The holiday is just around the corner, so we offer you gift wrapping ideas for the New Year 2019.

Every year, the design of a New Year's surprise ranks far from the last place. Individuality can emphasize the value of a gift.

And it’s more pleasant to receive a surprise not in a store-bought package, but in one that has its own “zest.”

Current trends 2019

Currently, the following areas of gift wrapping have become very popular:

• Eco-style;
• Minimalism;
• Eclecticism and futurism.

When wrapping a holiday gift in an ecological style, natural tools are used - natural shades, different textures and nothing artificial.

Often they use craft paper, tied with a bow made from ordinary rope, decorated with natural elements - flowers, pine cones, fir branches.

Minimalism is rigor and restraint. There should be a single thought here - simplicity.

When decorating, a minimum of elements is used, for example, the gift is wrapped in ordinary paper, and a small tag indicating the name of the recipient acts as decoration.

Futurism and eclecticism are suitable for those who like to combine several directions at the same time.

This could use a fancy satin ribbon bow and paper decoration, or a fabric box with a small decorative pin.

So, in order for the surprise design to be unforgettable and fashionable, you need to apply style and be attentive. The initial result depends on the quality.

Original boxes in hand-made style

The most popular method of presenting a holiday gift is a cardboard box. It's very easy to do:

1. You can find a template on the Internet or draw it yourself on a piece of cardboard.
2. Cut the workpiece and assemble it according to the lines on the diagram.
3. Glue the box where necessary. It is better to use double-sided tape, as it does not leave marks or smudges.
4. Decorate the box. If decorative stickers are used, it is recommended to apply them before assembly. Dry the box and you can put in a surprise.

Such a box can be of absolutely any shape, for example, a pyramid or even candy. Let's look at the process of making candy. For this you will need:

• Colored cardboard;
• Pencil and ruler;
• Stationery knife;
• Sample;
• Glue;
• Thread.

So, in order:

1. Let's transfer the candy stencil onto the cardboard.
2. Cut along the contour lines and make slits with a stationery knife.
3. Press firmly along the folds with a ruler to create a crease.
4. Place a surprise in the center of the workpiece and wrap it up.
5. Tie neat bows at the twisting points.

You can also make a box in the shape of a piece of birthday cake. To do this you will need a thick colored canvas or thin cardboard, a ruler, a pencil and glue. You won’t spend more than 30 minutes making it.

Transfer the template to paper of the color you like. Cut out the blanks and bend along the marked lines. Glue the box together, then start decorating.

Beautifully wrapped

We know how to make boxes, all we have to do is learn how to beautifully seal the gift with our own hands.

You can limit yourself to just a box, or you can make something interesting. The packaging should look neat - all cuts are smooth without traces of glue (as mentioned earlier, you must use double-sided tape). She must completely hide the surprise. Don't forget about the name card - this is the part of the decor that always catches your eye.

Sequential packaging steps:

• The box is wrapped in paper and the places where it needs to be cut are marked. Trim, leaving a margin of a couple of centimeters.
• Tape the long edges on both sides.
• Fold the short edges into a trapezoid and glue with double-sided tape.
• Do the same on the opposite side.

This is a classic wrap, then let’s look at the packaging in the shape of a Christmas tree:

• Place the surprise closer to the edge of the paper.
• We bend the bottom edge of the paper, enveloping the gift.
• Then we bend the sides to the ends.
• You will get various valves in the form of triangles.
• They are folded in such a way as if a pigtail is being braided.
• We glue the upper triangle with tape and decorate the packaging.

Let's look at a few more original ideas for presenting holiday gifts.

Paper feathers

A simple paper design decorated with feathers acquires style and originality. Feathers are also made from sheets of old books or wallpaper.

Glitter and chic

By replacing the usual craft paper and decorating it with glitter, the result will be very unusual. Artificial fir branches and name tags are used for decoration.

Laurel wreath

Craft boxes decorated with laurel wreaths look very unusual and original. For fixation, use a regular rope.

Spruce branches

This type of gift presentation is suitable for people with delicate taste. The gift, wrapped in black wrapping paper and decorated with fir branches, looks very festive.

“Winter” drawings The box is wrapped in black wrapping paper and pictures with a winter or holiday theme are drawn on it with a white marker or corrector.

It looks extremely unusual.

Banks

Presents in glass jars. A small amount of cotton wool, hay or polystyrene is placed at the bottom of the cans. The necks of the jars are decorated with ribbons, bows, tags or sweet candies.

The following option looks very interesting: cut out a stencil of the symbol of the year, stick it on a jar, paint it in the color you like and peel off the stencil. The result will be a bright jar with a picture of a dog.

This packaging is perfect for lollipops. You can glue a small figurine of the symbol of the year to the lid and decorate it.

Textile

The fabric design looks more than unusual.

This is a combination of style and home comfort. Surely in every closet there is a piece of unnecessary fabric.

Knitted material is more suitable. And it won’t be difficult for needlewomen to knit a small piece for decoration.

Unusual packages

An unnecessary or damaged book will be an original way to seal a surprise. The finished bags can be decorated with a piece of lace or sparkles. Secure the bag in the original way with a regular clothespin.

Star

Paper stars are a very original way to present a New Year's surprise. Plain and kraft paper is used for creation. You will also need minimal sewing skills.

A star template of the required size is cut out of paper, and a gift is placed in the center.

New Year's tinsel is used to create the volume of the star. Next, the paper layers are stitched together.

Burlap packaging

Burlap is a combination of originality and style. Everything is done very simply. The gift box is wrapped in burlap and secured with satin ribbons or bows.

You can also make bags of different sizes from burlap and put surprises in them.

The smell of the holiday

There is nothing more original than giving a gift with a festive scent that will smell fragrant even after the New Year. To do this, you will need a mixture of aromatic herbs (basil, thyme, rosemary and others), a piece of fabric and glue.

You need to cut a piece out of the fabric and lay out the herbs. You can either collect it in a bag or stick it to a gift box.

Packaging for children

New Year is a family holiday. But children value gifts most of all. For children, you can cut out various New Year's animals.

You can make a snowman using a plastic plate, ribbons and buttons and attach it to a gift box. It looks very original. You can make Christmas trees or snowflakes from the tubes.

You can also decorate the box with some flat figurine. You can make Christmas balls, stars, garlands and so on from fabric.

It would be very original to attach edible cookies to the gift. Children will enjoy it even more.

Surely children will love a gift packed in a box in the style of Santa Claus or the Snow Maiden.

A child will love a New Year's gift wrapped in a boot or stocking. You can buy it in a store or sew it yourself. Decorate with beads, snowflakes and small holiday snowflakes.

You can also make a red bag, like the real Santa Claus. Children's holidays are always accompanied by sweets. Take a plastic box, decorate it with New Year's attributes and put sweets.

New Year's packaging for children's gifts: "Hedgehog"

Hi all! Thanks for visiting the blog! We continue to prepare for the New Year and today’s topic: how to wrap gifts with your own hands.

I’m willing to bet that you’ve already felt the New Year’s approaching quickly; fortunately, tons of themed TV advertisements and elegant store windows inviting Christmas sales are unlikely to let us forget about the New Year’s bustle. Surely you have already thought about and, and, of course, about gifts for friends and family! In order for the gifts to be remembered by your loved ones for a long time and become a joyful, long-awaited surprise, I recommend taking care of beautiful packaging in advance. Of course, you can turn to a specialist, but beautifully decorated gifts are not cheap, and handmade packaging, even if not entirely perfect, is a great way to express love and show attention.

The usual shiny wrapping paper has long looked old-fashioned and uninteresting. It looks cheap and is not that easy to use. An excellent alternative is the simplest rough kraft paper that you can buy at an office supply store. It is dense, eco-friendly, neutral - an ideal basis for any holiday decor.

Ribbons, pieces of lace, bright threads, buttons, lace napkins, Christmas tree decorations, sparkles and feathers - you can use everything you have at hand!

The combination of wrapping paper and satin ribbons looks very elegant and sophisticated.

Craft paper, scraps of colorful fabric, a piece of twine and a little imagination - the original designer packaging is ready.

If you wish, you can make cards yourself by cutting them out of beautiful paper or cardboard and attaching them to the gift:

Pine cones, spruce or thuja branches will look very festive and original on the packaging.

Where to get thuja branches? I won’t recommend plucking it from the nearest fence... Although that’s also an option. Let it remain on my conscience =) You can buy a small thuja in a pot - it will fit perfectly into the New Year's interior of your home.

If you paint the paper yourself or write New Year's wishes on it, you will get designer wrapping paper at minimal cost:

A very simple and beautiful way to decorate New Year's gifts - snowflakes cut out of white or colored paper:

Another great idea is to use family photos when wrapping gifts. Collective family - for a gift to mutual friends, individual photos - to indicate the recipient.

If you don’t have the funds and have some imagination, you can even use newspapers as wrapping paper! In my opinion, there is something romantic in this, from childhood: when they wrapped both roses and sausage in newspaper =)

As you know, a book is the best gift, which also needs beautiful New Year’s packaging:

And this way of making a gift for the New Year will definitely be appreciated by music lovers and musicians. I am sure that everyone who studied at a music school will have old sheet music with overplayed etudes at home.

If you approach gift wrapping with soul, then even simple notebook sheets will look stylish and unusual:

Another way is to use lace when packing. Perhaps not the most budget option, but this gift design looks simply luxurious!

I am sure that you have found an option to your liking and you can’t wait to start wrapping gifts for the New Year and Christmas! On our blog you can find detailed master classes and DIY projects.

I wish you that all your New Year's chores will be extremely pleasant, and that the result will win the hearts of your loved ones and friends!

You can make your own gift boxes from colored paper (or a suitable design printed on a printer) and cardboard or cardboard with a New Year’s print already applied. Use New Year's symbols to decorate your gift - Christmas trees, snowflakes, stars, sparkles, bows and more. Then the gift wrapping will be bright and elegant.

Gift box “Snowflake”

An original detail is a snowflake on top of the gift box. Making such packaging with your own hands will not be at all difficult.

You will need:

"> cardboard or thick paper;

">stationery knife;

scissors;

glue.

Print out the box template and cut it out with scissors.

Transfer the diagram onto cardboard. Mark the fold lines indicated in the figure.

Use the back of a utility knife to follow the fold lines - this will allow you to bend the cardboard more accurately.

Glue the corners of your box by gluing the triangle protrusions to the sides of the “snowflake”.

When the glue dries, close the finished box, placing one snowflake element on top of another.

Decor ideas forDIY gift box

If the plain white color of a gift box seems boring or too plain to you, decorate the packaging with glitter. To do this, coat the snowflake with glue (a glue stick is best for this) and sprinkle generously with glitter. After 5-10 minutes, blow off any excess glitter.

Rhinestones on a sticky base are also perfect for decorating the box. Decorate the box to your liking by simply gluing rhinestones onto cardboard.

Instead of regular white cardstock, use silver or gold colored cardstock.

Template for the Christmas tree box

Place your gift in the center and gather the edges of the box with the seams facing inward.

Once all four edges are aligned, tie the ribbon around the gift wrap as follows: For the bow, fold the ribbon in half not once, but twice, and only then tie it into a knot.

Making a ball with a surprise is not at all difficult; it is more difficult to choose a useful “filling” for it. The “stuffing” can be any small interesting things, toys, high-quality sweets, for example: children’s jewelry, wristwatches, hairpins, small cars or dolls, stickers, shells, beautiful pebbles, balloons, a mirror, a notebook, magnets, animal figurines, cookies , sweets and much, much more. To make one ball, it will be enough to prepare 3-4 things.

The surprises prepared in advance will need to be wrapped with ribbons of corrugated paper, so that the end result is a cocoon in the shape of a ball with gifts hidden inside.
