How to quickly and easily wrap a gift?

How quickly and easily, and most importantly, beautifully to package a gift? Agree, this thought comes to mind every time you need to go to a holiday and give something. In this article, you will learn how you can transform any present into something bright and unusual.

You have already chosen what you will present and are ready to present the gift, but suddenly you realize that it is not packed. And there are absolutely no ideas on this matter. Then it is worth remembering that any available material in a presentable form can be used for this.

The easiest way without much creativity is to present a surprise in a gift box or in an envelope. You can use ready-made packaging boxes or a beautiful bag. Or go to the gift shop and they will pack everything for you.

However, don't be in a hurry. If you show a little creativity, then any packaging can be turned into a unique one by decorating it with various decorations from ribbons, fabric, cellophane, or even gifts of nature (leaves, nuts, acorns, dry berries, etc.).

There are 3 interesting packaging options for your attention.

• Take paper, foil, or fabric so large that it is larger than the object itself, and wrap it in a roll. Tie with a string on both sides and get an unusual packaging - candy. Both fast and original.

• Putting it in a bag. To do this, you can take both transparent material and colored or even foil. We unfold it, put a gift in the center, collect the edges from above into a bundle and tie it with a ribbon, thread, knitted ribbon or wire (at your discretion).So, in 2-3 minutes our present looks very exotic and attractive.

• This option is suitable for those who do not have gift paper at hand. In this case, you can take craft paper or even newspaper, make a package, tie it with a string or thread, attach a note - and the vintage packaging is ready!

If you want to decorate a container beautifully, for example, with tea or coffee, then pour the contents into a glass jar, and put parchment on top of the lid and rewind with a thread (as in Soviet films or cartoons), add an inscription about what is in the jar - and you're done!

The most popular packaging method is specialty paper - there are about a million different ornaments and types of it, but just a beautiful pattern is not enough, you also need to wrap it beautifully.

• House of paper... It will be necessary to draw a blank, cut and glue the parts together - this is a simple and very unusual way of packaging.

• Package. A universal option is a stylish minimalistic kraft paper that can be supplemented with interesting details. With the help of corrugated paper, a bottle, clock, plate, pens or cups will acquire a certain romance and harmony.

• Paper gift bag. To make it, we need parchment (thick paper) and a box. We take a box of the volume that we want to see our package, wrap it with paper and use glue to connect the sides together. We do the same for the bottom of the bag. Then we take any paint and decorate the package, take out the box - the package is ready.

• "Chest". This presentation works best for a small souvenir. We will need to take colored cardboard, a ruler, pencil and scissors. Measure the parameters of your souvenir, to this number add half the length and plus a couple of centimeters of stock to the width and height. Next, we draw a blank, cut it out and fold it into a shape. Ready.

• "Pillow". It is done in the same way as the chest, only it is wrapped both above and below.

• "Sweet gift". Perfect if your souvenir has several pieces. Using scissors, we cut out the workpiece, as shown in the diagram, and fold the material into volumetric triangles (pieces of cake), then put it on a plate and decorate.

• Box. There are a lot of box-making techniques, the simplest is to take a sample, wrap the parchment around the box, cut out, glue the edges, get the empty box, and form a package from the resulting box. If you want the box with a lid, make 2 parts, just remember that the top should be one centimeter wider. And then this box can be decorated as you wish.

• Bows. They can be done using ribbons, serpentine or quilling. These can be either regular or lush bows.
• Flowers. You can make various flowers from satin ribbons, which will be a great addition to gift wrapping.
• Dried flowers... You can take the dried flowers or grass that you like and wrap it in a wrapping material, forming a bunch or other composition.
• Photo. Will be a great decoration for any gift.
