It is worth turning on your imagination when decorating a gift, or follow our advice to dress it in an original holiday wrapper. Delight and joy from such a surprise will be provided!

The holiday is coming

Ahead of everyone are waiting for unforgettable winter days, which are shrouded in magic. Everyone prepares gifts for friends in advance and, of course, they dream of receiving the treasured package or box as a gift. In order for the gift to be “out of place”, it is worth knowing in advance what this or that person would like to receive, but it is advisable not to ask directly. It is much more pleasant to receive a present that was really needed, but that it was unexpected.

Choosing a gift is not an easy task, but when the present has already been chosen, it should be beautifully packaged. Of course, you can buy a regular package with New Year's paraphernalia, sign postcards or wrap a gift in beautiful paper. But it is unlikely that such packaging will be remembered by anyone. If it is non-standard, it will immediately attract attention and highlight this present among other gifts.

Gifts for children

New Year is a holiday shrouded in mystery, at this time most wishes come true. Children especially enjoy this holiday. For a child, you can come up with an unusual decoration made by yourself. Nothing will please the baby like a new toy, and if it is beautifully wrapped, it will be an additional surprise for the child. Morning will come a little, parents will immediately hear children's steps - this is a baby looking for his gift near the Christmas tree.

If there are several children in the family, it is worth wrapping gifts in bright boxes or bags., and write an explanation for each package to whom the gift is intended. You can make it very unusual and original, for example, stick a photo of its future owner to the package. It is also advisable to attach explanatory tags to the box or other packaging.

The kids will also be pleased with a small quest with the search for a gift. To do this, you can draw arrows on the leaves, indicating where to look for a gift and arrange them around the house. In notes, you can also write special tasks, for example, read a poem about the New Year or sing a New Year's song. After all the notes are found, the child finds the treasured gift. The first impression he gets from how the present was packed. Children's gifts should be wrapped in colorful paper and decorated with New Year's paraphernalia.

Making a Christmas present is exciting. It only takes a little time to choose a gift and its packaging to ensure a festive atmosphere and make your friends' eyes shine with happiness.

When wrapping gifts, you can ask for help from children. They will be happy to help in the design and packaging of a surprise for dad, mom, grandma or grandpa. Children can draw pictures for the New Year, cut out snowflakes or make applications. Such work will be interesting for both children and adults.

You can create snow patterns or draw falling snow using an ordinary simple pencil with an elastic on the tip. To do this, the lower part of the pencil with an eraser is dipped in white paint, and then a drawing is applied to the paper. A white snowflake, snowman, or falling snow, drawn in this way, will decorate even the simplest packaging made from ordinary craft paper.

You can make a decoration out of colored paper and cut out voluminous figures in the form of cones or snowflakes. You can complete the decor of the box by wrapping it with a dense bright thread, ribbon or lace. A beautiful bow is tied on the package, any materials are used as a bow, you can even take a flap from an old shirt or dress. In addition, the packaging itself can be not only made of paper, but also of fabric. You can decorate such a gift with additional details. It can be small New Year's toys, dried flowers, acorns. Cinnamon sticks, as well as cones, spruce branches will look very organic.

One has only to turn on the imagination, and in a couple of minutes the festive packaging set is ready. Satin ribbon handles and bright red bows will be a great addition to the set.

Holiday gifts

Even a small gift, such as a box of chocolates or a chocolate bar, should be exquisitely packaged. You can decorate a chocolate bar with New Year's tinsel, a mini-postcard with wishes, or wrap it with serpentine. Such a sweet gift will be remembered, especially if you choose exquisite and expensive chocolate for a present, rather than an ordinary tile.

Small gifts can be wrapped in plain postal paper. Using narrow adhesive tape, you can attach a spruce or pine branch, a rowan branch, or any other branch with an unusual decor to the package.

You can decorate a New Year's surprise using knitted mini boots with wishes. You can knit one or more boots and put funny or unusual notes of congratulations inside. A bright box in which a gift is packed is wrapped with a woolen thread, on which mini-boots are hung with paper clips or small clothespins.

A beautifully wrapped gift is usually liked even before it is unwrapped.

A great idea would be to wrap the gift in canvas bags. A present for friends is placed in such a bag, tied with twine, decorated with New Year's tinsel and placed under the Christmas tree.

To wrap a New Year's gift, you can take both ordinary letter paper and a gift option. A surprise wrapped in paper on which notes or geographical coordinates are drawn looks very original. Such packaging would be appropriate for musicians or travelers.

Original packaging ideas

It is worth considering more ideas for gift wrapping for the New Year. Just a few minutes spent on cutting out the details and as a result, funny hedgehogs are ready for the holiday. Such a surprise will delight the little ones. But you can please your colleagues or clients with presents that are decorated in a stylish and unusual way.

This gift will not go unnoticed and will be properly appreciated. Those with a sweet tooth will be pleased to receive a gift in a package that will fit their favorite sweets or other pleasant little things.

From improvised means, you can build an interesting wrapper for a small present. To do this, you just need to take white paper, wrap a gift, paint it. On paper, you can draw a snowman, and make a hat for him from an ordinary old sock of bright colors. You need to tie a small patch around your neck, and a cheerful snowman is ready. It is difficult to imagine the New Year and Christmas holidays without champagne. A bottle of sparkling wine will be a good present. The bottle can be presented in a gift bag specially designed for it, or you can make your own packaging. You can pack expensive wine or a bottle of champagne in soft paper, which will emphasize the contours of the bottle.

A good option for packing glass containers will be knitted items.

To make a bottle cap:

you should take a knitted sweater that is no longer useful and cut off the sleeves;
further, you need to measure the length of the bottle, transfer its dimensions to the sleeve, mark and add another 7-8 cm;
then, according to the mark, the sleeve is cut off on both sides;
the lower, wider part is sewn up, a bottle is placed inside;
top tied with decorative threads or cord.

The choice of packaging and decor for a travel lover

Small souvenirs for dreamers of travel can be packed in envelopes made from thick cards.

Making a New Year's gift to a music lover

Wrap the gift in sheets of music books and tie it with twine or satin ribbon to impress musicians, composers, or just lovers of musical rhythms.

Notes can be used to decorate kraft paper packaging. Use elements of New Year's symbols: a snowflake, a Christmas tree or Christmas balls to add a festive mood.

Knitted packaging - warm and tender gifts for loved ones

Original gifts for the New Year for large companies

Celebrating the New Year in noisy companies involves a large number of gifts under the tree. In this case, it is not at all difficult to prepare personalized packages with your own hands.

To avoid confusion, gifts can be decorated with photographs of those participants in the holiday to whom they belong. The second option is to cut labels from the photo.

Another option to decorate gifts in an original way is to pack them in dark plain paper and sign them with a white marker. In addition to the name, you can write pleasant wishes and draw funny drawings.

Making a Christmas present for a child

Gift wrapping for a boy can be made in the form of a car by gluing wheels and doors to a box from an old toy car.

It is very symbolic if the packaging hints at the contents of the gift. To do this, you can stick a typewriter or fake pencils on top.

Children especially enjoy bright gift wrapping. Making gift wrapping in the shape of Santa's reindeer is very easy. Cut horns out of paper and glue them on the sides of the package. Make eyes, mouth and nose from pieces of black fur and put on glue.

Postage stamps will help to show creativity in the packaging of New Year's gifts. You will need craft paper, strong braid, and old stamps with postage stamps. In the column "Sender" do not forget to indicate the address of Santa Claus. Children without a doubt will be delighted with such a gift.

Master class: do-it-yourself fabric gift wrapping

Flowing or coarse fabrics, as well as delicate and elegant lace, can be used as packaging for New Year's gifts.

The fabric is great for gift wrapping. It drapes well and takes any shape. For women, neckerchiefs or stoles can be used as packaging, which will complement the gift.

The technique of wrapping gifts in cloth is called furoshiki. You will need a double-sided scarf or piece of fabric. Lay the handkerchief face down on the table. Place a gift in the center and start packing.

Straighten the folds of the fabric and lay out the loose ends nicely.

In this case, the second end of the scarf should be carefully hidden under the knot.

We make New Year's attributes for parcels from improvised means

You can decorate gift wrapping with New Year's symbols: snowflakes, Christmas trees, confetti, Christmas balls, cones.

Snowflakes and natural materials in packaging design

Classic Christmas decorations - paper snowflakes. Choose a contrasting paper color to make it stand out on the packaging. The snowflake can be glued or tied with twine to the package.

You can also make a snowflake for packaging decoration from improvised materials. It can be cocktail tubes (as in the photo), wire with beads, threads.

The packaging with natural elements looks original and harmonious: cones, sprigs of spruce, small brushwood. Wrap the gift with kraft paper, tie it with braid, and instead of a bow, fasten a few cones and a spruce or thuja twig with a glue gun. You can add a bright accent - rowan berries made from red beads.

From fir cones, you can make a whole bouquet and an imitation of a dressing tape. Just glue the appropriate size cones in the correct order.

When making gift wrapping, you can use Christmas balls. Choose toys of several colors that are suitable in size and fix them with a glue gun on the box. New Year's mood will be provided.

We decorate a New Year's gift with ribbons, threads and buttons

Nondescript kraft paper gift wrapping can be turned into a real work of art. This will require a little imagination and improvised means - threads, ribbons, buttons.

Decorate New Year's gifts with threads and ribbons of different colors and textures. A beautiful binding in the center will make the composition bright and original.

On the package, you can combine several decorative elements. Use braid, threads, beads, buttons. This packaging looks very extravagant.

To create gift wrapping, you can use multi-colored buttons that every housewife can find. Sew them onto a ribbon and tie a gift - the original and colorful packaging is ready.

Use bright large buttons as an original bandage fixer on the package.

To create elegant packages, you can use lace ribbons and napkins. Arrange them as you wish and secure with a glue gun.

Gift tags - an additional element of surprise design

Labels will become a colorful addition to gift wrapping. In the classic version, they are made of cardboard and wishes are written on them. But there are also more original ideas.

Salt dough is made from flour, salt (1 cup each), sunflower oil (5 tablespoons), water and dyes. After mixing all the dry ingredients and oil, add water to make the dough elastic.

The finished dough is rolled out and cut out with cookie cutters. To obtain a relief, the products are pressed against a patterned surface, for example, a lace napkin.

Cookie labels look no less original. It is baked from gingerbread dough and decorated with protein cream.
