Today, handmade gifts are gaining more and more popularity. Such a present has many advantages over shop souvenirs. They are exclusive, individual and made with soul. What exactly to make with your own hands as a gift depends on the reason for which it is being prepared.
Instructions
Step 1
For example, for the birth of a child, an album in which the parents of the baby will post photos and record important events from the life of the baby will be an excellent gift. For the album, you can make a special box with small boxes "Mother's Treasures", where the mother can keep a tag from the hospital, a clothespin from the navel, booties, scratches, a shirt or a slip that she wore on the baby in the first days of life.
Step 2
For colleagues at work, by March 8 or by New Year's holidays, make a "tea house". This is a box decorated in the shape of a house with a slot for tea bags. Put 10-15 sachets of good tea inside. You can glue a pocket for a bar of chocolate or some other sweetness to the "house".
Step 3
If you have a large team, you can limit yourself to a homemade postcard. Place the pockets inside the centerfolds with congratulations. One is for a bar of chocolate, the other is for 3-4 tea bags.
Step 4
Pop dolls will become an original souvenir for colleagues or friends. This is a small amusing toy made using the textile and hosiery technique. It is believed that such a doll brings good luck to its owner. It's hard to say whether this is really so, but she will definitely charge you with a good mood. Learning to work in textile and hosiery technique is not difficult.
Step 5
For an anniversary or an important event, you can make a bar doll using the same textile and hosiery technique. In other words, this is a case in which, for example, a bottle of cognac or wine is placed. Presenting alcohol as a gift is trivial and boring. But the present "hidden" in the original packaging will delight both the hero of the day and his guests. Reflect the hero of the day in the case, or just make it look a little like him.
Step 6
For a beloved man, dad or grandfather, a scarf, sweater or warm socks, knitted with their own hands, will be appropriate for the holiday. Such a gift is unlikely to be superfluous in the wardrobe. Made of soft yarn, pleasant to the touch, it will not only delight and remind you and your love for a person, but also warm him in the cold season.
Step 7
As a present for a housewarming or New Year's Eve, a topiary, a decorative tree for interior decoration, will be an excellent solution. It is also called the “tree of happiness”. What to make it from depends on your imagination. Coffee beans, sweets, satin ribbon flowers, corrugated paper, coins and bills, etc. can be used. It is believed that the "tree of happiness" brings good luck and financial well-being to the house.
Step 8
Very interesting topiary is obtained in the form of spill cups. To make such a souvenir, a couple of tea is taken. With the help of thick wire, the cup is attached over the saucer, and then it is masked with artificial flowers, coffee beans, fruits so that it seems that the cup is hovering over the saucer. There is hardly a person who will remain indifferent to such a gift.
Step 9
There are people who are skeptical about handmade gifts, believing that it is a cheap trinket. However, it should be noted that a shop souvenir can be very expensive, but a high-quality present made with your own hands is priceless. After all, it is unique and contains a piece of the donor's soul.
