Tie a gift with a thread
Today it’s fashionable to pack presents beautifully. Moreover, most often for this purpose, not packaging, but kraft paper is used. How to wrap gifts with threads? You should choose a thick rope that will match the color of the package. Cut off a small piece and just wrap her a present. This is not to fix the packaging. The paper should be fastened with double-sided tape. The thread serves as an element of decor. Tie it should be in a knot, and then make a bow out of the tails. Various shapes cut from colored paper can be strung on a thread. It can also be labels, for example, a circle with a picture of a gift or a Christmas tree. Pick up something themed. If the gift is presented for the New Year, then you can use spruce branches as a decor, and if the gift is presented on a birthday, you can use beads or metal fittings to decorate the threads.
Muzzle Packaging
How to wrap gifts? Plain paper can be selected for this purpose. We unfold it on the table, and put a gift in the center. Now you need to pull the two opposite ends of the paper to the center. We fasten them with double-sided tape. We do the same with the other ends of the paper. The result is an even rectangle. To make the package look more interesting, it can be decorated with colored paper. For example, cut a deer face out of it. We draw horns, eyes, nose. We cut out these blanks and glue to the gift. The deer’s mouth can be drawn with a marker.
Curly packaging
How to wrap gifts in a non-trivial way? One easy way to wrap a present is to make some form of paper. You can, for example, cut a large star. Its size should be two times larger than the gift itself. Now you should sew the form on the machine somewhere to the middle. We put a gift in the package. So that a figure made of wrapping paper does not lose shape, it should be stuffed with something. It can be rain, strips of colored paper or pieces of padding polyester. It should be understood that the donee must find something beautiful in the package. Therefore, it is not worth stuffing a figure with newspapers. When the form is ready, you should sew up the hole through which it was filled. If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can make a seam with your hands. You can also use a glue gun. But still, the fixation will be more reliable if it was carried out using threads.
Modernized classic
How to wrap a gift with paper? You can use the classical method, but to modernize it a bit. To do this, you need a beautiful, preferably plain colored wrapping paper. We unfold it on the table. Now in the middle of the paper web you need to make an accordion. The inside of the bends is fixed with tape. How to beautifully wrap a gift with paper? Now in the center of the workpiece should be a present. We bend the two opposite sides of the paper toward the center and fix them with tape. From the remaining edges of the wrapping paper we make triangles and fix them. Such packaging is ideally complemented by tape. If the paper was taken plain, then the bow should be bright or colorful. You can take a strip of stripes or polka dots. You should put a wrapped gift on it, wrap it once along and the other across. A beautiful bow should be tied on the top of the package. The ends of the tape can be shaped into a zigzag shape and processed with a lighter.
Big bow
Wondering how to wrap a gift in a ribbon? The easiest way is presented below. For this decor method, you need a wide ribbon of contrasting color wrapping paper. We put a gift on her. Now we start its ends up and cross them. Then you should spread the tape on two sides, where it is not yet. Make ends on the bottom side of the gift. This will be the front part. Cross the ribbon again and tie it into a knot. Now you need to fold the bow. The packaging will look interesting if you tie not one, but two bows in a row. The ends of the tape should not be cut too short. They need to be processed with a lighter so that the cut is even, and the tape does not spill.
Compound bow
How to beautifully wrap a gift with a ribbon? You can tie some beautiful bows. Several blanks should be made. Choose ribbons that blend well with each other in color. They do not have to be in the same color scheme. You can even pay attention to contrasting options. The main thing is that the packaging does not look too gray. That is, if the paper is used light, without a pattern, you need to supplement it with bright colors. If you packed a gift in something colorful, then the ribbons need to choose a neutral color. We tie some bows. There should be from two to five. Now we take a long tape, which will serve as the basis. You need to bandage the gift according to the scheme, which was discussed in detail in the previous paragraph. But the principle can be slightly modernized. For example, to tie a bow not exactly in the center, but slightly shifting it to the side. We wrap the gift with ribbon, and then fasten the pre-prepared blanks with the help of knots. It remains to make a bow from the base and cut the edges of the ribbon in a zigzag pattern. Do not forget to scorch them with a lighter.
Candy packaging
If you do not know what to present the gift to, give preference to something non-trivial. For example, make a candy wrapper. How to wrap gifts in this way? It is necessary to make a blank. To make it, you need tinted paper. Its size will depend on the size of the gift. We take a rectangle and cut three rhombuses along its edges. How to do this, you can see the figure attached above. Now you should process the edge of the package. On each side you need to make half a diamond. Thus, you should get a figure, each part of which looks like a candy.
How to wrap a gift in gift paper cut earlier? First, cut the sides with a clerical knife. Thus, constructive lines are applied to help make the bends even. Now you need to bend each of the sides up. We fasten the tails of the bow with glue or a hot gun. Then you need to put a gift in the center of the package. Now we connect the remaining parts of the workpiece. The packaging is ready. As a decor, you can use threads. They should tie the edges of the candy wrapper. On the central part of the candy you can stick some kind of picture or postcard.
Packing house
To make a beautiful gift wrapper, it is not necessary to use colored paper. It is possible to do with the usual whatman. Everything will depend on how you present it. From a white sheet of paper you can put together a wonderful house in which you can put not only an expensive gift, but also a small present. How to make such packaging? First you need to make a pattern. If you do not want to redraw it from the sample attached above, you can simply print the picture. Then you should cut out the pattern. Now you need to transfer it to thick paper, for example, on a piece of paper. Redraw the outline and cut it out. Then you should put a picture on the packaging. You can fantasize something yourself, or you can redraw the image from our sample.
The preparatory work is almost complete. It remains to cut through the clerical knife constructive lines. This is necessary so that during the collection process the bend does not accidentally form in the wrong place. When everything is ready, you should bend the house along the cut-out places and fix the walls with glue or tape. We put a gift in the package, and then close it with a roof. For better fixing, we fasten the paper with glue. The resulting house can be decorated with thread, ribbon, beads or a spruce branch.
