The holiday is just around the corner, so we offer you gift wrapping ideas for the New Year 2020.

Every year, the design of a New Year's surprise ranks far from the last place. Individuality can emphasize the value of a gift.

And it’s more pleasant to receive a surprise not in a store-bought package, but in one that has its own “zest.”

Current trends 2020

Currently, the following areas of gift wrapping have become very popular:

Eco-style;
Minimalism;
Eclecticism and futurism.

When wrapping a holiday gift in an ecological style, natural tools are used - natural shades, different textures and nothing artificial.

Often they use craft paper, tied with a bow made from ordinary rope, decorated with natural elements - flowers, pine cones, fir branches.

Minimalism is rigor and restraint. There should be a single thought here - simplicity.

When decorating, a minimum of elements is used, for example, the gift is wrapped in ordinary paper, and a small tag indicating the name of the recipient acts as decoration.

Futurism and eclecticism are suitable for those who like to combine several directions at the same time.

This could use a fancy satin ribbon bow and paper decoration, or a fabric box with a small decorative pin.

So, to make the surprise design unforgettable and fashionable, you need to apply style and be attentive. The initial result depends on the quality.

Original boxes in hand-made style

The most popular method of presenting a holiday gift is a cardboard box. It's very easy to do:

You can find a template on the Internet or draw it yourself on a piece of cardboard.
Cut the workpiece and assemble it according to the lines on the diagram.
Glue the box where necessary. It is better to use double-sided tape, as it does not leave marks or smudges.
Decorate the box. If decorative stickers are used, it is recommended to apply them before assembly. Dry the box and you can put in a surprise.

Such a box can be of absolutely any shape, for example, a pyramid or even candy. Let's look at the process of making candy. For this you will need:

Colored cardboard;
Pencil and ruler;
Stationery knife;
Sample;
Glue;
Thread.

So, in order:

Let's transfer the candy stencil onto the cardboard.
Cut along the contour lines and make slits with a stationery knife.
Press firmly along the folds with a ruler to create a crease.
Place a surprise in the center of the workpiece and wrap it up.
Tie neat bows at the twisting points.

You can also make a box in the shape of a piece of birthday cake. To do this, you will need a thick colored canvas or thin cardboard, a ruler, a pencil and glue. You won’t spend more than 30 minutes making it.

Transfer the template to paper of the color you like. Cut out the blanks and bend along the marked lines. Glue the box together, then start decorating.

Beautifully wrapped

We know how to make boxes, all we have to do is learn how to beautifully seal the gift with our own hands.

You can limit yourself to just a box, or you can make something interesting. The packaging should look neat - all cuts are smooth without traces of glue (as mentioned earlier, you must use double-sided tape). She must completely hide the surprise. Don't forget about the name card - this is the part of the decor that always catches your eye.

Sequential packaging steps:

The box is wrapped in paper and the places where it needs to be cut are marked. Trim, leaving a margin of a couple of centimeters.
Tape the long edges on both sides.
Fold the short edges into a trapezoid and glue with double-sided tape.
Do the same on the opposite side.

This is a classic wrap, then let’s look at the packaging in the shape of a Christmas tree:

Place the surprise closer to the edge of the paper.
We bend the bottom edge of the paper, enveloping the gift.
Then we bend the sides to the ends.
You will get various valves in the form of triangles.
They are folded in such a way as if a pigtail is being braided.
We glue the upper triangle with tape and decorate the packaging.

Let's look at a few more original ideas for presenting holiday gifts.

We talked about just some of the ways to creatively design and present nice souvenirs. Lovely products self made are now at the peak of popularity, especially since they can be made even on a small budget. The most memorable hand-made gift will be the one that takes into account the individual preferences of the recipient.

Preparing for the New Year takes a lot of time. One of the most important issues that needs to be resolved in the pre-holiday bustle is what to give and how to give it. If many have already decided on the gift itself and even prepared it, then all that remains is beautiful packaging. In this article we’ll look at how to beautifully wrap a New Year’s gift with your own hands. Below are several options and ideas with descriptions.

Plain paper or burlap can be very stylish packaging. To wrap a gift beautifully, simply wrap it in paper or burlap. You will get stylish and modern packaging. But it is necessary to decorate the packaging with decorative elements. For decoration, you can purchase scrapbooking kits and use decor from them.

You can decorate the packaging with a sprig of rowan or spruce, simply by tying it to the wrapped gift with jute rope or braid.

You can make a boutonniere and attach it to a wrapped gift. We make a boutonniere on a square of paper, gluing spruce branches and any decor onto it.

If the wrapped gift has the shape of an elongated rectangle, then you can attach a pair of eyes and a smile to the package, knit or sew a cap and put it on one side of the rectangle.

You can decorate a gift wrapped in burlap or paper with winter mistletoe flowers. To do this, you need to cut out the flower details from red and green felt. Apply a golden outline to the fabric around the edges of the parts. Glue a flower from several red and green parts. You can make several of these flowers and place them on the packaging, fixing them with glue. Glue a bead in the middle of each flower.

Decorating simple corrugated packages

Another stylish option How to beautifully pack a New Year's gift with your own hands - using ordinary cheap paper bags. But we will decorate them in New Year’s style.

To decorate the ordinary paper bag You can use one of the following options:

Option #1

The bag can be embroidered. To do this, glue a small piece of fabric the size of the intended embroidery to the inside of the bag. This will strengthen the paper and prevent it from tearing. Choose a pattern for embroidery. It could be a simple star or a herringbone. Draw the outline of the pattern onto the bag. Then embroider along the outline. You can embroider with a simple line stitch only along the contour, or you can do satin stitch embroidery, filling the entire design.

Option No. 2

You can decorate the bag with a regular design. acrylic paints. To do this, choose a suitable motif, draw a sketch with a pencil and decorate with acrylic paints. In this case, you do not need to dilute the paint with water, otherwise the paper of the bag may get wet.

Option No. 3

Make a beautiful artificial boutonniere spruce branches with decorative decoration. To do this, cut out a small square from paper. We will glue the boutonniere onto it. Prepare twigs, small balls, bells, bows or any other decoration.

Glue branches beautifully onto a paper square so that they diverge from the center in different directions. Then glue the prepared decor on top of the branches. Place double-sided tape on the back of the paper base and attach the boutonniere to the bag in the center or at the handle.

Original types of packaging

For those who do not like traditional options and prefer interesting gifts and unusual packaging, we suggest considering the options below.

Option #1

Take a piece of thick fabric, fleece or velvet napkin. Place the gift box in the center of the cut and tie a knot from the ends of the fabric diagonally and diagonally again. You can insert a flower or a spruce sprig into the center of the knot.

Option No. 2

Take 2 sheets of corrugated packaging paper. Place your chosen gift in the middle. Sew the paper in the shape of a star or a boot around the gift. Trim off the excess. This way, the gift will remain inside the stitched figure. To get the gift, you will need to tear open the packaging.

Packaging of threads for knitting or knitwear

Here's another beautiful way to wrap a New Year's gift with your own hands using knitting threads and knitting needles. Let's describe two options.

Option #1

Pack the gift in plain paper. You can use white paper or unbleached paper.

Tie the wrapped gift crosswise with threads in several layers.

Make a couple of pompoms from these threads. To do this, take a ruler and wrap threads quite tightly around it, tie one side tightly with thread, and cut the other side with small scissors.

Tie the pompoms to the ends of the string, tie a bow from it and attach it to the middle of the gift.

You can complement the decoration with a couple of branches from an artificial Christmas tree.

Option No. 2

To do this option you need to know how to knit. To wrap a gift, knit a wide scarf with a braid pattern with stripes, tie it around the gift, and attach a pompom made of thread to the knot.

Or you can knit the packaging itself. To do this, you need to knit a rectangle of such a width that it can fit around the box with the gift. The height should also be equal to the height of the gift plus 5 centimeters.

Sew the edges of the rectangle and the bottom, place the gift in the resulting bag, connect the ends of the knitted package at the top and tie with ribbon or braid.

We sew bags

Very interesting option There will be a homemade gift bag. The easiest way to sew it is from felt. This material is quite easy to work with and looks New Year's.

For the bag we will need:

felt of different colors;
braid;
thread and needle;
sewing machine;
paper pattern for appliqué parts for the bag.

You need to think in advance about what will be sewn onto the bag. It could be a Christmas tree, a snowman, Santa Claus. It is not necessary to use complex applications; you can get by with a schematic Christmas tree or a snowflake. Draw a pattern on paper so that you can apply beautiful, even contours of the parts onto the felt. When everything is ready, let's proceed:

Cut a rectangle from felt of the main color equal to the intended width and height of the bag.
Open out all the applique details.
Sew the applique onto the front side of the cut out bag by hand or by machine.
Fold the bag in half and stitch the edges.
At the top of the bag, attach a loop from a strip of felt or braid.
Thread a cord through the loop.
Place the gift in the bag and tie the string.

The bag can be sewn as a regular rectangle, or in the form of a boot. You can also knit a similar bag with knitting needles.

If desired, you can decorate the sewn or knitted bag with a small boutonniere made of artificial fir branches.
