There's still a little time left until the New Year, so we suggest spending it on preparing gifts. We told you what gifts to choose in the article "What to give for the New Year", and today you will learn what to wrap them in. Although your eyes run wide from the multitude of options, we have already been able to choose a few favorites. Now we present to you a large selection of ideas for every taste.
With the help of simple materials, you can create real works of art, thereby helping Santa Claus and Santa Claus. The latest trends in this area for several years now are eco-style, minimalism and handwork. People are choosing expensive and luxurious materials less and less, replacing them with kraft paper, or even completely unusual burlap, magazine clippings and fragments knitted from woolen yarn. It is also fashionable today to decorate gifts with cones, fir branches, dried flowers and even berries. And the newspaper, which 30 years ago served as the main, banal and everyday, wrapping material, today is almost a rarity, therefore it is also actively used as festive packaging, stylized, of course.
A parcel from Santa Claus
Any of us would be happy to receive it, not to mention children. So why not bring the fairy tale to life at least for the New Year?! To implement this idea, you will need any beautiful box with an attached postcard. It can be printed on a color printer and supplemented with real postage stamps.
An option for travel enthusiasts
In this case, you will need geographical maps or old atlases. It is enough to simply wrap a package or box in such a print and tie a beautiful ribbon. Romantics and travelers will definitely appreciate such an idea.
Warm packs
If you have an old sweater lying around in your wardrobe, it may finally find a worthy use. Especially since this gift theme is very wintery, cozy, and original.
Pompoms
No matter what you wrap your gift in, you definitely want to add a ribbon to the box. But a bow, it turns out, is not necessary at all. It can be replaced with a cute pompom made by yourself. You can easily find instructions for their creation on the World Wide Web.
Natural elements
Pine cones and twigs will look very organic under the Christmas tree. So why not attach them to a New Year's gift?! Especially since such organic and eco-friendly solutions are very fashionable now.
Alternative to tapes
Even paper packaging can be decorated with embroidery. If you act carefully, the paper will not tear, and you can surprise everyone with your creativity. It can be the initials of the gift recipient or a small pattern.
School years
Another completely unexpected idea is to paint the gift box with black slate paint and write your wishes on it with white chalk. Just like in school =) Of course, you can also just use black rough paper.
"And on the typewriter ... too ..."
Instead of adhesive tape, you can secure the package with a machine stitch. Yes, yes, sew the package on a regular sewing machine. If you show imagination, you will come up with absolutely amazing and unique solutions.
Stamps
A simple and cute way to diversify any paper, for example, kraft. Making such prints is incredibly simple - dip the eraser on the tip of a simple pencil in paint. Polka dots are always cute and appropriate. You can, of course, get creative with potato stamps and more sophisticated silhouettes than polka dots.
Quickly
A very simple, fast, but at the same time unusual way. It is best to prepare a template in advance and trace it on the packaging. As they say, measure seven times, cut one - with a stationery knife or scissors. It will be beautiful if under the top, cut layer, there is another one - in a contrasting color.
Delicate watercolors
If you still can't find the paper of the desired color in the store, create it yourself using paints, preferably watercolors. Although rough strokes of oil paints will also be effective. After all, the main thing in such a festive wrapping is mood and uniqueness.
Homemade boxes
On the Internet you can find many detailed instructions for self-assembly of paper boxes. It will be convenient to print such templates on plain paper and, as from a pattern, transfer them to selected thick colored and / or printed paper, or cardboard. This option is optimal for packaging trinkets.
Dough rings
Salt dough is very similar to plasticine or clay, and at the same time it can be easily baked, molded into any object. We suggest that these be cute labels. They can be personalized, made with inscriptions or prints of some famous objects - keys, shells, lace, etc. - and given any shape. After baking, such labels can be attached to a ribbon or rope, with which you tie the festive packaging.
Lace and knitted napkins
Rustic style, a bit of shabby chic and a touch of Provence... This is exactly the mood created by lace braids and crocheted napkins, placed on top of paper packaging and "girded" with a ribbon.
Help from a can
Using a can of silver or gold paint, you can turn any object you have at hand into an exquisite decoration. We recommend that you have pine cones, twigs, leaves, or other natural details on hand =)
Three-dimensional paper elements
Another creative solution would be 3D figures attached to boxes. For example, Christmas trees made of colored paper. Or you can practice origami.
Cozy aromas
Instead of a bow or in addition to it, you can use cinnamon sticks. It is beautiful, unusual and very fragrant. If you prepare for this option in advance, then the cinnamon can be supplemented with dried orange rings. Continuing the theme with cinnamon... And why not tie cookies to the gift? Especially since today there are so many thematic molds on sale: Christmas trees, deer, snowflakes, etc.... And you can also glaze them beautifully - it will turn out very fabulous and in a modern Greek style.
With children's hands
Popular finger paints for kids inspire another idea. The simplest packaging will sparkle with new colors if you make a simple drawing on it, even with your finger.
Wire: unexpected and cute
An extravagant replacement for the usual bows can be... wire. However, it must be wrapped with colored threads, giving it the desired shape. It can be initials, hearts, or other shapes that your imagination will tell you.
Pixels or braid
Using threads or paper strips, you can create a pixel interweaving like this. It's concise, stylish, and unusual.
Scraps and leftovers
Don't throw away those leftover holiday wrapping paper scraps. They can be useful as decorations. Just use them instead of ribbons and bows.
Snowflakes
One of the last options for New Year's packaging decor is the idea of snowflakes. By cutting out a regular traditional snowflake from colored paper, you can successfully complement plain packaging by simply attaching it to the package and wrapping it with a piece of string.
Multilayeredness
Don't be afraid to combine different ideas in one gift: for example, sheet music, kraft paper, burlap, rowan berries, etc. This is trendy and stylish not only in clothes.
To keep warm
Holiday drinks can be warmed up =) Just knit little hats and scarves and put them on the bottles. It's cute, touching, and humorous.
Photos
A shared photo attached to the box can be a heartfelt and personal decoration for a gift to a loved one.
We hope that the proposed selection has inspired you to creative achievements. And this year your loved ones will be able to admire not only the content of the gift, but also its form.
Happy Holidays! =)
