A great gift for tea lovers. “Tea connoisseurs don’t drink sawdust from tea bags!” - you say. But who’s stopping you from packaging good, expensive tea in envelopes?

You will need:

• a cone made of foam plastic or thick cardboard;
• round cardboard box and rice for stump;
• tea packed in small paper bags (the quantity depends on the height and diameter of the cone);
• glue gun;
• star, bows and other decorations of your choice.

Cover the cone with tea bags, applying glue to the top of them. Move from bottom to top in a checkerboard pattern. It is better to use bags of contrasting colors: the tree will look more elegant.

Glue the lid of the cardboard box to the bottom of the cone. Fill the box itself with rice to make the tree more stable, and then attach it to the lid. If you don’t have a ready-made box of the required diameter at hand, make it yourself. Take a tube from a roll of paper towels as a basis or glue it from cardboard according to this pattern.

Decorate the tree with bows, rhinestones and other decorative elements, and glue a star to the top of the head.

Girls will highly appreciate such a gift. After all, this is an individual scent; no one in the city will have such a perfume.

Before you create, find out what smells the one you want to please prefers. For example, if a girl likes citrus scents, she will need lemon or orange. To add woody notes, you need sandalwood or cedar oils, powdery ones - roses or vanilla.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup almond butter;
• ½ cup grape oil;
• 100 g beeswax;
• 1 teaspoon vitamin E;
• 60 drops of lemon oil;
• 25 drops of eucalyptus oil;
• 20 drops of lavender oil;
• 20 drops rosemary oil.

Mix almond and grape oils with wax in a separate saucepan and place in a steam bath. When the wax is completely dissolved, let the liquid cool slightly and add essential oils and vitamin E. Pour the future perfume into molds. A bottle of old hygienic lipstick, a jar of Vaseline, etc. will do.

Once the wax has hardened, the perfume is ready to use. All that remains is to package them beautifully.

A great gift for freezing girls. A pair of warm, fairly sturdy socks that you don't wear can be turned into fingerless gloves.

Additional materials:

• needle with thread;
• heart cut out of felt.

Trim and sew the sock as shown in the photos. Be sure to hem the edge to prevent fraying, and make all seams from the inside out.

Sew a felt heart on top. You can use any other decorative means. For example, embroider the inscription “Happy New Year!” or embroider mitts with rhinestones.

Another DIY gift for those who are always cold is. By heating it for 1-3 minutes in the microwave, you will get a great heating pad that also smells nice.

Paracord is a cord made of nylon. Initially used as a material for parachute lines, but then paracord began to be used wherever a lightweight and durable cable might be needed. For example, stylish men's bracelets are woven from it. In ordinary life it is just a decoration, in an extreme situation it is a life-saving rope.

There are various techniques for weaving paracord. Here is one of the most common.

You will need:

• 150 cm of paracord of one color and the same amount of another (it is desirable that the shades be contrasting);
• 75 cm of black paracord;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• needle and thread.

You can not only drink from such a mug. You can leave messages on it for your household or just draw.

Materials:

• white porcelain mug without relief;
• slate paint;
• masking tape;
• brush.

Chalkboard paint is most often used to renew the surfaces of school boards. Now there is a large selection of such paints. You need one that can work on ceramics. For example, like this one.

Choose an area of ​​the mug that is comfortable to write on, but that will not come into contact with your lips when drinking. Cover the rest of the mug with masking tape.

Degrease the untaped area and apply paint to it in a thick layer. Remove the tape and leave the mug in a well-ventilated area for a day.

When the paint is dry, place the mug in an oven preheated to 150°C. After 30 minutes, turn off the stove, but remove the mug when it has cooled.

If you are one of those who like to give experiences rather than material things, you will love this idea. After all, it’s not only a delicious warming drink, but also a reason to go or invite you to visit.

Take some pretty glass jars and fill them about a third full with hot chocolate or cocoa powder. Add a few candies or pieces of chocolate. Fill the remaining space with marshmallows.

Decorate the jars to your liking. For example, place a piece of fabric under the lid and attach a heart made from candy canes to the top. The label can serve as a postcard; write your wishes on it.

Another variation of this gift is a set for mulled wine. Take an orange, an apple, a clove and a cinnamon stick. Pack it all beautifully, make a label with your wishes and add a bottle of good red wine.

Candles are a traditional New Year's gift. But glamorous store-bought ones are one thing, a personalized candle or a candle with a phrase understandable only to the giver and recipient, or even with a photograph, is another.

Take:

• white candles with a diameter of 5–7 cm;
• A4 size printing paper;
• parchment paper;
• scissors;
• glue stick;

Trim the parchment paper so that it is 1-2 cm wider than the A4 sheet. Glue the parchment to the printing paper, turning the edges over to the other side. Insert the sheet into the printer with the glossy side, that is, the side where the parchment is. Print out the image you would like to place on the candle.

The drawing will appear on parchment paper. Now you need to transfer it to a candle. Cut out the image, attach it to the candle, wrap it tightly with another layer of parchment on top and direct a stream of hot air onto the resulting structure. If the picture becomes lighter, it means it was imprinted on the candle. Carefully remove the top layer of parchment and let the wax harden.

The gift is ready! If desired, you can decorate it with rhinestones or sparkles.

Decor:
1. Wrap each piece of cake with ribbon, after ironing it, gluing it together so that it holds better. Let's make a small bow at the back of the piece by first cutting the edges of the ribbon diagonally and burning it with a lighter.
2. Decorate the middle: cut out a triangle from colored paper and glue it to the beginning of the cake.
3. Making a candle:
A) base: cut out two strips of cardboard, 16 cm each. Next, apply a small amount of glue to the tip of any strip. Attach a second one on top. You should end up with a corner like this. Now we bend the bottom strip up. We press the fold line, we align all the corners. Then we bend the second strip, and then the first one again, etc. Soon you will have a spring like this
B) Flame: Let's create a tongue of flame from orange paper. To do this, we will sketch the fire on the segment. Carefully cut out the workpiece along the contour line and bend its lower part. Cut out the middle of the flame from yellow paper and glue it on both sides. Apply glue to the tip of the fire and attach it to exactly the same workpiece. We make 11 more candles in the same way.
4. Making flowers for a candle:
Using the template, we cut out the flowers and twist the petals with scissors. We do the same with the petals. We assemble the composition by gluing the candle and petals to the flower, and then to the cake.

Show me a person who doesn't like gifts? And, of course, many people like to give them. But often the process of finding a suitable gift turns into real hell, especially if you need a lot of them at once, as is usually the case two or three days before the New Year. Money is running short, there is only consumer goods left on the shelves, and it is unknown what to give to a second cousin who has suddenly appeared!

What a pity that the times when a book was a universal gift have sunk into oblivion (today almost everyone has both a tablet and an e-reader). And I don’t want to give something trivial that will be immediately passed on or thrown away as unnecessary. Thinking about all of the above, I discovered that there are at least 25 gifts that you can easily make yourself, moreover, without spending much money, using mainly scrap materials.

1. Soft toys and sofa cushions

Kids will never turn down a big soft toy, and neither will most adults. And sewing any funny face is not as difficult as it might seem at first. Don’t throw away old clothes, bright children’s socks, scraps, buttons, beads and you will always have the right material at hand. You can stuff the toy with holofiber specially purchased for this occasion, or you can use the same shreds or padding polyester. Make the pattern yourself, or find a simple master class on the Internet. Don’t be afraid of the difficulties, the Internet is simply replete with the easiest video tutorials on any type of needlework! Even a child can sew a pillow with their help!

2.New Year's wreath

An ideal New Year's gift for a friend, mother, sister or colleague. Everything related to decor that is done with taste and a sense of style will be appreciated! Such a traditional wreath, hung above the door or decorating a table, will become a bright accent in the festive interior.

One of the simplest master classes...

Take an unnecessary aluminum trample, use pliers to straighten it until it takes the shape of a circle (this is not difficult to do by hand, even without using other tools). String Christmas balls of different sizes and different colors onto the wire (pre-lubricate the places where they touch each other with glue so that your wreath holds the desired shape) until you fill the entire space. The colorful wreath is ready!

Anything can serve as material for a New Year's and Christmas wreath - from clothespins to foil! Imagine!

3. DIY vintage painting

Using a cutout from gloss and canvas, you can make an unusual and stylish gift in a couple of hours, which will suit your girlfriend, your beloved, your second cousin, your hairdresser Zoya, and your English teacher. Cut out a beautiful photo or drawing from a magazine, paste it onto the canvas with the design “down” (you will get a “mirror” reflection) and leave the painting until completely dry. Then take a spray bottle, a sponge and begin to gently remove the top layer (see photo), splashing water on the canvas and wiping it with a sponge until the picture appears. The paper will be removed in fibers - they must be removed immediately and excess water removed. When the painting is completely dry, you can rub it a little with a dry abrasive sponge to give it a worn, vintage look, so to speak. Now you can open it with varnish.

4.Handmade soap

Soap is a unique gift. Everyone uses soap. Moreover, if it is made by hand with the addition of oils and herbs... Mmm... The easiest way to make it: grate a bar of baby soap and heat it in a water bath with 2 tsp. olive oil. Then add 100 g of water and cook everything until smooth, stirring occasionally. As you go, add (optional): finely chopped herbs, dried fruits, ground coffee, dyes. Add essential oils last and immediately remove your brew from the heat! Grease your soap molds with oil and you are ready to pour your soap! A couple of hours in a cold place and your unique handmade gift is ready. To remove the product from the molds, you need to turn them upside down and tap lightly. If you have any difficulties, hold the molds over the fire for a while - the soap will melt and slide out easily. You can also freeze it in the refrigerator for a few hours and try to pull it out again.

8.Birthday calendar for the most forgetful friend

What do you think about the idea of ​​a calendar where the birthdays and anniversaries of all your relatives and friends will be entered? I think this is cool, especially if among your friends there is someone who consistently forgets these dates! Include additional cells in the kit for such a very useful thing, in case new dates appear, and the calendar will serve its owner for a very, very long time!

9.Original postcard

Don't forget about postcards! A large, beautiful postcard with a “zest” can become either a full-fledged gift or an addition to the main present.

10. Gift for a needlewoman

Is your friend interested in sewing? Is your mom always making something? Give them a beautiful pincushion! Such things are sewn quite simply, but the needlewomen themselves always have little time for themselves. What can you say, a shoemaker without boots! How to sew .

11. All kinds of decorations

There is never enough decoration! Therefore, you can safely give your friend, mother, mother-in-law, or colleague a hand-made necklace or brooch, but only if you know at least a little about her taste preferences!

12. Towel - robe

Giving just a towel is trivial, but presenting a towel that, if desired, can be transformed into a very comfortable and stylish robe is already something. The secret is simple: buy a large bath towel, a couple of buttons, ruffles and ribbons “to match” and start assembling the “transformer”. Make a couple of loops on the towel at one end in the chest area, and sew buttons on the other (here, of course, you need to know the size of the person for whom you are preparing this gift). You can sew ruffles or ribbons on the bottom and sides. You can also make embroidery, a monogram with initials, or applique on the robe. This gift will be appreciated by many, because this thing is not only beautiful, but also practical - it can be used both at home and on the beach. If you think that this will not be enough, you can buy bright slippers or a set of useful “bath” little things for your robe: bombs, bath foam, body scrubs, essential oils, handmade soap.

13. Bath bombs

Another “bath” gift is homemade “fizzy drinks” filled with aromatic oils and skin-friendly starch. Many people will like this gift.

The simplest recipe for making “bombs”: take 2 cups of soda; a cup of citric acid and the same amount of corn starch (it can be replaced with potato starch or milk powder); 0.5 cups of sea salt; 2 tbsp. any oil (olive, coconut, walnut...); 1-2 tsp. any essential oil; dye as desired.

You can also add herbs, coconut flakes, ground coffee, etc. if desired. The main thing is in moderation, otherwise your bombs may not form well. Now mix starch, citric acid, soda and sea salt. If you use dry dye, use that too. Mix thoroughly to completely remove any lumps. Then mix: base and essential oils, as well as dye (if it is liquid). Shake the mixture to a creamy consistency and mix it with the starch-soda mixture, dripping drop by drop into the center and gradually kneading everything until smooth. If the resulting mass is smooth and does not crumble, you can form bombs; if it does fall apart, sprinkle it with water and knead again.

Molds for bombs can be special molds or any available materials: an ice cream spoon, an “egg” from a Kinder Surprise... Dry the finished products on a napkin until they become hard as a rock and you can start packaging!

14. Sweets

Today, confectionery factories produce a lot of “themed” delicacies for the New Year holidays: snow-covered houses made of ginger or almond cookies, chocolate trees and Snowman figurines, snowflakes - gingerbread cookies... You can do all this yourself if you wish! Moreover, both adults and children will be delighted with such gifts!

15. Beautiful decor for bottles or glasses

An ideal gift option for those who are interested in making homemade wines and liqueurs. In any other case, you can give good wine or cognac, while decorating the bottle with something “New Year and Christmas”.

Before you start decorating the bottle, it is better to remove all labels from it and wash it thoroughly. When it's dry, start decorating. You can use a syringe filled with glue to apply a design on it, and then quickly sprinkle it with semolina and let it dry. The resulting pattern will resemble frost.

The second decor option is decoupage. Apply a good coat of primer (this could be paint or glue) to a clean bottle, then take a regular patterned table napkin and peel off the very top layer. Using a brush and a solution of glue and water (1:1), glue the napkin onto the bottle, smoothing out any irregularities with your fingers. Allow the work to dry completely, then coat it with varnish. You can also further decorate the bottle with sparkles, inscriptions, stamps, etc.

The third option is to decorate with cotton fabric or an elastic bandage. To do this, you need to soak the bandage fabric for a couple of minutes in glue, and then carefully stick it on the bottle, modeling beautiful folds and irregularities. The fabric is applied in one layer, but with the bandage you may need to tinker and put it in two or three layers. When the glue is completely dry, the bottle can be painted or decoupaged. The final stage is opening the finished work with varnish.

You can decorate glasses in the same way: paint them with acrylic paints, decoupage them, make openwork modeling from thermoplastic or polymer clay.

16. Christmas tree decorations

The most popular New Year's gift. There are many beautiful Christmas tree decorations today, but none of them compares to the one you make with your own hands, because it automatically becomes unique. Consider the characteristics of the person to whom you are giving such toys. A musician - decoupage the balls with sheets of music, an architect - glue mini-models from cardboard, loves dancing - fashion ballet shoes out of plastic, is crazy about cars - attach a ribbon to a small Ferrari model...

17. Fun flash drive decor

A flash drive has now become as necessary a thing in our everyday life as a telephone or a comb. Without a flash drive - nowhere. But presenting a friend or relative with just a flash drive is somehow... boring. But giving a photographer a miniature “Canon”, which, if necessary, quickly transforms into an information carrier, is at least funny! How to make a work of art out of an ordinary flash drive? Using polymer clay. But only self-hardening, since the usual one will have to be baked together with the equipment, and this, alas, is deplorable for the latter.

18. Gloves

In such a snowy winter, a pair of gloves will never be superfluous! They, of course, can be knitted, but it’s easier and faster to sew them from an old sweater, a piece of dovetail or thick felt. The scheme is simple - draw a hand on paper or cardboard - a mitten of the desired size and cut it out, adding another 2 cm for the seams. Now take a fabric or an old sweater, apply your stencil to it and trace it twice (the second time in a mirror). All that remains is to cut out both parts of the mitten and sew them together. The rest of the decor is at your discretion.

19. Clothes for your beloved pet

If the person you are looking for a gift for has a cat or dog, a warm “fur coat” for his beloved pet would be a good gift. And if this “fur coat” is made with funny New Year’s prints (with a hood in the shape of a Santa hat or with deer horns) - this is a double plus. You can use unnecessary knitted items, worn-out towels, or any other scraps as material. And to make it easier for you to navigate, here is a basic cutting diagram...

20. Key holder

Maybe I’m the only one whose keys bring a lot of trouble - they tear the linings of my pockets, get lost in the depths of my bag, get confused with the headphones of the player... Maybe. But, if you know another such person, give him a key holder! Believe me, he will be very, very grateful to you!

21. Warm slippers, socks or blanket

In winter, warm clothes become our fetish! We buy gloves en masse, run to supermarkets for duvets, take out bags with extra insoles from the depths of closets... Therefore, everything soft and warm will be an ideal gift for the New Year! If you really want, you can sew a large and warm blanket from fleece, or you can make a more modest gift - socks or slippers.

22. Passport cover

Today, handmade passport covers have become very popular: made of felt, jeans, lace. You can try to sew the same one. Or you can decoupage a regular plastic cover.

23. New Year's bottle decor

A bottle of champagne in a fluffy bright “fur coat” (this could be a costume of Santa, deer, Snow Maiden, snowman or Christmas tree) will be a good gift for lovers of all kinds of New Year’s decorative things. They will drink the champagne, but the fur coat will remain, and it can be used more than once! The simplest cut of such “clothes” looks like mini aprons with ties at the bottom and neck.

24. Socks for gifts

If you are visiting a whole family, then you can give traditional personalized socks as a gift, which hang over the fireplace and into which the caring Grandfather Frost then puts gifts. Sewing them is not difficult, just draw and cut out a stencil of the required size from paper, transfer it to the fabric twice (the second time in a mirror), leaving a couple of centimeters for the seams and sew both blanks, finishing the edges beautifully before doing this. A couple of bright ribbons and Christmas decorations - the socks are ready!

25. Sweet bouquet of candies

A bouquet of sweets that you can easily make with your own hands will be a good gift for any table. Look

Time and money limits do not mean that family and friends will be left without gifts. You won't have to blush on New Year's Eve.

What can you give a woman for New Year?

1. handmade soap or bath bomb;
2. knitted blanket or blanket, socks or sweater;
3. homemade rug;
4. sleep mask;
5. cool pillow;
6. homemade wreath or other home decoration.

Bath bombs in the shape of fruits, cakes, animals. Add a signature tag to each one to make the gift personal.
A stand for gifts for every day can be made in the form of bags of craft paper or in the form of tubes

You can make a stand with boxes and put a small gift in each for each day of the month. If you are celebrating New Year with friends, make your own home decorations:

• glass ball with snow.

Any gift will look cooler if you wrap it yourself. Schemes and step-by-step instructions can be found in the article.

On the left, the gift decoration looks like a dream catcher. Below is a master class. On the right are boxes for gifts for every day in the form of a Christmas tree.
But what an interesting idea with socks for a large family. The boxes must contain numbers; they cannot all be opened on the same day.

Let's start with the simplest gift - a crown for a little girl.

Step 3. Once the paint is dry, sew the crown. All is ready!

It's even easier to make a head decoration.

Option 1. Wreath of decorative twigs

You can make the wreath very thin, or you can put several branches together

Option 2. Festive hoop

How to make a sleep mask?

Turn the mask inside out. It should look like in the photo

Unusual DIY pillow

Fill it tightly (as in photo 2), but evenly with foam rubber

Garland for home made of threads

Choose threads for the garland in the same color scheme, but with different textures. This way the garland will look more interesting.

Homemade cookies for children

Sweets are a universal gift for any occasion. Make cookies or cupcakes in the shape of superheroes, animals, monsters. Make cool ones or . One option is fortune cookies. 2 in 1 gift: guests can find out what awaits them on New Year's Eve.

Guests will eagerly wait until midnight to open their fortune cookies.
Cookies in the shape of monsters - children will be happy
Nutcrackers and Santa Clauses are a good gift idea
Snowmen, cups, snowflakes - any idea will do

Move on to more complex crafts. The first of them is a dream catcher.

Secure the tape at the end. Tie a thread to the headband on one side. The other one - to the smaller ring, as in the next photo



This is how it should turn out

Children's wigwam made from a sheet

We will need wooden slats or bamboo sticks, a drill, scissors, twine and a tape measure.



Place the slats crosswise in the shape of the letter X. Connect them with a block and secure

Backlit letter

Glue the plastic pieces together. The letter must be three-dimensional. It can be painted any color. Sand before painting. Insert a light bulb into each hole on the letter

Glass ball with snow

First think about the composition. We will have a Christmas tree with snow and sparkles.

1. glue the Christmas tree to the inside of the lid;
2. pour glitter and snow into the jar (these can be pieces of foam);
3. pour water and glycerin in equal proportions;
4. Lubricate the threads of the jar well with glue and close it with a lid.

We took an ordinary small jar, inside of which there will be a Christmas tree and snow. In order for the snow to fall smoothly, you will need glycerin and distilled water.

Foot mat

A rug that is placed at the entrance will become a cool gift if you make some interesting or even symbolic inscription. To do this, you only need a stencil and paint.

Take a plain rug made of dense bristles. If it is light, the paint for the lettering will be dark. Prepare your stencil in advance. When the paint is dry, fix the work with varnish

DIY knitted blanket

A blanket or blanket made of very thick threads is a very good gift. It is also suitable for any interior, even if you don’t guess the color. The downside is that the threads are expensive.

Option 1. Blanket made of thick threads without knitting needles

We took 2 skeins for a small blanket Step 1-4 - knitting steps

And don't forget about name tags:

On New Year's Day, children and adults expect surprises, and not only from Santa Claus. There has already been a tradition of exchanging gifts with friends and family. To distinguish yourself with a truly original gift, you can make it yourself. The value of these gizmos lies in their uniqueness and originality. Usually the donor puts part of his soul into his creation.
