It's time to start packing gifts for the closest or distant, but loved ones. We do it too, and here are some of the ways we especially like it. Many of them are editorial website took note.
New Year's mail
A parcel from Santa Claus - isn't this what every child and (to be honest) an adult dreams of? The real one, with stamps and a red and white ribbon, like in your favorite movie about the New Year.
For travelers and dreamers
Warm packing
Finally, there is a worthy use for an old but beloved sweater. The technique of execution is simple, and originality, comfort and warmth just go wild.
pom poms
If ordinary bows are not to your liking, pompoms are a great replacement. They are fluffy, warm, cute and very New Year's. And yes, they are easy to make.
natural elements
Going out into the nearest forest or grove, you can find a lot of cute decorations for a gift: these are traditional cones, and small twigs that can be painted in any color and decorated with tiny pompoms.
From fabric
A beautiful fabric can serve as a great gift wrapping - and most importantly, you can make a lot of different options. The packaging process itself is very simple:
1. Place a square of fabric face down, place a gift in the center.
2. Tie two opposite corners of the fabric in a knot.
3. Tie two more opposite corners.
4. Another knot.
5. And one more, final. Now you can add decorations - and you're done.
And this is how you can make an absolutely unique fabric. With whales, for example, they are adorable.
Instead of boring tapes
If you want to do something very unusual, you can try to embroider an ornament or a wish directly on paper. Paper is a malleable material and it won't be difficult. Another option is to use paint that can be written on with chalk, like a blackboard. And if you have a sewing machine, you can easily do something like this:
Stamps
A method that simply captivates with its simplicity of execution. All you need is a pencil with an eraser, paint and a sponge. A simple and cute polka dot pattern is always appropriate.
Cut out
A very simple but unusual way to decorate almost any package. We advise you to first prepare a stencil from thick paper, then circle it on wrapping paper and cut one half with a paper cutter, then bend it. It is better if there is another one under the top layer - it is more elegant.
hand painted
This is where you can let your imagination run wild! Whether it will be pastel watercolor stains or dense strokes of paint - it's up to you, the result will be amazing in any case. And unique, which is also important.
Paper boxes
In fact, you can find patterns for paper boxes of almost any shape on the net. Most often, they can be printed on a printer in full size and then slowly transferred to thicker paper.
Salt dough tags
The salt dough recipe, known since elementary school, will also come in handy in the difficult but pleasant business of gift wrapping. The most common cookie cutters (and now you can find molds for the New Year theme) and the simplest materials - cute gift tags are ready. Patterns on the dough can be made by any means at hand - for example, attach a knitted napkin and press it, you get a beautiful knitted pattern.
These simple gift wrapping tips and tricks will help you create the illusion that you are a craftsman.

Packing for sweet New Year's gifts. Original packaging with quilling elements.
This master class consists of two main parts: the manufacture of the box and the design, which is made using the quilling technique. You can put sweets in such a box and give it to children.
You will need:
Heavy paper
Round plate or CD (any round object) - the larger the circle you have, the larger the package.
simple pencil
Scissors
Creasing tool (or something similar)
bright ribbon
Paper strips for quilling (approximately 0.5 cm wide and 60 cm long)
PVA glue
Quilling tool (can be replaced with a toothpick)
Glitter or similar
1. Making a box
1.1 Prepare a sheet of thick paper and draw a circle on it. Draw two perpendicular diameters through the center of the circle.
1.2 Now, through the indicated points A and B, you need to draw another circle. In the new circle, you also need to draw perpendicular diameters (see picture).
1.3 Use a plate or disk and a creasing tool to trace, cut and fold the paper.
1.4 Cut out the entire shape and fold along the curves.
1.5 Start folding the box.
2. We make out the packaging
2.1 In the quilling technique, you need to make a bump. You will need half a brown paper strip and a third light brown. These strips need to be glued together.
2.2 For a cone, you need to make a lot of scales - in this example, from 18. This means that you need to make 18 strips, as in paragraph 2.1. Start twisting the strips, starting with the light brown one.
2.3 After you have a roll, you need to release it until its diameter is about 2 cm.
2.4 From the roll, make an "eye" shape (see picture). You have a scale.
2.5 The middle of each scale must be squeezed out and immediately well lubricated from the inside with PVA glue. So you fix the volumetric detail. Let the glue dry.
2.6 Glue 3 others around one scale. Next, glue the rest of the scales in rows to make a bump.
2.7 To make a hat for a bump, you need to prepare three paper strips, glue them into one long strip. This long strip now needs to be twisted into a roll.
2.8 Pass a thread with a small loop through the middle.
2.9 Give the roll a cone shape and grease well with glue. Let the glue dry.
2.10 Glue the hat on the bump and you can decorate the blank with liquid sparkles that imitate snow.
It remains only to put together all the details. Put a gift in the package, tie it with a bright ribbon. Hang a cone on the loop. You can add a couple of artificial spruce branches.

Spend an evening making a dozen bags out of an old newspaper? Brad, you say. Now, at every step, you can order packaging for any gift, choose the color of paper, ribbons and a bow yourself. But those who love to give and receive as a gift something original and extraordinary will understand me perfectly. A gift selected with skill, with sense and arrangement, and even presented beautifully ... anyone's dream! So, how to make something inimitable out of the packaging?
1. We make a bag of thick paper
To make such a package, you need to use fairly thick, glossy paper, but many needlewomen successfully use ordinary newspapers and glossy magazines - the main thing is that the product can withstand the weight of the gift. Carefully study the master class and go! Coat all joints and parts well with glue, and in no case use double-sided tape for gluing - this is unreliable. Such packaging can be decorated with a funny tag (read below how to make an original postcard tag with your own hands) or a bow, as well as ribbons or pendants. If this is a New Year or Christmas gift, attach a Christmas toy, paper snowflake, angel or fir branch to the bag.
2. Boxes of various shapes
As it turned out, making mega-creative packaging for a non-standard gift is easy! It is enough to purchase a clerical knife and a sufficient amount of cardboard. You can also use glue, a stapler and all kinds of decorations.
The scheme of work is simple: draw and cut out the stencil you like from paper (you can use it in the future), transfer it to cardboard and carefully cut out the blank. Next, make light cuts at the folds and assemble the box.
