Beautiful decoration of gifts with your own hands. How to wrap a gift beautifully in gift paper with your own hands: without a box, in an envelope, in the form of candy

A universal selection of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Friends, hello everyone! Today I will write about how to easily pack a gift and why you shouldn’t always take a hard box for decoration.

Gift ideas are, of course, wonderful, but the present must also be presented correctly, beautifully, elegantly. Well, other adjectives. And without beautiful packaging it’s difficult to do this.

So today I will show you some original packaging methods that won’t take much time.

How to wrap a gift in gift paper: step-by-step instructions

It’s not at all difficult to make packaging with your own hands, even without a box, which has already become a traditional symbol of almost any holiday.

There are several options here:

1 Just wrap the gift in wrapping paper. The master class below describes this process in some detail. I use it myself often, it turns out great)

For this method, you will need to cut a piece of paper that is wide and tall enough to wrap the gift. Usually, to do this, it is enough to multiply the width and height of the surprise by 2, add the side parts if the gift is not flat, and leave a small margin for hems. Then you need to wrap the gift according to the instructions below.

It would be best for you to pack this way:

• book,
• neatly folded T-shirt,
• towel,
• picture,
• telephone.

Due to the fact that you set the shape yourself using wrapping paper, you can decorate even a soft rag surprise in this way.

2 Origami. It turns out to be very original and you can even do without a box. All you need is a piece of wrapper and a little patience (and a ruler and scissors will also come in handy).

Such a lightweight paper box can be made from so-called kraft paper, which has the interesting property of adding something stylish to any creation. Try using it too. You can’t put a big gift in such a box, but a small souvenir will look very cool here.

3 There is also an object that is quite difficult to approach - a round or oval shape. In fact, everything here is easy to do yourself - take a square of wrapper, put the box in the center and... collect the excess into a bun.

We use corrugated paper

What is the advantage of corrugated paper? It is precisely in its corrugation. Such a wrapper can be expanded where necessary and given the desired shape. And for some of the methods described above, such paper is also suitable.

It would be ideal to wrap it in:

• bottle,
• watch,
• plate,
• handle,
• mug.

Thanks to the structure of the paper, wrapping the bottle will be very easy. You will need an upper and lower piece, which you need to wrap first around the top of the bottle and then the bottom. To make it all look harmonious, tie a thin ribbon around the bottle and disguise the joint with decorative ornaments.

For round gifts, everything is quite simple - you just need to cut off a piece of paper that covers the side of the surprise along the perimeter. The lower and upper parts will need to be assembled and the junction area decorated.

Another simple method that can be used for almost any small or medium-sized gift is candy wrapping. You can actually handle this task yourself in a few minutes.

Presenting a gift in a box

Boxes come in different shapes. Rectangular, oval, triangular - this is just the tip of the packaging iceberg; the variety of shapes is much greater.

Let's start with the traditional form, which is not at all difficult to create from thick cardboard.

If you are preparing for an important holiday, then the gift box should be decorated. This can be done, for example, as described below. A great way to congratulate a man is to wrap, say, a shirt in such a box.

To make your gift memorable for a long time, I suggest using the previously mentioned discs. But this time you don’t need a wrapper from them, but they themselves. Trace the disc as shown in the photo, then cut and fold the edges.

For a larger box, you can use plates, pans and much more.

And here is the packaging of the gifts in video format:

That's all! We have come to the end of the article on how to wrap a gift. I think you have found something suitable for yourself. Or maybe I didn’t tell you something? Then write about it in the comments.

See you!

P.S. Be sure to subscribe and wait for news from the nyaskory blog. And also tell your friends through social networks and surprise them with magical gifts.

2. Gifts of non-standard shape are not easy to pack: they do not fit into regular boxes and fall out of the bags. A great solution is gift wrapping of a non-standard shape! (Ooriginal )

4. Romantic young ladies and children will certainly love the ladybug that will be displayed on top of your gift. Of course, some origami skills will still be required, but overall, the effort is well worth it. (original MK )

5. Frosty paintings can be transferred to a box or gift bag. In this case, the form of packaging can be absolutely any. (idea withsite )

6. A sweet present, such as chocolate or candy, can also be presented in an original way. The packaging for such a gift could be...a large cardboard candy. (idea )

7. Unfortunately, you won’t surprise anyone with jewelry in velvet boxes. Even if there are two three-carat diamonds inside. But if you get a pendant or ring made of walnut, you will undoubtedly be surprised. (original idea )

8. Putting a gift into a balloon will require a lot of skill. But the result will exceed expectations. You just need to choose a stronger ball so that it doesn’t burst at the most crucial moment. (idea )

9. Don’t have time to pack and only have a white box at hand? Even she can be presented in an original way, disguised as a snowman or any other popular character. Add a few bright details and you'll get a stylish gift.( )

10. Even an ordinary plastic glass can become the basis for original gift packaging. Wrapping paper, bright ribbon, and cute details can turn even this completely utilitarian thing into a masterpiece.(original MK )

11. A traditional gift for any occasion is a bottle of expensive (or not so expensive) wine. If you don’t want to present such a gift in a regular bag, turn the bottle into an exotic fruit using paper and gold-wrapped candies.(idea )

12. A jar or plastic bottle can still serve the purpose. For example, as gift wrapping. Lace, sequins - the unusual packaging is ready.(MK )

14. We are used to packing gifts in foil or paper, but there are other materials that are quite suitable for this, for example, fabric. This technique, called furoshiki, has been used by the Japanese for a long time; it is much more popular among them than packaging in wrapping paper or boxes. (original MK )

15 An original backpack can become not just packaging, but also part of a children's gift. Who will live in this backpack is up to you. (MK )

16. Of course, giving money has not been fashionable for a long time. But if you received an invitation to a holiday unexpectedly, and there is no time to look for a gift, try packaging the bills in an original way. For example, in the form of a butterfly.(idea )

There are all kinds of gifts: big and small, expensive and budget, comic and practical. And of course, they must be beautifully and tastefully decorated. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to go to stores: you can easily cope on your own.

Creative approach

Often you want to present money, certificates, drinks, etc. in a special way. Unusual gift wrapping will help leave the birthday boy with a vivid impression of the presentation of the gift:

This congratulation is very memorable, so make sure that the birthday person has not been congratulated in this way before.

Decorations have a decent design

How to beautifully wrap a small gift, such as jewelry? Buy a case? It’s possible, but, you see, the birthday boy will immediately guess what’s inside. It’s another matter if you approach the packaging issue creatively!

Inside the jar you can create any composition, for example, New Year's, by taking artificial snow or sugar.

Everything in boxes

If you prefer to give gifts packaged in a box, then this way you can arrange a gift without leaving home:

Be sure to experiment with materials: different textures and colors will help you create a masterpiece.

Wrap and wrap

Often items purchased for the holidays are already packed in a box. Then the most suitable decoration option is wrapping. But what exactly is up to you to decide:

1. Newspaper, craft paper. To decorate a gift with these materials, you need to know at least the simplest scheme of how to wrap a gift in gift paper. A sheet of paper in width should completely wrap the gift and have an overlap of about a centimeter, in height - cover the side parts by 2/3. The order of work is as follows: first, the paper is folded widthwise and fixed with small pieces of tape, then the sheet is folded along the top edge of the package, then along the bottom, and at the end the resulting triangles are secured on the sides. Now it's up to the bow, ribbon, twine, etc.
2. Men's shirt. Place the gift in the center of the shirt or jacket from the back. Fold the sides, top and bottom of the shirt over the box. Cross the sleeves, bring them to the “front” side of the gift and tie them in a knot.
3. Packaging mica. This material makes holiday wrappers for any item. For example, bottles of wine. 4 strips 20 cm wide are cut out of mica about a meter long. Then both edges along the width are bent towards the center (5 cm on each side). The resulting 10-centimeter strips are laid crosswise. The bottle is placed in the center, the paper is lifted and tied at the neck level.

It is impossible to list all the ideas on how to wrap a gift: many are born, you just need to replace one detail - instead of a ribbon with a bow, tie a tie or suspenders. Why not? Make sure your gift stands out among others.

Packaging for sweet New Year's gifts. Original packaging with quilling elements.

This master class consists of two main parts: making a box and design, which is made using the quilling technique. You can put sweets in such a box and give them to children.

You will need:

Thick 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 (width approximately 0.5 cm and length 60 cm)

PVA glue

Quilling tool (can be replaced with a toothpick)

Glitter or something 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 draw curves, cut and fold the paper along its contours.

1.4 Cut out the entire shape and bend along the curves.

1.5 Start folding the box.

2. We arrange the packaging

2.1 Using 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 one that is light brown.

2.3 Once you have a roll, you need to release it until its diameter is about 2 cm.

2.4 Make an “eye” shape from the roll (see picture). You've got a scale.

2.5 The middle of each scale needs to be squeezed out and immediately greased well from the inside with PVA glue. This way you will fix the volumetric part. Let the glue dry.

2.6 Glue 3 others around one scale. Next, glue the remaining scales in rows to form a cone.

2.7 To make a hat for a pine cone, you need to prepare three paper strips and glue them into one long strip. This long strip now needs to be rolled into a roll.

2.8 Thread a thread with a small loop through the middle.

2.9 Shape the roll into a cone and coat well with glue. Let the glue dry.

2.10 Glue the cap onto the pine cone and you can decorate the piece with liquid glitter that imitates snow.

All that remains is to put all the details together. Place a gift in the package and tie it with a bright ribbon. Hang the pine cone on the loop. You can add a couple of artificial fir branches.

Many people love to give and receive gifts. But it’s doubly nice when the gift is beautifully wrapped. You can make holiday packaging with your own hands, for example, you can take the idea from the master classes offered here with step-by-step photos, as well as videos from YouTube. Prepare gift paper, ribbon and follow the selected instructions on how to properly wrap a gift.

Classic packaging

In this way, you can wrap an ordinary box in beautiful paper, and then add a spectacular decorative element from the same packaging material. Now we have a New Year's gift, so the design is appropriate, but this decor option is suitable for any holiday.

• wrapping paper;
• scissors;
• transparent tape;
• golden ribbon;
• glue.

This method is convenient for packing a gift that initially has a box with smooth edges. Therefore, at the first stage we pack as usual. To do this, cut off the required piece of wrapping paper.

We keep transparent tape on hand, we will need it at this stage. First, we wrap our gift on one side with wrapping paper and secure it in two places with transparent tape.

After this, we will close the end sides of our gift. To do this, first carefully bend one side down, following the contours of the box, as shown in the photo:

We form a triangle from the remaining part of the wrapping paper, folding the corners on the sides.

Now we bend the top of this triangle, after which we bend it to the end of the package. We take transparent tape and fix it well with it.

We repeat these steps from the other end of our box.

The decorative element of our packaging will be a fan made of the same paper. Therefore, we prepare a piece of wrapping paper to create it. It all depends on how we position this fan. We decided to position it along the width of the box. Therefore, we cut out the paper of the appropriate size.

Now we fold it like an accordion.

We bend this “accordion” in half.

We glue it in the middle, and make the edges of the resulting “accordion” semicircular using scissors. At the same time, we make sure that the overall size of the fan matches the width of our box.

The decorative element is ready, let's proceed to the final stage of packaging. Take a golden ribbon and tie it around the box.

We form a bow.

Now immediately behind the bow we fix the fan with glue.

Our gift wrapping is ready.

Packaging with folds

In this master class we will demonstrate one of the gift wrapping options. At first glance, it does not differ from the usual one, but at the same time it has one twist.

To create such packaging we prepared:

• wrapping paper;
• scissors;
• transparent tape;
• thin double-sided tape;
• golden ribbon.

First, prepare a sheet of paper of the required size. In this case, you should focus on regular packaging, but make an increase of approximately 50% in the direction in which the folds will form. We lay the sheet pattern down and make the first small fold.

Then we will make blanks for future folds. And to do this, we bend the paper 2.5 cm.

And we repeat this 4 more times. In total, in this case we will have blanks for five folds. If desired, they can be made larger or smaller. You can also vary the width of the folds.

Unfold the packing slip face up. We see 5 fold lines.

Focusing on them, we will form folds. Carefully grab the first fold at the edge and in its place form a shallow (about 1 cm) fold.

Now they need to be secured. To do this, turn the sheet over to the wrong side, where we secure the folds in several places with transparent tape.

Then we carefully begin to fold the end sides of the package.

Using transparent tape, secure one corner.

Then we bend the second corner with folds.

Using the same principle, we secure the other end of the package.

Now all that remains is to tie the gift with a ribbon.

We fasten it diagonally and tie the ends with a bow. Our gift is ready to be presented.

However, the paper for packaging can be the most ordinary, plain, but by wrapping your gift box in it, you can decorate it to your taste. See examples in this video on how to decorate a gift in style:

How to make a packaging bag out of paper

In this master class we will show a packaging option when the gift does not have a clear shape. For example, you need to pack something small beautifully, then check out this option for creating a bag using the origami technique.

To make such a packaging bag we took:

• square sheet of paper;
• scissors;
• hole puncher;
• golden braid.

In our case, we use a small square of paper 21 x 21 cm, but such a bag can be made from wrapping paper of any size. First, fold the prepared square sheet in half.

Then you need to perform diagonal addition.

After this, fold the square along the other diagonal.

The resulting folds on our workpiece allow it to be folded in the form of a double triangle.

Now we will begin to form our packaging bag itself. To do this, place the triangle with the base up, take the right corner of the top layer and bend it to the left as follows.

Then we bend it back, aligning the right side.

We do the same with the left corner of the top layer; it needs to be bent to the right.

Then we bend it in the opposite direction, not forgetting to align the left edge.

We bend the upper corners inward.

We turn the packaging over and do the same with the right and left corners.

We tuck the upper protruding corners inward.

Now let's form the bottom of our packaging bag. To do this, bend the bottom corner up.

After this, carefully form the bottom, which should be square.

We should have such a blank for packaging.

We thread golden braid through these holes.

Don’t forget to remove the gift first and then tie the ribbon with a bow.

Our paper packaging bag is ready.
