How to pack a great gift?

A great gift is always positive emotions, but also a special problem with packaging. Often a large thing like a pillow does not fit even in the most voluminous bag, and the wrapping paper is too small to wrap the present in at least one layer. So, how do you pack large gifts to make it look aesthetically pleasing? Let's look at a few ideas on how to do this in an original and practical way.

The word “ordinary” in this article means a large, but not excessively thing: kitchen appliances, a huge plush toy, a TV, a nightstand or a table on wheels and other similar items. How to pack them properly?

• The option that immediately comes to mind is a large box. It can be pasted at your discretion - the same sheets of gift paper or different, making of them a kind of patchwork pattern. In addition, the box can be painted with gold or silver paint from a spray can. The box can be decorated as you want - to paste over with a newspaper, magazine clippings, you can print a birthday photo and stick it to the surface, accompanied by a gift inscription or name tag.

The decor of the box is better to do as the donee loves. If he or she is a fan of comics, find wrapping paper with a wonder woman or spider-man, and if the girl is crazy about the series about little ponies, please her with such a wrapper. A lover of the sea will love the thematic packaging with anchors and steering wheels, tied with coarse twine. As for intellectuals, find craft paper. A sophisticated, refined lady will delight in silence or paper with a silk base.

• If the box is pure white, does not contain any inscriptions and stamps, you can leave it like this by wrapping it with a beautiful red or gold ribbon and gluing a huge bow on top. You can also attach a name tag or postcard to it - finished or made with your own hands. A bow can also be made with your own hands from a beautiful wide ribbon or fabric. The technology of the original double bow ties can be found on the Internet. You can also learn not only how to make bows, but also flowers from fabric, decorating them with a box. A huge fabric or paper flower is a great decoration for a presentation.

• If appropriate, you can put the gift in a packing bag. For example, if the addressee is a child, and the holiday is New Year's. You will have to sew the bag yourself or order it at the studio, but it's worth it. Firstly, the packaging will be an additional gift, and secondly, this is a truly exclusive option. For those who are completely lazy or who have delayed the purchase of a gift and have absolutely no time, you can offer this option - buy a piece of fabric that is suitable in size, place a presentation in its center, connect the ends at the top and tie a beautiful bow.

• You can arrange a present without a box, in one paper. To do this, you need to take several sheets of wrapping paper, connect them with adhesive tape on the inside. You can take sheets with the same or different print. After this, you need to carefully wrap the gift with the resulting sheet, fix the joints and tie it with a ribbon or bow. It is better to choose a fairly wide and bright ribbon, because of the large size of the presentation, excessive decor does not threaten him. Nevertheless, an abundance of prints should be avoided so that your present does not turn into a motley huge cul.

There are also huge presents. They are not something to pack, they are often not lifted alone. This includes refrigerators, washing machines, weapons safes, cars, after all. The options for how to beautifully present this kind of present are those.

• Large cut of fabric. Given the huge size of the subject, wrapping it in the material will not work. It will have to be thrown for a gift, and at the right time to effectively pull it off. It’s better to rehearse so that the gesture comes out light and beautiful. If the present is huge, an assistant will be needed. Otherwise, the fabric will become tangled or hooked, a stunning impression will not work.

• You can don’t wrap the present at all, but decorate it with a giant bow. Of course, it should be bright - red, raspberry, orange. Most often, paper is not used for this purpose, but specialized synthetic material or fabric is taken. Fasten it through special mounts that do not leave marks on the surface. You can also additionally decorate the gift with balloons with appropriate inscriptions.

• If time and effort allow, you can make packaging manually from gift paper. You need to take a large number of sheets, connect them from the inside. You should get a canvas that completely covers the present. This idea is suitable for both a tall and a long gift. If the gift is high, then the sides of the canvas must be connected using tape so that it looks like a cylinder. They put it on a gift or, if it is, for example, a refrigerator, you can fix the packaging directly on the subject. You can create a drapery or give the packaging a fancy shape, if the dimensions of the resulting sheet allow.
