Whatever the special occasion, it is always pleasant to receive gifts and give them. It’s even nicer when it’s a handmade gift. Made with love, it will tell you much more than the one bought in the store. What can you give that is original and unusual?

Gift with sweets

This option is especially suitable for girls and children who love sweets. For example, unusual idea- a kind of pot with moss, from which various sweets on a stick will stick out. You can take the simplest pot and pre-decorate it by gluing beads, sequins, coffee beans, etc.


Or you can not decorate it, but attach self-adhesive paper to it in a festive or bright style. First, the pot must be filled with something like padding polyester or polystyrene foam, and then artificial moss must be placed on top.

DIY scented candle

To do this, you need to melt wax, a colored wax pencil, add a little of any essential oil(or your favorite perfume) and immediately, before the wax hardens, pour it into a greased mold.

The mold can be made of silicone or glass, but thin glass can burst from overheating. The candle wick must be inserted into the mold in advance and secured, or immediately after pouring the wax (while holding the wick so that it does not fall).

You can also decorate the aroma candle with anything you have on hand - coffee beans, cinnamon sticks (they can be wrapped around the candle and tied - it will be a kind of candlestick), any cereals and seeds, bay leaves, shells, small colored stones, etc.


Option for a girl

A hand-made bracelet made from beads or beads is a worthy solution for a gift. A garland of beads is also suitable for this. It’s very easy to make such a gift - you need to glue the beads to a form (the form should be an ordinary thin bracelet, without decorations) and tie the beads with a thick thread.

It turns out very creative and beautiful. If desired and possible, you can glue rhinestones to the beads, but then it is important not to overdo it with them, otherwise the product may look a little vulgar.


You can give a jewelry box as a gift. To build a box, you should stock up on square tetrapacks in advance. For example, milk cartons are suitable. You also need cardboard, good glue, and wrapping (or self-adhesive) paper. In addition to the main details, you can also take decor to decorate the box - these can be beads, braid, sequins, etc.

How to make a box

First, a rectangular base of the desired shape is cut out of thick cardboard, then squares from tetra packs are glued into it - as many as will fit. You will get several square zones in which you can put different jewelry - for example, rings in one zone, earrings in another, etc.

All this must be well glued and dried. On one of the long sides of the box you need to glue a pre-cut piece of cardboard - the lid.

Then you need to decorate it wrapping paper(or paste it with self-adhesive) and any decor of your choice.

Box with edible gifts

For such a gift, you can use any beautiful box or jar and put goodies in there in layers - this idea is great for those with a sweet tooth. The jar or box should be decorated thematically, depending on the occasion of the holiday.

Photo frame decorated with seashells

If you go to the sea, then you probably have various shells. You can also use them as a gift! To do this, you need to take a simple frame, without decorations and preferably without bulges. The shells need to be boiled briefly, about 7-8 minutes, sanded with a block, then coated with varnish (transparent, of course) and pasted over the frame.

You can make a heart out of shells by first cutting it out of thick cardboard, painting it with white paint and pasting it with shells. In addition to shells, beautiful buttons, beads, and rhinestones can be used in this composition.

So, it is better to make either one large heart or several small ones - you will get a kind of picture of shell hearts. Just don’t forget to get a thick canvas and frame for such a “panel”.

Another gift option is jewelry made from shells, such as beads or a bracelet. To do this, you need to drill small holes in them and thread them into a thread of the required size.


Having imagination and available materials, you can prepare any gift with your own hands - as you can see, it is not so difficult. And you don’t have to have a solemn occasion for this, sometimes you can just please loved one and give him a pleasant surprise that he will gladly accept and appreciate.

Bouquets

You can make bouquets of sweets, fruits, and even socks with your own hands. Feel the edge when there is already a lot of everything, this is what sometimes betrays the grief of the masters. Let it be better a small, laconic gift than a mountain of various nonsense.

Bouquets can be funny, for example, roach and cheese “Pigtail”, in a newspaper skirt, or roses from socks on Men’s Day. Or they can be stylish and attractive, for example, a bouquet of strawberries in pink chocolate glaze.
