How to make a gift for your girlfriend on New Year’s hands?

New Year is a time of miracles, fulfillment of cherished desires and endless creativity. I would like to delight and amaze loved ones and friends with creative gifts created by our own hands. And what gift can be made for a girlfriend for the New Year, read this article.

You like to create, to invent, to be fond of creativity - then you are quite capable of creating a fantastic gift for your close friend, which no one will have. But if you are not fond of needlework, and the idea to make a gift for yourself first came to your mind, before starting work it is worth weighing the pros and cons.

Minuses:

1. to do a unique thing, you will have to spend much more time on work than on a shopping trip to the gift store;
2. you need to give up some of the pleasures - watching TV shows, walking, going on holiday sales, gatherings in a cafe with friends;
3. handmade materials cost a lot, especially if you want to make a quality thing that will last a long time for its mistress;
4. products from paper, fabric, natural materials, unfortunately, are short-lived, they fade in the sun and become dusty.

You will need:

• make a drawing, sketch or pattern for work;
• make a list of materials and equipment;
• purchase everything you need;
• spend time making the thing itself.

But all this outweighs the large number of advantages of such presentations.

1. Handmade gift is an amazing and unique thing. Even if you have already made such a product, it is simply unrealistic to create a completely exact copy of the previous copy.This is the uniqueness of handmade items.
2. For people who love creativity, work is never a burden. This is a joy that is beyond praise, awards and other very interesting activities.
3. Any handmade gift keeps the warmth of the good hands of the master who created it. It is impossible to create with black and evil thoughts, which means that the thing will have a positive energy that it will transmit to its owner.
4. You can make a gift, taking into account the wishes of the future owner: a certain color, pattern, material, size. Buying a product in a store for a specific order is much more difficult than doing it yourself.
5. A gift made by the hands of your beloved friend will be carefully stored and remind you of your wonderful relationship.

New Year's souvenirs give joy and cheer up. To receive a cute little thing as a gift will be pleasant to your girlfriend.

There are a lot of options for souvenirs that you can make yourself:

• crocheted bells, angels and snowflakes;
• cute reindeer, bear cubs, owl sewn from felt or fur;
• creative funny snowmen from beads;
• all kinds of candlesticks, compositions, wreaths on tables and doors made of cones, dried flowers and nuts;
• handmade soap in the form of mittens, hats or skates;
• Christmas carved candles;
• souvenir figurines of the year symbols made of plastic or ceramic;
• Christmas toys made of cotton;
• painted plates and cups.

The easiest way to make a present on your own is to create a New Year's card from paper and improvised means, even if you don’t have effective techniques for working with paper, such as quilling and scrapbooking.

To make a bright beautiful card with a volumetric green Christmas tree inside, we need:

• thick red double-sided A4 sheet of cardboard;
• a sheet of green double-sided paper;
• a sheet of white paper;
• glue stick;
• colored pens or felt-tip pens;
• scissors.

We make the front part of the card:

• a sheet of cardboard is gently bent in half;
• from green paper, cut out a small rectangle of arbitrary size;
• so that the green rectangle looks harmoniously on the red postcard, let's make a frame for it: just cut a white rectangle a little larger than the green one;
• glue the green rectangle to white.

We make decor:

• we write New Year's wishes and congratulations on a green rectangle with felt-tip pens or a pen;
• if you wish, you can cut beautiful letters from magazines and flyers, or find cool words and phrases that fit your design, then paste them here;
• we cut the white paper into very thin strips, cut them across, glue the strip into a strip to make a snowflake.
• glue the inscription and snowflakes on the front side of the card as you like more.

We make a Christmas tree:

• fold a sheet of green paper with an accordion.
• divide the resulting accordion into 3 parts, each of them is folded in half and glued - it turns out 3 small fans;
• reduce one fan in length - cut a small piece from the top;
• the second fan is halved;
• from the cut off residue from the second fan we make the fourth fan - fold the ends of the accordion and glue it;
• it turns out 4 fans - large, medium, small and tiny.

Decorate inside:

• open the card;
• at the very bottom we glue the largest fan - the base of the Christmas tree, we well coat the outer, wide sides and firmly press them to the paper, opening the fan;
• do the same with the remaining harmonica;
• the Christmas tree is ready - if you open the card, it will unfold beautifully;
• stick white snowflakes around the Christmas tree;
• A wonderful New Year souvenir is ready.

You can make chic New Year cards using bright beads and shiny rhinestones, all kinds of shreds, threads, laces, ribbons, ropes of various thicknesses and textures. Buttons that are very similar to multi-colored Christmas balls will come in handy.

It is impossible to imagine the New Year holidays without sweets. Probably there is no girl who would not allow herself a little sweet whim during this magical time.

Pampering your girlfriend with a sweet surprise is a great New Year gift option.

We offer several options for sweet presents.

Cookies with ginger, cinnamon and lemon peel in the form of stars, houses, Christmas trees, various animals - a traditional New Year's treat. When baking cookies, make a small hole in each, and when it cools down, paint with colorful glaze and thread a thread or a thin colored ribbon into the cookie.

These famous gingerbread cookies, so beloved by everyone, are a symbol of the New Year and Christmas in Russia. Bright, honey, painted gingerbread cookies will cheer up your girlfriend and create a wonderful atmosphere reminiscent of a happy childhood.

You can make a whole New Year's wreath by attaching there not only cookies, but also small apples, nuts and sweets. It will be not only a treat, but also an excellent interior decoration.

If you are a master of this amazing art, make a bouquet of sugar flowers for your girlfriend. It is amazingly beautiful and delicious.

If you know how to bake perfectly, then you simply have to make your girlfriend happy with New Year's cake. Bake a proven, favorite option in your family, decorate the product in the New Year's style - draw New Year's balls, Christmas wreath, snowman.

Sweet design is a wonderful and fascinating work. Bouquets and compositions of sweets are a very stylish decoration of the interior and a great find for a gift for a sweet tooth.

If you have never made such bouquets, it does not matter. It's never too late to start. An interesting and very simple version of a present made using the sweet design technique is a Christmas tree made from a bottle of champagne.

To make a sweet Christmas tree, you will need:

• a bottle of your girlfriend's favorite champagne;
• green tinsel;
• glue gun and rods for it;
• corrugated paper;
• candy.

Prepare the bottle:

• wrap champagne with a piece of corrugated paper so that it fits tightly around the bottle - if necessary, the decoration can be removed;

• wrap the bottle again and glue the paper along the seam.

Create a Christmas tree:

• take tinsel and gently stick, wrapping rings around the bottle;
