. Therefore, those who have children should definitely pack a gift for a child in a special way.
In addition, you can involve children in decorating gifts. Of course, there is no need to show gifts to each other. Well, if you are preparing a gift from Santa Claus, then, of course, it is better to pack it separately. But the joint packing of "family" gifts can be made a small family tradition. For children, you can print different New Year's figures: they will surely like to cut them out and glue or decorate them. In general, we are looking at a few photos of ideas on how to easily pack gifts with children.
In addition to paper figures, you can use a plastic plate, felt, ribbons and buttons as an option. Make, for example, a snowman's face - it turns out original.
Or cut strips of different sizes, color them to your liking and glue them in the form of a Christmas tree.
A box decorated with a double paper herringbone looks no worse.
Or you can make an interesting cardboard Christmas tree: you just need to cut out a cardboard isosceles triangle, which is glued over with threads.
In addition, you can use tubes to decorate the box: make snowflakes out of them or, again, Christmas trees. In addition to them, you can decorate the box with some kind of flat toy.
Or create fabric decorations: Christmas balls, etc.
True hostesses can pre-bake cookies, which are then used when wrapping a gift.
In addition, you can wrap the box in plain paper and paint it with contrasting markers.
Plus, your kids will love the idea of \u200b\u200bdecorating the box in a Santa Claus or Santa style.
Original packaging
Those who have a lot of time, good mood and an irresistible desire to create masterpieces. You can safely start creating original packaging. And let our collection serve as an inspiration. A spectacular box will turn out if you don't just tie a ribbon over the wrapping paper, but add spruce twigs, snowflakes and dried oranges to it.
Or use twigs with glued foam balls, which are glued over with sparkles.
Cinnamon sticks. In addition, you can not only tie jewelry to the ribbon, but also glue them side by side. So you can tie cinnamon sticks in a bow, and glue artificial fruits and a bird next to it.
Ordinary Christmas balls also look beautiful. Moreover, they can be fixed in different ways: strung on the main ribbon, tied to it with contrasting threads, or simply glued to the box.
You can work hard and create a difficult bow, but an unusual composition, using different ribbons and fabrics. In the center, again, glue the Christmas decoration.
Jewelry does not have to be bought in the store, you can make them yourself. Use paper, tape, etc.
Or make a beautiful snowflake out of ordinary clothespins, paint it in a suitable color and decorate its box.
You will get a magical package if you put a transparent lace bag made of fabric or paper over the wrapping paper.
In addition, colored feathers can be placed under the transparent wrapper - an unusual package comes out.
An equally magical gift will turn out if you use a grid in addition to ribbons.
Or here is such an original idea: a "spruce" gift. Just cut small twigs and carefully glue the whole box with them, wrap this beauty with ribbon on top and tie a bow.
A masterpiece is also obtained from a simple twine: wrap a gift tightly with it and tie a couple of balls with a spruce twig. In my opinion, the result is brilliant.
You can beautifully wrap a gift in paper with your family photos printed on it. It turns out not just a beautiful Christmas box, but a gift that carries a particle of your family happiness, warmth and just good memories.
If there is nowhere to print a photo poster of this format, you can simply glue small photographs or even print photographs and cut cards out of them.
By the way, a few words about cards: you can make beautiful mini postcards from the same paper that the box is wrapped in.
Or, using neutral wrapping paper for the box, you can work on an unusual New Year's card.
Another option for "warm" packaging: an old sweater.
In general, of course, as they say, the main thing is not a gift, and certainly not its packaging, you can decorate the box to a minimum.
Or make a bag of ordinary wallpaper or even wrap the box in a regular newspaper and just give a gift from the heart, I don't think that such a box will cause negative emotions in someone.
Remember, the main thing is not a gift, but attention. New Year mood and a happy new year!
