The tradition of packaging gifts is not only troublesome, but also very enjoyable. You can beautifully pack gifts not only in specialized stores. Non-standard, creative packaging is quite possible for everyone.
What can I pack a New Year gift?
In that only do not pack New Year's gifts: in the newspaper, in cardboard, in cellophane bags, in sleeves from sweaters, in paper bags from the store. There are a lot of options for packing, but the usual packaging is still in the lead from gift wrapping.
Here are the most popular materials for packaging:
- Gift paper. Beautiful Christmas gingerbread, Santa Claus, deer, small gifts - on New Year's gift paper you can meet the most unexpected patterns, but they will somehow be associated with the upcoming holiday. Without a bow, this gift is rarely handled - a beautiful lush bow creates a complete image "from the picture."
- Paper or plastic gift bag. The New Year theme also appears here in the obligatory image or inscription. Everything is very simple and, despite this, in a New Year's magic.
- Gift boxes. Beautiful boxes, pasted with paper or cloth, are sold in the same shops, where gifts are packed. The coloring of such boxes is not always original, it is difficult to find Christmas boxes, but it is not always necessary. To turn such a box into a New Year's, it's enough just to attach to it a small thematic card.
Original New Year's packing by own hands
What to pack a New Year's gift, depends only on the imagination of the donor. Even newsprint can look stylish. In the course can be cuttings from magazines, old sweaters, pom-poms, lacy napkins, homemade paper snowflakes, beads, sweets, cookies.
How to pack a New Year's gift in the style of "retro"?
Retro style is characterized by lace, aged paper, aged paper, braid, small soft dolls, photographs, knitted napkins.
The newspaper can be aged, gently wet it with cotton buds in strong tea brew (do not grind!) And leave to dry. After packing, the gift can be wrapped with a ribbon of tea color or a lace of cream shade.
Instead of a newspaper, you can use aged paper, or crispy sheets of a brown wrapping wrapper. And under the lace braid put a small hand-sewn doll. Another option is to wrap the gift with paper, and place the openwork napkin on top of the paper so that it covers the area of the paper cover only by three quarters. You can fasten the napkin with braid.
Original packaging of a New Year's gift in the American style
American style is famous candy canes, Santa Clauses, cookies in the form of little men, a bright red wrap, bows cut from different magazines, letters of different sizes and fonts, small wreaths like those decorating a festive table or doors, jeans.
A very chocolate-flavored bar is wrapped in a ribbon or ribbon in a very American way.
How to make a package for New Year's gifts in English style?
England - a fairly restrained and conservative country. But it is not alien to her humor. The monochrome packaging, decorated with a large cardboard mustache (purely English mustache with bent-up tips) will look original.
Also for gift wrapping in the English style, you can use lace and twine, wrapping paper (or simply colored paper) of delicate pastel shades. They write the gifts with a beautiful neat handwriting with a lot of curls.
