DIY dad's gift for the New Year

The excitement about New Year's gifts begins much earlier than December 31. And this applies not only to adults, but also to children. Every child wants to please their parents with something special, something that will please them.

For them it will be enough to get the attention of the child, as well as see how much he put his energy into preparing the gift.

A New Year's gift from young children should be purely symbolic, because they still cannot make money. You can make a gift to your dad in many ways. As a presentation, a postcard painted by a baby, and a drawing created in just a few minutes, and a miniature keychain from improvised materials are suitable. In addition, she will touch her dad and the poem that was misunderstood under the Christmas tree.

But older children need a little work.

Next, consider the most interesting gift ideas.

• Those who have mastered the knitting technique can knit a hat, sweater or warm socks for their father. This will be especially true for a parent who loves winter hunting or fishing. And you don’t have to worry if something doesn’t work out, because dad “just won’t notice it”.

• Anyone who likes scrapbooking can do photo album for old beloved family photos. A more atmospheric album will turn out if you select the appropriate photos - New Year's or just winter.

• Another interesting gift is a photo frame. It can be made of thick cardboard, and then decorated with small shells or dried flowers. Inside, you must insert a family photo.This will make the gift even more personal and important for the father.

• Happy New Year Christmas tree toy DIY made. To do this, you can use polystyrene, and even a burned-out light bulb, which can be painted with paints, and then sprinkled with colorful sparkles.

• It’s easy for the baby to make a soft toy, which will be a symbol of the upcoming New Year. You can make it from felt or other fabrics available in the house. You only need to stock up on the needle and thread of the desired color. If something does not work out, you can always turn to your mother, who will be happy to help. By the way, after the New Year the toy can be hung in the car, if any.

• For coffee lovers, you can make a Christmas tree from coffee beans. Everything here is also extremely simple. The young master will need a cup and saucer, some coffee beans, a thick thread or twine, as well as polystyrene and several multi-colored beads. From the foam it is necessary to cut the base for the Christmas tree, which should be conical. Then it must be smeared with glue and quickly wrapped with twine. From above, you can stick grains, as well as multi-colored beads. In this blank you need to carefully insert the barrel, which can be made from a conventional handle, also wrapped in twine. The Christmas tree should be placed in a cup covered with coffee grains.

• A great gift would be a do-it-yourself mug case. This will allow you to take coffee or tea hot, without being burned at the same time. In addition, you can give a personalized mug to the case.

• If dad has a car, you can knit or sew a pillow for the driver, for example, in the form of a car. Inside you need to put a soft filler. For a simpler option, you can take a regular pillowcase, fill it with a padding polyester, and decorate with a thematic applique on top.

• A keyring will be a great gift. You can make it from any materials at hand. It can be beads, wood or fabric.

• If father is fond of fishing, a great gift for him would be a craft of cones and acorns in the shape of a man with a fishing rod. To make it is very simple: in addition to cones and acorns, you only need twigs or matches for pens and legs and a little glue.

• Fridge magnets. To do this, you need to make a Christmas figure from salt dough or special plasticine. When the toy is ready, it must be painted, and a small magnet should be glued on the back.

• If the father is fond of cooking, then it is quite possible to give him a stylish nominal apron. To make it, you do not need much time or special skills. Drawing or inscription can be done using stencils or decorate the apron with stickers. However, if the child knows how to accurately and beautifully write, you can arrange everything by hand.

• You can give a tie hanger to your father who works in the office or a stylish handmade butterfly. Each time, putting on such a tie, dad will remember about his caring child.

Edible gifts will please everyone. For those who do not like sweets, you can cook a delicious salad or bake in the oven a fish caught by dad. But for the sweet tooth, the choice of gifts is almost unlimited.

• Even small children can easily bake cookies in the form of stars or little animals, and then fold them into a box made in advance with your own hands and decorate it with a bow made of corrugated paper. You can also make packaging for the box yourself. To do this, simply paint plain wrapping paper with thematic patterns or write New Year's wishes on it. The original design will appeal even to men who are far from art.
• A wonderful gift for dad will be a gingerbread house. You can ask for help from your mother, who will not only tell you the recipe, but also do the difficult part of the work if necessary.
• A delicious and original present will be a Christmas tree made of sweets and several tea bags.To do this, you just need to make a conical blank from thick cardboard, and then with the help of glue attach the sweets and tea bags to the base. To design a Christmas tree, it is better to choose the most delicious and fragrant tea and dad's favorite sweets.
• You can bake a cake in the shape of a clock, draw arrows on it that will show five to twelve. Dad will definitely share such a delicious gift with all household members.
• Chocolate cookies are also easy to make. You can choose a simpler recipe or cook huge American cookies with pieces of chocolate inside. Additionally, you can write New Year's prediction on the packaging. Or choose a more original version and bake the pieces of predictions directly in the cookie.
• You can make a jar of dad’s favorite jam asking grandmother or mom for a recipe. On a jar, you must stick a leaflet where congratulations will be written. In addition, the jar can be beautifully decorated with snowflakes or tinsel.

Any present from a son and daughter will be pleasant to the father, especially if it is made with all my heart and with great love.
