What is the most important thing on the birthday of every child? Of course, a surprise for the children and the feeling that you get from an unexpected thing. And since in the modern world the choice of gifts and holiday surprises is simply huge, the probability of getting confused and confused is very high. Then we will tell you what kind of surprise to make for a birthday, so that it will be remembered and liked by the hero of the occasion.

From somewhere out there

These ideas came to us relatively recently, but are already firmly rooted in the minds: the most best gift The one you don't even expect to get. Usually such surprises are packed in beautiful bags and boxes, but modern world found a better solution.

Let's take a look at the classic piñata - when the child's goal is to destroy the outer shell of a suspended toy and extract its insides. It is often filled with sweets and various sweets, and sometimes toys mixed with paper filler.

Do-it-yourself surprise ball is easy to create. It has some similarities with this festive accessory, but is still more practical, since there is no need to look for a bat or stick, which can not only get candy, but also harm others. In addition, it can be made very quickly.

How to make a surprise balloon

First you need to prepare everything necessary materials which may be needed later in the process. They can be found in stationery or children's stores at a relatively low price:

• Large It will serve as a kind of "box" for a gift. You can adjust its size yourself, based on a further filler. All balls of this purpose have one important point, which, perhaps, scares the buyer at the time of purchase. This is the color of the ball, in a deflated state, reminiscent of medical gloves or even fingertips. You should not be afraid of this trifle, since with further stretching of the product, its color will be closer to mother-of-pearl or transparent.

• Pump. You can skip this step if you are going to make a small ball. But remember what larger size, the more likely you are to fail without the hand pump. Also, when choosing small balloons for filling, be aware that it is almost impossible to inflate them by hand, and if you try, it will take too much time and effort.
• Little balls. They can be found in large quantities in holiday stores, where the choice is simply unlimited. The larger the main ball, the more small ones you'll need, so it's best to stock up. Also, you can create your own color schemes based on the birthday person's preference.
• How to make a surprise balloon so that when it bursts, everything around sparkles? Add confetti and sparkles to give your gift a personal touch and make it a delight for others.

Warning

Before you make a surprise ball, you should also warn about surprises. We all know that balloons tend to burst loudly, frightening everyone around. And it’s better not to imagine what will happen if one of the balls inside bursts, because of which the rest explode.

To prevent this terrible moment, you need to monitor the degree of tension of the material - in our case, the rubber shell of the ball. If you leave it a little lower, while maintaining strength and rubberiness, then the probability of cotton on the holiday will practically drop to zero. Of course, the quality of the material going to the balls and its properties are very important. Therefore, it is worth choosing only proven manufacturers and not taking risks at a children's celebration.

Process of creation

To facilitate the work, making it understandable even for beginners in this business, all actions will be described step by step:

• First, let's prepare the main ball. To do this, inflate it with a pump, slowly increasing it step by step. After it has been stretched as much as possible, we will leave it in this position for a couple of minutes in order to achieve high material strength. As soon as the time has passed, blow off the balloon and proceed to the next step.
• It's time to add glitter and confetti using a small paper cone to make work easier. We pour all the components inside and proceed to further filling.

• We put one small ball and fix it in the neck of the large one. Gently holding both parts, inflate it to required size. Then we tie the end and push it further into a large ball, completely removing it from the neck.
• Step by step, we fill the base ball with small options, alternating colors and gently mixing with each other. When it is already a little full, the further process becomes more difficult. To make it easier, give the base a little air, and the work will go faster.
• Completely fill the main balloon with air so that all components can move freely in it, tie off the neck, and then shake the product well. This step will ensure a thorough distribution of the filler.

Straight to the holiday

Now that we have learned how to make a surprise balloon, you can go to any celebration and be sure that it will turn out well. After all, it would seem that this is such a simple gift made from ordinary balls. And how much happiness he will give to all participants of the holiday, which is usually expected for a whole year, because, unfortunately, a birthday happens only once a year.

» article Wrap the gift in a unique way! Where we will tell you about how you can pack a gift in an unusual, interesting, exciting and original way. Why are we suddenly talking about gifts? How why! Because soon! And it's time to start preparing gifts - wrap, pack, create ... And we start with gift wrapping.

Wrap your gift in a unique way! After all, a box tied with a ribbon, or paper bag- This is the usual, traditional gift wrapping option. Which, I must say, some could already callous eyes. Or do you want to show off originality in everything. In this case, the packaging of your presentation should also be spectacular. What to put a gift in?

In order to wrap a gift in an unusual way, you can use different ways. So, you can use:

• wrapping a gift in a dirty doormat (very, very, VERY unusual - but not everyone will like it);
• wrap the gift with an ordinary rope, making a ball out of the gift;
• put a gift in a container, and the container in another container, and her in another container ... (though the value of the gift should correspond to the cost of efforts to extract it 🙂)
• also a wonderful option for unusual packaging, for example, a soft toy, is packaging using furoshiki
• wrapping a gift in not only unusual, but also aesthetic packaging - for example, in a balloon.

Agree, these methods are really unusual. And this is not the whole list. However, we will not spray ourselves, and focus on the unusual gift wrapping with the help of furoshiki and with the help of a balloon.

Gift wrapping in a balloon is an original packaging with special effects. Because during the unpacking of the gift, there is a small “boom” with the ensuing (or rather, falling out) consequences.

So, let's start and pack the gift in an unusual way in a ball.

You will need:

1. the gift itself
2. a large transparent balloon that can be labeled "Happy Birthday!" or "Congratulations!"
3. you will also need ribbons, confetti and small balloons - "to heighten the effect."

The first thing to do is to put a gift inside an uninflated large ball. Of course, your gift should fit into a ball and not have sharp corners. So that the gift does not “float alone in space”, you can pour serpentine, confetti, artificial snow into the ball. Or something else, depending on the theme of the holiday.

For example, artificial snow is appropriate if you present a gift for New Year or Christmas. When the ball is pierced, the artificial snow flutters beautifully and falls down. If you give a gift for a wedding, then rice can be poured into the ball, and when the “packaging” is pierced, the newlyweds will be doused with white grains.

If the gift is intended for a child, then you can pour sweets into the ball. If money is used as a gift, then along with it, chocolate coins in gold foil can be poured into the ball. And the rain of gold during the explosion of the ball is provided.

So, when the balloon is full, inflate it.

Next, you need to decorate a gift unusually wrapped in a balloon. That is, we decorate. An inflated balloon can be tied with a ribbon, or you can tie another balloon or several to it. Depending on who the gift is intended for, you can decorate the balloon with a bow or a small children's cap, draw something on the walls of the airy package, or stick something to it.

Everything, the gift is packed, you can go to the celebration!

The second option for unusual gift wrapping is furoshiki.

We have already touched on such a way as furoshiki in the article do-it-yourself furoshiki handbag. A little about furoshiki:

Furoshiki is the same as origami, only not from paper, but from fabric. The word consists of two hieroglyphs - "bath" (furo - Japanese bath), and "stretch" (shiki - a special bath rug that was laid out in the bath and served as a container for "street" things), and literally means "bath rug".

That is, initially furoshiki is a way of wrapping various bath items in a towel 🙂 But now fabric origami is a great opportunity to decorate something decoratively. For example, a gift. And in order to show how it is done, we bring to your attention a few illustrations:

So, wrapping a gift in an unusual way is really easy!

Balloon gift wrapper ZIBI BVK

Description of the design of the packer, instructions for working on the packer, video examples of using the ZIBI BVK packer.

Balloon gift wrapper - model ZIBI BVK - a classic vacuum sealer, manufactured since 1996 by ZIBI Balloon Accessories (Germany - Switzerland). The purpose of the packer is to "shove" balloons and gifts into special translucent "packer" balloons, size 18".

Technical data of the ball packer:

Packer ZIBI BVK in packing:

• overall dimensions: 500 x 500 mm;
• height 250 mm;
• box weight: 2.0 kg.

Delivery set of ZIBI BVK packer:

• packer body;
• hose for connecting the compressor;
• 10 pieces. balls 18" with clamps

Compressor not included.

Assembled packer:

• diameter 460 mm, height 430 mm;
• hose length: 1250 mm;
• neck diameter: 125 mm

Size of the inflated balloon-packer: 410 mm.

Balloons:

• special latex balloons with size 18"
• balls with an enlarged neck (in width);
• balls are transparent, with a multi-sided pattern, silk-screen printing.

Stuffing for a ball-packer

In the simplest case, the balloon-packer is stuffed with 5 "colored balloons and 6" hearts, inflated with air to a size of 10 or 12 cm. For beauty, the tails of the balloons and hearts are cut off. It is quite possible to place 45 pcs in a balloon-packer. 5" balloons inflated to a size of 10 cm. For a good visual effect, 20 - 25 5" balloons are enough. To complete the picture, you can put 2 - 3 pieces in a balloon-packer. balloons for modeling (SHDM 260), inflated to the full length. ShDM is twisted inside the ball-packer with rings.

Most often, balloons and gifts are placed in a balloon-packer: soft toy, boxes with perfumes, with jewelry, sweets. It should be remembered that any boxes and packages must pass freely through a hole with a diameter of 12 cm. And soft toys must be freely compressed to this diameter.

Sometimes you have to pack non-standard items into a ball: dummies of fruits, bottles of alcohol, banknotes (many), etc.

Before wrapping, feel the surface of the gift and make sure that it does not contain burrs, paper clips, staples or other sharp parts that could damage the balloon wrapper.

The design and principle of operation of the packer

The case of the packer is made of transparent plastic and consists of the upper and lower detachable parts. When storing and transporting the packer, the upper part is turned over and lowered into lower part. In the working position, the tightness of the housing is ensured by a seal.

On the upper part of the body there is a neck and two flap valves. The neck of the ball is put on the neck, and the valves release air from the body during the operation of the packer.

The mouth is closed by a transparent cover to which the hose is attached. The other end of the hose has a conical tip that fits the nose of any ZIBI compressor. Unfortunately, the hose end is not suitable for air compressors from other manufacturers.

The principle of operation is as follows.

The ball is put on the neck and closed with a cap located on the hose. The other end of the hose is put on the compressor, and the balloon begins to inflate.

The balloon, which is inflated inside the body of the packer, increases and displaces air from the body of the packer. Air exits the housing through the reed valves.

When the balloon is fully inflated, it fits snugly against the walls of the body so that almost no air remains between the walls of the ball and the body, i.e. It's like a "vacuum" is formed. Therefore, the packer is called a vacuum packer. In fact: there is no vacuum there, but there is air with a pressure less than atmospheric.

The compressor is turned off and the cap is removed from the neck. However, the ball still fits snugly against the walls of the housing. The fact is that the air pressure inside the balloon is greater than the air pressure outside the balloon. The flap valves do not let air into the body of the packer, so the ball can remain in a stretched state for quite a long time.

Through the neck of the packer, small balloons, a soft toy, sweets (optional) are thrust into the ball. The ball can be anything that will pass through the neck with a diameter of 12.5 cm.

As a result, the ball is tied and any petal valve is opened: air enters the space between the ball and the body and the upper part of the body itself is separated from the lower part. A bow is tied to the ball, the ball is placed on a stand.

Preparation for work

The packer must be placed on a clean, flat and level surface with dimensions of at least 1.2 x 1.2 m (preferably on a table) and brought into working position. Make sure that the internal walls of the packer body are free of dust and debris. It is also necessary to check the serviceability of the petal valves.

A ZIBI compressor is located on the table, a hose tip is tightly put on the compressor nose, the compressor is connected to an electrical outlet.

The ball is pulled onto the pins of the neck of the packer, and in a certain sequence (see figure). When all the pins are filled, the neck of the ball is finally filled onto the neck in any order.

It is recommended to stretch the neck of the ball-packer before putting it on the neck of the packer. To do this, the index and middle fingers of both hands are thrust into the inside of the neck of the ball and strongly stretched several times.

Inflating, filling and tying the balloon packer

The neck of the packer is closed with a lid. The lid is tightly pressed to the neck and the compressor is turned on. The balloon is inflated until its walls come into contact with the body of the packer. Then turn off the compressor and remove the cover. The flap valves should immediately close and atmospheric pressure will press the ball against the walls of the housing.

A pre-prepared filling is placed in an inflated balloon: balloons and gifts. Then the neck of the ball is carefully removed from the pins of the neck of the packer.

The fingers of one hand tightly grasp the neck of the ball, and with the other hand open any petal valve. Air enters the housing and the upper part of the housing rises. intercepting the neck of the ball, upper part the bodies are removed from the ball and removed.

If necessary, bleed the air from the ball until it takes the desired shape. Next, the balloon packer is tied in the usual way. Straighten the bow and tie it to the neck of the balloon-packer. If desired, a four or five 5" balloons or 6" hearts can be tied to the neck of the packer's ball.

The world of packaging is as diverse as the world of gifts. With each new season, fresh ideas appear, techniques are improved, techniques are invented, experiments with materials take place.

One of the popular trends recent years - gift wrapping in a balloon naturally airy. Let's make a reservation right away: specialized agencies do this procedure on special equipment. We will consider the possibilities for creating such magical packaging at home.

How to pack a gift in a balloon?

Ball packing technology will largely depend on the size of your gift. But in any case, the whole process can be divided into three stages:

1. Putting a gift in a ball. This is where the most a large number of questions that we will consider below;
2. Immediate balloon filling with air. Everything is more or less clear here: a pump or the strength of one's own lungs for small volumes. The main thing then is to tie the ball as securely as possible so that it does not blow away ahead of time;
3. Decorating an already inflated balloon. It should be noted that they decorate both the inner space in which the gift is located and the outer part. Everything is used: ribbons, sweets, bows, confetti, New Year's tinsel.

Now let's take a closer look at the techniques with which we can pack gifts of different sizes into a ball.

Small gifts in a bowl

In order to pack a small surprise in a ball (box with jewelry, candy, money, theater tickets, etc.), you will need the following items: a large balloon, a plastic bottle, scissors, the gift itself, a pump, ribbons or braid. The sequence of actions when wrapping small gifts in a ball is:

• We take plastic bottle and cut off the upper part in which the neck is located;
• We take a ball and pull its neck onto the neck of a plastic bottle. For very small items, you can take an ordinary bottle, if the gift is a little larger, use a five-liter bottle, the neck of which is much wider;
• Using a plastic bottle as a kind of funnel, we place the prepared gift inside the ball. Adding inside shiny confetti or New Year's tinsel to enhance the festive effect. If you want the gift to be clearly visible, as if “floating” in an inflated ball, tie a fishing line to it, and leave the end of the fishing line outside after the gift falls into the ball;
• Remove the balloon from the neck of the bottle and inflate the balloon with a pump or with the power of your own lungs. If you tied a fishing line to the gift, use it to raise the gift to the desired height. Tie the ball tightly;
• Decorate the resulting package with ribbons, flower arrangements, ready-made textile bows. The gift is wrapped and ready for delivery.

This technology is also useful if you decide to fill the ball with charming little notes. Tie them in the form of small scrolls or simply roll them into tubes, when inflated they will straighten out a little, giving a beautiful volume to the gift.

Useful advice: some advise replacing a plastic bottle with a cardboard tube from toilet paper if you need to create packaging for something more than candy or a paper tube.

How to pack large gifts in a balloon?

If you want more big gift to pack in a ball, then both the technology and the set of necessary equipment will be more difficult.

What you need: A plastic bucket with a cut-out lid into which a piece of plastic pipe is inserted. Keep in mind that there should be two small holes in the lid, closed for the time being (you can use pieces of adhesive tape or adhesive paper for this). Need a big balloon, pump. Stepping back a little from the end of the pump tube, you need to put a plug on it, which you will also have to make yourself. The diameter of the plug should repeat the diameter of the pipe in the lid so that the pump tip descends into the pipe, and the plug tightly closes this entire structure, like a lid.

Sequencing:

• Pull the neck of the ball over the pipe inserted into the lid. Lower the pipe with the ball stretched over it into the container;
• Insert the tip of the pump into the hole so that the plug on the pump closes the pipe like a cap. Inflate the balloon with the pump. Remove the pump.
• In an inflated balloon, put everything that you think is necessary. It can be small balloons inflated in advance, confetti, light fabric. Then place the gift itself. In order to subsequently be able to place this gift at the desired height, use a fishing line;
• Remove the plugs from the holes on the lid of the bucket, and remove the ball from the mouth. Remove the lid with one hand, hold the ball with the other. Continuing to hold the ball, carefully disconnect the ball from the pipe, remove the cap;
• Inflate the balloon with a pump, adjust the height of the gift with a fishing line and tie the balloon;
• Decorate the resulting miracle of packaging technology with ribbons, bows or bundles of balloons. Everything is ready for the ceremony!

Of course, packing in a ball is not the best. simple thing in the world, but with due diligence and training, everything will work out fine! Trust your imagination and create a small miracle.

Want to unusual and original gift wrapping- put it in a balloon! It's funny and involuntarily brings a smile. The only question is there how to wrap a gift in a balloon yourself?

The video shows how to make a big balloon filled with small balloons. Moreover, this can be done without any auxiliary equipment. You will need a large, transparent and dense ball, a pump and many small balls. You can even do without a pump, but it will be difficult to inflate such a number of balloons 🙂 Put a small balloon into a large balloon so that the navel from it remains in your hands. Inflate a small balloon, tie it up and release it into a large balloon. Do the same with the rest of the small balls. Try to keep them the same size.

Packing-balloon

Another simpler one, in my opinion, a method of making a balloon filled with small balloons is to pull the navel of a large ball onto a roll of adhesive tape. You will get a hole into which small balls and even a soft toy will pass. A little tip for a soft toy - tie a thin fishing line to it so long that the toy hangs inside the ball. The tip of the fishing line should stick out outside the ball. When you wake up to tie a ball, pull the fishing line to the desired length. The gift will look more interesting.

We pack in a balloon ourselves

If you are planning to place a large soft toy in the balloon, then watch the video on how to do it. But I want to warn you right away that this is not easy and you need training and technical equipment)

You can even pack a rose inside the ball. Just keep in mind that all the spikes must be carefully cut, make sure that the stem is smooth, if there are bumps, then just in case, remove the bumps with a knife. Wrap the edge of the rose stem in a piece of cloth or wrap it with thin paper so as not to damage the ball. You need to tie the ball very tightly and preferably twice, just in case. The very edge of the rose will stick out of the balloon, and the flower itself will not be able to touch the walls of the balloon.

Option male gift- a bottle of cognac in a blue balloon. You can even pack children's clothes in a balloon. A complete gift for both a joy for a child and a benefit for parents.

If there is no time or desire to fill the ball with large objects, then the ball can be filled with confetti, serpentine, artificial snow, small sweets and even a thin translucent fabric - organza. And the gift will be banknotes placed in a ball. Roll the banknotes into a tube, tie with a ribbon and stick it in a deflated balloon. You can place small things in a balloon with the help of a crow with cutting off the neck of a plastic bottle.

In addition to money balloon you can give tickets to the concert, Jewelry in small boxes, just notes with wishes.

A couple more tips. Make sure that the gift does not have sharp corners.

Buy tight big balls, because if this beauty bursts ahead of time, it will be a pity.

The ball must be transparent. You can buy balloons with congratulatory inscriptions or a discreet pattern. But the main thing in this ball is the content)

Tie the balls tightly. You can even do it twice, with a small distance from each other. Better to be safe.
