• cardboard roll from toilet paper;
• scissors;
• lace;
• corrugated paper;
• glue;
• tapes;
• sparkles.
Place the cardboard cylinder on the corrugated paper and wrap it up a few turns. Bend one tip like a candy bar and tie it with tape. From the open side, fill the "Candy" with gift content. Tie the other end in the same way. Decorate the packaging with lace and sequins.
Gift wrapping decorated with paper feathers
Plain paper packaging can be decorated with feathers. You can make feathers with your own hands by cutting them out of paper. To create feathers you will need:
• scissors;
• any colored paper (texture can be any, if you wish, you can even take a newspaper);
• a simple pencil.
For a gift:
• wrapping;
• tapes.
Take colored paper and draw sketches of feathers on the back with a pencil. You can take some cardboard, draw some feathers, cut out a template and use it to create further feathers. For more realism, make the feathers slightly different sizes. Make several cuts on each. Tie the finished feathers with a ribbon to your gift.
Hand made packaging
If you don't have wrapping paper on hand, plain paper bags can help you. You will need:
• paper bag for the size of the gift;
• kraft paper;
• glue
• iron;
• scissors;
• openwork paper napkins.
Cut a sheet out of kraft paper so that it covers all the inscriptions on the package. If the package is completely monochromatic and without inscriptions, cut the sheet slightly smaller in width and length than the package. Squeeze a sheet of kraft paper into a lump to form creases. Smooth it out gently with an iron and burn it around the edges with a lighter. Stick the sheet to the bag. Use an openwork napkin for decoration. You can pick up a small label for it. Glue the napkin with the label to the center of the bag.
