The holiday is just around the corner, so we offer you gift wrapping ideas for the New Year 2019.

Every year, the design of the New Year's surprise is far from the last place. Individuality can emphasize the value of the presentation.

Yes, and it is more pleasant to receive a surprise not in store packaging, but in one that has its own “zest”.

Current trends in 2019

Currently, the following areas have gained great popularity in gift wrapping:

  • Eco style;
  • Minimalism;
  • Eclecticism and futurism.

When packaging a holiday gift in an ecological style, natural tools are used - natural shades, different textures and nothing artificial.

Often they use craft paper tied with a bow made of ordinary rope, decorated with natural elements - flowers, cones, fir branches.

Minimalism is rigor and restraint. There should be a single thought - simplicity.

When decorating, a minimum of elements is used, for example, a present is wrapped in an ordinary paper sheet, and a small tag with the name of the recipient acts as a decoration.

Futurism and eclecticism are suitable for those who like to combine several directions at the same time.

It can be a fancy satin ribbon bow and paper decoration, or a fabric box with a small decorative pin.

So, in order for the design of the surprise to be unforgettable and fashionable, you need to apply style and be attentive. The initial result depends on the quality.

Original handmade boxes

The most popular method of presenting a holiday gift is a cardboard box. It's very easy to make it:

  1. You can find a template on the Internet or draw it yourself on a piece of cardboard.
  2. Cut the workpiece and assemble it according to the lines in the diagram.
  3. Glue the box where necessary. It is better to use double-sided tape in work, as it does not leave marks and smudges.
  4. Decorate the box. If decorative stickers are used, it is recommended to apply them before assembly. Dry the box and you can put a surprise.

Such a box can be absolutely any shape, for example, a pyramid or even a candy. Consider the process of making candy. For this you will need:

  • Colored cardboard;
  • Pencil and ruler;
  • Stationery knife;
  • Sample;
  • Glue;
  • Thread.

So, in order:

  1. Transfer the candy stencil onto cardboard.
  2. Cut along the contour lines, make cuts with a clerical knife.
  3. Press hard along the folds with a ruler to make a creasing.
  4. Put a surprise in the center of the workpiece, wrap it.
  5. Tie neat bows at the twisting points.

You can also make a box in the form of a piece of birthday cake. To do this, you need a dense colored canvas or thin cardboard, a ruler, a pencil and glue. You will not spend more than 30 minutes on making.

Transfer the template to the paper of the color you like. Cut blanks, bend along the marked lines. Glue the box, then start decorating.

We wrap beautifully

We know how to make boxes, it remains to learn how to beautifully seal the presentation with our own hands.

You can limit yourself to just a box, or you can make something interesting. The packaging should look neat - all cuts are even without traces of glue (as mentioned earlier, double-sided tape must be used). She must completely hide the surprise. Do not forget about the name card - this is the part of the decor that always catches the eye.

Consecutive packing steps:

  • The box is wrapped in paper and the places where you need to cut are marked. Cut off, leaving a margin of a couple of centimeters.
  • Glue the long edges with tape on both sides.
  • Fold the short edges into a trapezoid and stick on double-sided tape.
  • Do the same on the opposite side.

This is considered a classic wrap, then let's see the packaging in the form of a Christmas tree:

  • Lay the surprise closer to the edge of the paper.
  • We bend the bottom edge of the paper, wrapping the present.
  • Then we bend the sides to the ends.
  • You will get various valves in the form of triangles.
  • They are folded in such a way as if a pigtail is woven.
  • We glue the upper triangle with adhesive tape and decorate the package.
