There are many handicraft opportunities that can generate a stable income.

Decoupage technique

Decoupage is a pasting technique various surfaces pieces of paper or fabric, which are then varnished. This task requires very few materials and equipment: paper and fabric, adhesive composition, scissors, various brushes.

To purchase a starter decoupage set, you will need to shell out about 10 thousand rubles. The necessary fabric and paper scraps can be found among friends and relatives.

Precisely because hand-made creativity often requires old things, this type of income becomes profitable, since it does not require the purchase of expensive materials.

Decor-candles

Competition in the decorative candles market is quite high, since this type of activity is not new at all. However, by developing your own technology and design, you can create beautiful souvenirs with your own hands in the form of unique candles.

To make the first batch of candles you will need to spend about a thousand rubles, which will go towards:

  • purchasing raw materials - as a rule, ordinary candles are melted using the steam method;
  • purchasing paint - you can use regular children's crayons;
  • making molds from tetra-pack bags. In another version necessary forms bought in stores.

When making candles, you must follow safe work rules, since the wax and paraffin vapors released during melting become a fire hazard.

Floral compositions

Unique individual flower arrangements today cost about five thousand rubles. At the same time, the cost of such a bouquet will be about 2 thousand.

Custom floral arrangements are used for weddings, anniversaries and other celebrations. The only disadvantage of this business is the search for clientele, since flowers are a perishable product, the bouquets are prepared before the order is directly issued to the client.

Badges and keychains

The production of exclusive keychains can be done by a person who has mastered locksmith skills.

Ceramic products

The stores are full of ceramic products, but they do not have the warmth that hand-made pieces have. The main thing in this matter is the presence of a clay deposit near the direct production.

Even the presence of a special kiln is not necessary, since it is possible to dry a small product in a regular oven.

Knitted accessories

Any hand-knitted items, be it clothes or accessories, have a unique personality. Therefore, such gizmos are valued by the consumer, making this business quite profitable.

To create knitted items, you only need to purchase yarn and hooks or knitting needles. But for industrial production you will need knitting machine, which will cost approximately a thousand dollars.

Sales of handmade souvenirs

In addition to the question of how to make a souvenir, you need to think about where to sell it. There are two ways to sell hand-made items.

The first is store trade. Handmade craftsmen sell their crafts in souvenir shops and departments. At the same time, registration of individual entrepreneurs, LLCs or product certificates is not required here.

However, there is a minus here - a lot of competition and sharing of income with the store owner.

The second option is online sales. To do this, you will also have to spend a lot of money on creating your own website (about 10 thousand rubles). Promotion and organization of the group in in social networks will also cost money.

Photos of DIY souvenirs

I always want to give it to my family and loved ones for their birthday. special gift, and what could be more pleasant than receiving DIY birthday gift, into which the donor invested a piece of his soul. Let's look at several options that are suitable for gifting to relatives, colleagues or friends.

DIY birthday gift master class

First, let's learn how to design sweet bouquet made from corrugated paper, this is the most universal option, you can give it to a colleague for his birthday, school teacher or a beloved friend. It’s not at all difficult to make, but it looks very attractive, and who doesn’t like sweets.

To work we will need the following: chocolate candies, round or truffles are better, they are easier to shape correct form bud, bamboo sticks, beige coffee corrugation, cream colors, film for packaging bouquets or corrugation suitable color, tapes, thin tape, office glue.

If you want to make the bouquet brighter, you can take paper of any matching colors. To make a flower, you need to prepare the petals; to do this, cut out identical rectangles measuring 5.5 cm by 7.5 cm in all colors. We round the upper edges; this is easier to do with a pencil or other cylindrical object. We stretch the middle of each petal a little so that it becomes convex. Candies need to be secured on bamboo sticks. Now you can start assembling the flower: wrap the candy with the prepared petals, go from light to dark, or you can vary the position of the petals from flower to flower. We fix the bud with tape, decorate the improvised stems with a thin strip of corrugation, grease the end of the strip with glue, and begin wrapping each skewer from the bud down. All that remains is to decorate the bouquet with packaging film or corrugation, and tie the finished bouquet with ribbons. As you can see, there is nothing complicated, and the result will really please the birthday girl. If you want to congratulate your grandmother, invite your child to do greeting card, ideas on how to design it.

Now let's see how to design. We will need almost the same materials as in the first version; we will make a gift heart with sweet tulips. It is important to choose for crafts beautiful box with a lid, it is not at all necessary that it be in the shape of a heart, you can take a round one or any other shape. We cut out the foam to the shape of the box, put it inside, and we will insert skewers with tulips into it.

To assemble one tulip you need to make 3 petals; to do this, cut out three identical strips measuring three cm by 14 cm from scarlet corrugation. Twist each strip in the middle and bend it in half. We slightly extend the middle of the future petal so that it becomes convex. We will use candies as the basis for the bud; it is better to take large ones. We place the petals around the candy to secure it using wire or thin tape. To make the flower look neat, trim off unnecessary edges. How many tulips you need to prepare depends on the size of your box; they should be located close to each other.

Before filling the heart, you need to decorate the sides; to do this, cut a strip of contrasting corrugated paper so that it is enough to wrap the entire perimeter of the box. Fold the strip lengthwise so that its width is equal to the width of the side of the box. The fold will serve as top edge To make it look more beautiful you need to slightly stretch the paper along the fold. With help glue gun We fix the paper on the walls of the box from the inside. Agree, the box looks much more elegant this way.

We place each tulip on a skewer or toothpick and then stick it into the foam. Try to place the flowers as closely as possible to each other so that the foam does not show through. We decorate the composition with leaves or artificial flowers, or you can cut them out of paper. You can complete the decor by gluing a butterfly or dragonfly to one of the tulips. Co. inside lids, you can glue a card with congratulations for the hero of the occasion. Ready heart It looks very cute and touching, you can give it to your beloved mother or vice versa to your daughter. If the idea of ​​sweets doesn’t suit you, you can decorate a beautiful Money Tree as a gift, see how to do this in our.

Now let's make it sweet DIY birthday gift for a child, the bouquet will not be so interesting for a little sweet tooth. Therefore, we will make a topiary from candies. I just want to point out right away that you shouldn’t leave your child unattended so that he doesn’t overeat too much sweets. These topiaries are perfect for decorating a sweet table at a birthday party.

To prepare topiary, you need the following ingredients: lollipop or other candies on a stick, sugar mastic, colored sugar sprinkles, ribbons and a base in which we will fix the stick, these could be thimbles and walnut shells, perhaps you can come up with your own version.

The first thing you need to do is fix the lollipop in the base; if you have a thimble, then fill it with plasticine and simply stick the stick into the plasticine. If you have nut shells, you will have to ask dad to drill a hole in them with a diameter approximately the thickness of a stick. Then we fill the shell with the same plasticine, turn it over and stick the candy into the drilled hole.

Now you can start decorating the topiary itself; you need to remove the wrapper from the candy. Roll out the mastic thinly, cut off a small piece, and wrap it completely around the entire candy. Pour the colored sugar sprinkles into a plate and carefully roll the resulting mastic ball in it, all that remains is to decorate the lollipop stick beautiful ribbon and the topiary is ready. Using the same principle, you can make not a ball, but sculpt funny little animals from mastic, this is also very simple to do, like this original crafts You will make the little birthday boy very happy.

Agree that you also want to give a colleague or beloved man unusual DIY birthday gift. I want to introduce you to a few original options. It would be a lie to say that men don’t like sweets, but giving a cake is too banal, but if you design a gift based on the recipient’s hobbies, that’s a completely different matter. Among modern men very popular computer game"Tanks", let's surprise your man with a gift in the form of a tank. For work we will need: A couple of unnecessary boxes different sizes, various wrapped sweets, a bottle of alcohol (cognac, rum or whiskey, the choice is yours), scissors, double-sided tape, toothpicks or bamboo skewers, wrapping paper green or other suitable color.

The boxes can be taken from under anything, the main thing is that in the end one is a little larger than the other. They are needed to make the basis of our tank - the tracks and the turret. I had a shoebox and a blood pressure monitor, so I cut the shoebox into two halves and inserted one into the other to make a square. On one side we need to cut a semicircular hole, where we will later insert the bottle - the barrel of our tank. Boxes need to be covered with paper on all sides. Now we glue the armor onto the tank using double-sided tape - candy. We wrap the bottle decorative paper and install it on the tower; you can place real or souvenir banknotes as a banner on the tank using skewers. I'm sure that's how it is an unusual gift you will pleasantly surprise any man, even your boss.

If the birthday boy is interested in music or plays the guitar himself, we have another great option. Let's make an unusual guitar out of chocolate. In addition to chocolate (I used kinder) you will need thick cardboard and thick threads. Depending on what size cardboard you managed to get, you may need different quantity chocolate, ideally it is better to make a guitar in natural size. On a sheet of cardboard we draw the silhouette of the future guitar; we will need two such parts. The guitar should be three-dimensional, so we cut out a strip for the end from the remaining cardboard. You can make the entire guitar the same thickness, it’s much easier, but in general it’s correct to make the neck of the guitar thinner than the rest. If you do everything according to the rules, then one blank needs to be made longer in the neck area.

We glue the guitar box together with tape. Cover the entire surface with chocolate wrappers. The base is ready. Now we glue the chocolates themselves on top of the wrappers; it is not necessary to use a kinder, you can take any candies with a flat base. You need to pave it as tightly as possible, but even if there are gaps left, this is not critical, since we previously covered the surface with wraps, they will be almost invisible. To make it look more like a real instrument, we stretch strings from thick threads. Having mastered this simple technique, you can make a model of any instrument and design it individually for your sweet tooth.

How to make a birthday gift with your own hands

Let's finish with sweets for today. Now let's look at how to arrange beautiful gift for a birthday with your own hands for parents of a newborn. I think that a bottle of champagne would be quite appropriate, and if it is decorated in accordance with the event, it will become an excellent souvenir. There are many ways to design, you can sew an outfit, or wrap it in beautiful paper, we use decoupage technique for decoration.

Before working, you need to remove the labels from the bottle; to do this, soak it in cold water for a while. Then remove the labels, the top one can be left, and the remaining glue can be easily removed with cotton wool and alcohol.

Now all glass surface Cover the bottles tightly with white acrylic paint. It is convenient to work with a piece of sponge. When the paint is completely dry, apply one or two more layers so that the bottle does not show through. Choose a design that suits the occasion, I have a napkin with a stork, but you can choose any other, the main thing is that the design is suitable for congratulating a newborn. We don't need the whole napkin; cut out the necessary fragment. Next, we proceed directly to decoupage - there are several ways to glue a napkin to a surface. With the “dry method”, the place where the napkin will subsequently be glued is smeared acrylic varnish, leave to dry a little, but not completely. Place a fragment of a napkin on top of the half-dried varnish and carefully, slowly smooth it out from the center to the edges. Apply another layer of varnish on top. To prevent the edges of the napkin from being visible, the remaining unsealed surface of the bottle needs to be decorated to match, I have this pink color, so I add a drop of red color to the white acrylic paint. Using a piece of sponge, apply paint over all surfaces, slightly extending to the edges of the napkin. When the paint dries, fix everything with a layer of varnish. If after the varnish has dried, wrinkles or roughness have formed on the bottle, they can be easily removed using a fine sandpaper. I have white circles on my napkin, so to make the background the same, I use a white acrylic outline to draw droplets on the surface of the bottle.

To highlight a picture, outline it acrylic paint with pearl effect. The drawing will be beautifully framed, to do this, take openwork lace, spread a layer of varnish along the contour of the bottle, and do the same with lace. There is enough varnish to keep the lace firmly, the main thing is to let it dry thoroughly. When the lace is dry, you can tint it with paint. We put dots or draw a pattern along the contour of the foil with a pearl outline, and finally cover the entire composition with another layer of varnish. Instead of regular postcard We cut out a small label from scrap paper with curly scissors, write all our wishes and congratulations on it, and attach it to the neck of the bottle using a satin ribbon.

Thus, we designed a gift for the parents of a newborn; if you want to decorate the bottle for another occasion, the decoupage technique is perfect, the only nuance is in the motif of the picture. In any case, when making gifts with your own hands, you put a piece of your soul into the gift. A gift should be not only beautiful, but also useful, so we often give money; you can learn how to decorate a gift envelope from ours.
