Presentation of gifts is a whole art, if a person wants not only to give a long-awaited souvenir to a friend or relative, but also to amaze his imagination with packaging appropriate for the event. A beautifully wrapped little thing with fantasy will turn into a full-fledged gift. And, on the contrary, sloppy packaging will spoil the most chic present. Moreover, she is able to offend the hero of the occasion, demonstrating a dismissive attitude towards him. How to pack a gift so that they are sincerely admired?
The first thing that comes to mind is brightly colored holiday paper, which can be used to wrap almost anything. The exception is objects with sharp edges or complex shapes. It takes a little practice to make the packaged souvenir look perfect.
It is much easier to put a gift in a ready-made cardboard box or a fancy paper bag and tie it with a ribbon. A couple of decades ago, such packaging could only be seen in Western films or abroad during the Christmas holidays. Now it is sold in any supermarket. Often a postcard is attached to it, which indicates the name of the donor. A glued ribbon bow with the name of the holiday also looks good.
A gentle and sophisticated option for women is to hide a small present in a velvet or organza bag. Putting a gift in a bag, you need to tighten the laces and secure them with an original flower made of fabric or a safety pin with rhinestones.
Fragile souvenirs are placed in plastic blisters, which are inserted into white cardboard with slots so that the gift looks out and attracts attention.
The task is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. But for the independent implementation of this idea, patience will be required, otherwise you risk turning into a comic hero, unwinding the roll and crumpling paper around the present.
The paper is thin and flexible enough to make the mission easier. It is best not to cut off a piece of the desired size “by eye” (it will turn out crooked), but to draw an even line on the reverse side with a ruler. The necessary tools at hand will be double tape and scissors.
Since souvenirs or boxes come in different shapes, there is a different wrapping technique for each case. Consider step-by-step instructions on how to beautifully pack a gift in gift paper.
in a square box
First, you should measure the length, width and height of the box and cut off a piece of paper, taking into account the dimensions. Its width should be equal to the sum of the height and length of the box, multiplied by 1.5, and the length - the sum of the height and width of the box, multiplied by 2, plus 3-4 centimeters.
A sheet of gift paper is turned face down, and a box is placed on top. A strip of adhesive tape is placed on its edge along the entire length, to which a short edge of paper is glued.
The opposite edge is bent a couple of centimeters inward. The fold line must be properly ironed with your fingers so that it becomes even. Along it is another strip of tape. The stretched paper is glued to the edge of the already fixed one with a 1-2 cm approach.
The edges of the paper on the side of the box are bent at the top, then carefully folded with your fingers. An adhesive tape is placed on the paper protruding to the left and right, after which it is fixed on the upper part.
The corner remaining at the bottom is pasted over with two more strips of adhesive tape and rises up.
Whether to add a bow or tie up the finished package with a ribbon depends on the solemnity of the event and the donor's imagination. A lace with a contrasting color will look spectacular.
in a round box
A sheet of paper, preferably cigarette or corrugated paper, is cut so as to wrap the box on the side and secure the edge with a 2 cm lead. A flat tape is glued along the inside of the top edge, after which the paper is stretched and fixed on the bottom edge.
The width of the sheet should be equal to the height of the box multiplied by 3. The bottom and lid are decorated with paper laid in folds one by one. The center is fixed with a round transparent sticker.
You can format it in different ways. For example, tie a box with twine or decorate the top with a flower or other decorative elements: balls, hearts, bells.
Without box
If the edges of the souvenir are not sharp and will not tear the gift paper, it is best to cut off a piece with a large margin from the roll, put the gift in the center and pull the edges up. By tying them with a ribbon or stapler, the donor will receive an original voluminous bag.
The most advantageous option would be to use paper with a small repeating pattern so that the laid folds are not so conspicuous.
Packing with transparent film
Such a wrapper will perfectly protect the souvenir from or snow. It is interesting to wrap the bottle with silicone film, twisting it clockwise on a narrower neck. The edges remaining on top should be lowered down and secured by tucking between layers of film.
A round tall box can be decorated in the form of a candy.
A wicker basket looks beautiful, wrapped in a film and tied with a bow on top. This option has long been a classic.
The idea of unusual packaging does not end with a neat wrapping in paper with a pattern. It is useful to supplement it with rhinestones or convex stickers. Handicraft stores offer a huge selection of such funny gizmos.
You can get acquainted with the various options for decorating gift paper on videos shot by professional decorators.
Big presents
Gifts of a huge size cannot be wrapped in paper, so you should stop at a light knitted fabric, for example, panne velvet. Throwing it on a present from above, it will turn out to hide it from the recipient and surprise by pulling off the fabric at the right time.
small souvenirs
The most common packaging methods:
- wrap a gift in paper in the form of a candy, pulling the long edges with ribbons. Cut the edges to form a fringe;
- put in a bag of satin, organza or velvet;
- glue an envelope made of thick paper and put the present inside if it is flat enough. To achieve the effect of antiquity, you need to fasten the envelope with a wax seal;
- put the gift in a box with a magnetic lid.
Unusual shape
Will come to the rescue:
- a plastic jar into which you can put a scarf or keychain, and glue it on the outside with multi-colored sequins or rhinestones;
- cardboard box with a transparent window in the lid. So that the gift does not hang out and break, the container is filled with shavings or narrowly cut strips of paper;
- corrugated paper with the edges pulled up.
Gift ideas for loved ones and friends can be inventive or tailored to the recipient's interests and hobbies, but there are several universal types of gifts that suit everyone.
Books
If you are not too lazy to glue a case made of thick cardboard for her, the gift will take on a special meaning. You can glue hearts, ribbons on the packaging or paint wishes on the hero of the occasion.
The second option is to wrap the book in gift paper. You won’t want to unpack such a gift for a long time, provided that the wrapper pattern is cheerful and colorful.
Bottle
You should wrap the wide part of the bottle with plain paper and fasten the edges, and then color it with felt-tip pens or attach a striped sticker to it. From above, on the neck, you need to put on contrasting paper and pull it off the cork with twine.
Painting
You can choose a suitable color and size cardboard case and put the picture in it.
Wrapping paper or thick fabric will also come in handy.
Clothes and accessories
For such a presentation, a fabric cover is suitable.
Hang a blouse or jacket in an original way on a hanger decorated with sequins.
Other gifts
The gift will receive a unique package if you make it yourself. There are many patterns of cardboard boxes that are easy to assemble, but allow you to choose the color of the cardboard and its texture yourself.
A souvenir looks good in a self-glued paper bag with lace handles.
Each holiday date dictates its own characteristics of gift wrapping. For each season, both the pattern on gift paper and decorative decorations change.
For the New Year
On the most elegant holiday, it is customary to supplement the wrapper with the symbols of the New Year and Christmas. They can become:
- tree branch;
- golden bells;
- tinsel;
- figurines of Father Frost and Snow Maiden;
- tiny Christmas toys.
The drawings on the paper bags also contain scenes of a celebration or a winter snowy forest.
On March 8
This day is dedicated to the beautiful half of humanity. In addition to flowers, it is customary to give small gifts to female work colleagues or acquaintances. It is worth considering the appropriate packaging in advance, because the date marks the arrival of spring, so its colors should be intense and joyful.
More than ever, multi-colored bags for small surprises will be appropriate. Of the decorative elements, or beaded pendants are suitable.
For February 23
Gifts for men should be placed in a box or package in a discreet color. A camouflage pattern or a mysterious image reminiscent of agent 007 looks fervently on them.
It is a mistake to think that the stronger sex does not attach importance to the wrapper. Men always pay attention to her and appreciate women who take the time to pick her up with taste and imagination. Men like various kinds of cases, especially leather ones, and cardboard packaging in the form of a stylish suitcase. Of course, it is important to try so that the content does not disappoint them either.
Conclusion
The choice of a gift is often puzzling and forces one to carefully examine the preferences of its future owner. It is far from always that the recipient will hint at the necessary thing, and then the ingenuity of the donor and the advice of mutual friends come to the rescue. A great idea is a common gift or complementary souvenirs.
It is not difficult to wrap a gift beautifully if you know the features of its shape and size. Among the many options, it is better to look not at ready-made bags and boxes, but at the wrapper, which you yourself can add with decorations and ribbons. She will definitely be appreciated, and the gift will make a huge impression.
