How to pack a blanket as a gift?
How nice it is to receive a blanket as a gift. This irreplaceable thing will become a reminder that you are loved and wanted so that you feel comfortable when you are at home. To be honest, no one will refuse such a presentation, be it a man, a woman or a child. But how to present a present correctly is a question. In the case of gifts, you should always start with the packaging.
Types of packaging
You can beautifully wrap a blanket as a gift using wrapping paper. It is desirable to choose its color according to the type and character that is inherent in the donee. You also need to take into account the gender of the person to whom you have prepared the soft offering. Gifts for women, girls and children are wrapped in light colors of brown paper, while darker shades can be used when you want to please a man.
Keep in mind that red, gold and silver shades will suit everyone, without exception. Moreover, these colors should be used when you give a blanket for the New Year.
Then you need to start choosing high-quality gift paper. There is no shortage of this today. You just need to take into account the required size and density, and the following information will help you decide on the option.
- If your blanket is made of soft and delicate material, then you can choose glossy paper for wrapping. She is beautiful, but her minus is a very fragile material. However, for delicate things, such a wrapper will do just fine.
- A papyrus Whatman paper will give your gift a presentable look. It is also called silence. This material is designed to fit snugly and is usually used for wrapping soft toys. You can also wrap a blanket.
- Durable canvas is craft. This product practically does not tear, and with various variations, you will be sure of the safety of the thing.In addition, its specific properties will create the illusion of volume. A good argument for those who like big gifts.
- Plaid in corrugated paper will look exquisite because of its large embossing.
- The gift also looks great in stretch film. The polysilk is specially designed for wrapping soft presentations, and its surface is painted in an advantageous metallic shade.
- Mulberry drawing paper. Due to its compactness, it is able to create the bulk of the package. Your gift will take on advantageous contours, and the pliability of the material will help give the package a great look.
How to fold and arrange?
You decided to give your loved one a blanket and even chose and bought it, but you don’t know how to roll up and pack in an original way? Do not despair. It is not difficult to make unusual packaging with your own hands. Read the following information and you should be fine with this task.
First, fold the thing in a special way, for example, in the form of a heart. To do this, roll the blanket into a narrow strip along its length (similar to how you roll up a tube). Then smooth out this tube. Then start rolling it from both sides to the center. When both twisted ends meet in the middle, form a heart. Secure with silver tape.
The form will also look original in the form of a snail. To form the next model, we act with a blanket in the same way as in the first case. We twist the thing lengthwise into a narrow strip. Then you need to fold one edge to the middle and tie it with colored tape. We simply bend the other half in half (this is the head) and attach it with a colored tape to the body (its ends should have remained).
Next, we proceed to wrapping the gift in specialized paper. To do this, we take a specific sheet that corresponds to the size of the presentation. Do not save paper, otherwise the shape of the gift will lose its appearance. We carefully collect all its ends and turn to the center. After that, we fix them with tape and decorate the docking place with a large paper bow.
By the way, the task will be simplified if you wrap the blanket in a stretching film - polysilk.
Other design options
There are a lot of them. For example, you can make a box with your own hands from thick paper and decorate it with packing material. To do this, cut a blank according to the size of the item and glue all the ends. Decorate the lid with a large bow made of silver ribbon. Place a soft gift folded to your liking (in the shape of a heart) into a colored box.
A blanket will look beneficial if you roll it into a small but dense roller and secure it with colored tape. But packing in the form of a huge candy will make your present unforgettable. How to arrange all this? Imagine that your blanket, rolled up, is a huge sweet bar (candy from childhood), and the wrapping paper is a candy wrapper from a bar. We cut out the paper of the appropriate size, put our plaid candy there and form a large candy.
You can also make a packaging in the form of a fish. We take wrapping paper of the desired color and size (fish come in different colors, which means we select them according to the meaning of the gift). We make a blanket shape in the shape of a fish's body and wrap it in paper (we repeat the manipulations: we will improve the shape in the shape of a fish).
We cut out the fins separately and make the tail (here it all depends on your imagination: you can not completely cut a sheet of paper into small stripes on one side, and on the other side crush them with your palm). We supplement the body of the fish with a tail and fins (fix them with tape or glue). Don't forget the eyes and mouth. When it's complete, you will see how creative solutions transform gifts made from the heart.
