How to quickly and easily, and most importantly, beautifully pack a gift? Agree, this idea comes to mind every time you need to go on a holiday and give something. From this article you will learn how to transform any present into something bright and unusual.
You have already chosen what you will present and you are ready to give a gift, but suddenly you realize that it is not packed. And there are absolutely no ideas about this. Then it’s worth remembering that any improvised material that is presentable can be used for this.
How to quickly pack a gift with your own hands?
The easiest way without showing any special creativity is to give a surprise in a gift box or in an envelope. You can use ready-made packaging boxes or a beautiful package. Or go to the gift shop and there everything will be packed for you.
However, do not rush. If you show a little creativity, then any package can be turned into a unique one, decorating it with various decorations from ribbons, fabric, cellophane, or even gifts of nature (leaves, nuts, acorns, dry berries, etc.).
There are 3 interesting packaging options for your attention.
- Take paper, foil, or cloth of such a size that it is larger than the item inside, and wrap it in a roll. Tie a thread on both sides and get an unusual packaging - candy. Both fast and original.
- Putting it in a bag. To do this, you can take as a transparent material, and color or even foil. We unfold it, put a gift in the center, collect the edges from above into a bundle and tie it with a ribbon, thread, knitted ribbon or wire (at your discretion).So, in 2-3 minutes our present looks very exotic and attractive.
- This option is suitable for those who did not have gift paper at hand. In this case, you can take kraft paper or even a newspaper, make a bundle, tie it with a cord or thread, attach a note - and the vintage packaging is ready!
If you want to beautifully arrange the container, for example, with tea or coffee, then pour the contents into a glass jar, put parchment on top and rewind the thread (as in Soviet films or cartoons), add an inscription about what is in the bank - and done!
If you want to be creative, then taking any gift box and adding some details to it can completely change the perception of surprise. For example, attach eyes and teeth to colored packaging - get a monster, decorate with a wreath of fabric or thuja - and an excellent Christmas packaging will come out.
Easy and simple ways to pack a gift into gift paper
The most popular way of packing is special paper - there are about a million different ornaments and types, but only a beautiful pattern is not enough, you also need to wrap it beautifully.

- Paper gift bag. To make it, we need parchment (thick paper) and a box. We take a box of the volume that we want to see our package, wrap it with paper and use glue to connect the sides together. We also do the bottom of the package. Then we take any paint and decorate the bag, take out the box - the bag is ready.
Add pens if we need them or wrap them like an envelope and close our product with a button.

There are a lot of techniques for making boxes, the simplest is to take a sample, wrap the parchment around the box, cut out, glue the edges, get an empty box, and form the packaging from the resulting one.
