A universal selection of gift ideas for every occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Friends, hello everyone! Today I will write about how to pack a gift easily and why you should not always take a hard box for decoration.

Gift ideas are, of course, wonderful, but after all, a present must be presented correctly, beautifully, elegantly. Well, other adjectives. And without beautiful packaging it is difficult to do.

Therefore, today I will show you some original packaging methods that will not take much time.

How to wrap a gift in gift paper: step by step instructions

It is not difficult to make packaging with your own hands, even without a box, which has already become a traditional symbol of almost any holiday.

There are several options here:

1 Just wrap the present with wrapping paper. The master class below describes this process in sufficient detail. I often use it myself, it works great)

For this method, you will need to cut out a piece of paper that is wide and tall enough to wrap the gift. Usually for this it is enough to multiply the width and height of the surprise by 2, add the side parts if the present is not flat and leave a small margin for hem. Then you need to wrap the gift according to the instructions below.

It is best to pack in this way:

book,
neatly folded T-shirt
towel,
picture,
telephone.

Due to the fact that you yourself set the shape with the help of wrapping paper, even a soft rag surprise can be decorated in this way.

2 Origami. It turns out very original and at the same time you can even do without a box. All you need is a sheet of paper and a little patience (well, a ruler with scissors will also come in handy).

Such a light paper box is good to make from the so-called kraft paper, which has an interesting property to give any creation something stylish. Try to apply it too. You can’t put a big gift in such a box, but a small souvenir will look very cool here.

3 There is another object that is not at all easy to approach - a round or oval shape. In fact, everything here is easy to do yourself - take a square of the wrapper, put the box in the center and ... collect the excess in a bundle.

We use corrugated paper

What is the advantage of corrugated paper? It is in her corrugation. Such a wrapper can be expanded where necessary, and given the desired shape. And for some of the methods described above, such paper is also suitable.

It would be ideal to wrap it in:

bottle,
watch,
plate,
handle,
mug.

Thanks to the structure of the paper, it will be very easy to wrap a bottle. You will need the top and bottom piece, which you need to wrap first the top of the bottle, and then the bottom. To make it all look harmonious, tie the bottle with a thin ribbon and mask the junction with decorative ornaments.

For round gifts, everything is quite simple - you just need to cut off a piece of paper that covers the side of the surprise around the perimeter. The lower and upper parts will need to be assembled and decorated at the junction.

Another simple method that works for just about any small to medium sized gift is candy wrapping. With such a task, you can really do it yourself in a few minutes.

Presenting a present in a box

Boxes come in different shapes. Rectangular, oval, triangular - this is just the tip of the packaging iceberg, the variety of shapes is much greater.

Let's start with the traditional shape, which is not at all difficult to create from thick cardboard.

If you are preparing for an important holiday, then the gift box should be decorated. This can be done, for example, as described below. A great way to congratulate a man by wrapping, say, a shirt in such a box.

To make your gift memorable for a long time, I suggest using the previously mentioned discs. But this time you need not a wrapper from them, but they themselves. Circle the disk as shown in the photo, then cut and fold the edges.

For a larger box, you can use plates, pans and much more.

And here is the presentation packaging in video format:

That's all! We have come to the end of the article on how to wrap a gift. I think you have found something suitable for you. Or maybe I didn't say something? Then write about it in the comments.

See you!

My mom's birthday is this Sunday, and then next week it's my sister's and a close friend's. And this is only in September! For example, I really like to give gifts, but every time I try to do it in such a way that they bring maximum joy to the hero of the occasion.

This is where packaging plays an important role. It's always nice to receive gifts. And the gift, exquisitely and ingeniously packaged, will be doubly delighted.

Down with templates! Why not replace the ribbon bows with these gorgeous butterflies?
No wonder they say that the most pleasant word for a person is his name. So why not personalize the gift wrapping?
This is exactly the case when the packaging performs not only an aesthetic function, but also helps to understand where is whose gift. For example, on New Year's Eve, when there are surprises for each of the family members under the tree.
For such a design, you again need kraft paper and several sheets of colored cardboard. Simply cut out hearts from cardboard and secure them to the gift with a knitting thread.
And I'll probably take this idea into service.

Polysilk

Many people do not know what polysilk is. However, everyone not only saw this paper, but even held it in their hands and felt it. However, if you ask someone what polysilk is, no one can give an intelligible answer.

Polysilk is more often used for packaging non-standard gifts that are problematic to pack in a box. The polylist is intended to knit decorative knots. It looks like a wide film. Stretches a little. In addition to the fact that polysilk is used to knit decorative knots on gift wraps, it is often used by stylists and designers.

Kraft is paper that has ribbed shape and transverse embossing. It is sold in large rolls. In addition to wedding gifts, others are also wrapped in it. That is, it cannot be said that only wedding gifts are packed in craft.

Sheet glossy paper is used exclusively for gift wrapping. In other words, it was invented precisely in order to wrap gifts.

To solve such a problem, it is necessary have the right supplies, namely:

gift paper itself;
a container in which you can pack a gift;
filler to give volume;
decorative details for decorating gift wrapping.

If you don’t want to bother with gift paper, bows, knots, various ruffles and other decorative elements, then you can, of course, buy a filler and a ready-made gift box of suitable sizes, pack a gift in it and forget about it. But it's much nicer to do it yourself. After all, gift wrapping with your own hands is a creative matter. And who among us has not felt at least sometimes a creator?

If you wrap a gift item in gift paper with your own hands, then you can pack completely original. Such a gift will turn out to be original and, one might even say, exclusive. This gift will not be like the others.

It must be added that the filler for giving volume or just for beauty can also be chosen from many types of filler.

From the types of filler the following types can be distinguished:

In conclusion, it must be said that it is more pleasant to give gifts wrapped in gift paper with your own hands. So it will always turn out more beautiful than in a regular gift box. Gift boxes that you can buy in the store are given everywhere and by everyone, but sometimes you want to give something really memorable and original.

Photo gallery

Once I had such questions as how to pack a box in gift paper, so the store helped me solve this issue in a matter of minutes.

Now when I'm invited to a party, I don't bang my head against the wall trying to come up with something original and exclusive. I think it's better to go to the store. There everything will be done in the best possible way.

Ivan Okhlobystin

Yes, you can wrap gift boxes in the store. It turns out well. There, the saleswomen also try to do everything so that the buyer likes it. But sometimes it's nicer to do it yourself.

If you are looking for a container, for example, for a book, then yes, you can pack it in a banal store box. And if this is a complex shape design, then I myself would show my creative abilities and figure out how to make beautiful packaging myself.

Yulia Kraft

I do not agree with your point of view.

I gave a book as a gift. I wanted to make and arrange everything with my own hands. After all, this is quite easy to do. And I don't need any instructions for this. After all, this must be done from the heart, and not according to the instructions.

A friend helped me make beautiful packaging, then helped me paste it with decorative elements, so I then offered her to give this book together. But she refused. And rightly so, she was not invited to the birthday party.

We present gifts to relatives, friends, colleagues for birthdays, New Year, and other holidays. Those who believe that content is more important than form think that it is quite possible to do without a beautiful wrapper. Candy in candy wrapper and without is equally delicious! However, even a very serious and respectable person will be sincerely delighted with an exquisitely and ingeniously packaged gift.

The most popular "container" for him, like hundreds of years ago, remains paper. Let's see how to wrap a gift in paper.

Paper, which did not dream of the ancient Chinese

The choice of paper is enormous. The stores offer wrapping paper thin and durable, glossy and matte, corrugated and embossed.

Sheet glossy paper

The most convenient for our purpose. It comes in a variety of colors and patterns.

craft

Kraft is designed specifically for gift wrapping. This type of paper is slightly ribbed to the touch, with transverse embossing. Produced in rolls of ten meters in length.

Silence

Silence is thin, light, airy. Therefore, it is also used as a filler. Objects of complex shape are wrapped in silence, which this type of container fits elegantly and in relief.

Polysilk

Irregularly shaped gifts are often also packaged in polysilk. From it create large decorative bows. It resembles a dense film, stretches a little. For these not quite paper properties, polysilk is loved by designers and stylists.

corrugated paper

Monochromatic rough corrugated paper is familiar to everyone as an element of packaging of flower bouquets. It is often used to decorate souvenir bottles and other narrow elongated gifts packed in boxes and tubes.

mulberry

Mulberry is a type of handmade paper made in Thailand. The color range is extensive. Often has a pattern or ornament, sometimes - inserts of floristic materials (dried flowers, fragments of stems, leaves).

These varieties of wrapping paper do not exhaust the entire selection. There is also mother-of-pearl, silk, crinkled, embossed, gel ... The inventors of paper, the ancient Chinese, never dreamed of such a thing!

Packing square or rectangular box

First, let's learn how to properly pack a gift with our own hands, if it is in a square or rectangular box.

We will need:

packaging paper
ribbons, cords for decoration
tape measure or centimeter
scissors
adhesive tape (preferably double-sided - the ordinary one will be too noticeable, and it remains to be seen whether it can be carefully disguised enough).

We pack a box of round or oval shape

Let's figure out how to wrap a round gift. Hats, tea or coffee sets, sweets, cookies, tea are sold in a round or oval box. Not every professional packer will cope with a box of this shape, so again, practice first on junk paper.

We measure the height of the box. Cut a strip of gift paper 2-3 cm wider. We glue the box around with this strip, not forgetting to tuck 1 cm under the bottom, 1-2 cm inside. Remove the lid, of course. Cut out a circle or oval from wrapping paper a little smaller than the bottom. We glue the bottom of the box so that the folded allowance is not visible.

With a lid, it's the other way around. Cut a slightly larger circle or oval, glue it and the allowance on the sides, laying neat folds. We cut out a paper strip 1 cm wider than the height of the lid. We glue it flush with the top of the lid, tuck the protruding allowance inward.

Here is another master class in pictures using corrugated paper

Finishing touch - box design

We figured out how to properly pack a gift in paper. Now you need to decorate it in an original way. Let's look at a few ideas.

The box can be tied with a ribbon or ribbon. No, it's too banal. And if with several ribbons or ribbons of different colors and textures?

If you chose plain, unpatterned wrapping paper, drag the box with a thin thread or ribbon and attach a flower or bow on top. This bright accent will give ordinary paper a special charm.

For a men's gift, more restrained packaging is more suitable. Tiny plastic Christmas tree balls can be tied to the New Year; for the birthday - small bows or other decorative ornaments. Anyone can do it in an hour, it will look spectacular!

It is better to put a children's gift in a bright textile bag or arrange it in the form of a large candy. Kids love to extract all sorts of interesting surprises from packages.

Souvenir shops sell ready-made packing boxes. If your gift is oversized, look there: what if you guess by the size?

In general, it is useful to go shopping in search of fresh ideas on how to advantageously complement gift wrapping. Among various cute little things, you can sometimes find something that is useful to you. Brightly colored natural bird feathers or miniature butterfly brooches, for example. And you can delve into home stocks and find original ribbons, decorative laces, miniature souvenirs that are enough to stick on a gift box. For those who know how to crochet, making a round flower is a matter of minutes, and glued together with ribbons to the package, it will look like a designer exclusive.

Slow down your imagination, and your efforts and experiments on how to pack a gift will not be in vain, but will be appreciated.
