Therefore, boldly forward - to study the science of beautiful gift wrapping for strong men.
Packaging Basics
A gift is good, but a beautifully packaged gift is even better, because there is a riddle, intrigue, a desire to find out what is inside. If a woman will be delighted with a bow or just a pretty coloring of wrapping paper, then with men it is a little more difficult.
To beautifully pack a present for a representative of a strong half of humanity, you need to follow simple rules.
- Color. Gray is boring. The female coloring is too glamorous for a real "Maine." Brown, blue, red, green - men's colors. Two primary colors and one for emphasis are suitable for an official gift. The base can be cherry, pearl, champagne, beige or terracotta. For the boss, select green and blue. White and black shades are used only together. A friend or beloved husband will enjoy the rich colors and interesting pattern of wrapping paper. Follow the rules: bright packaging - plain decor, calm colors - bright decoration.
- Gift wrapping must be neat and clear. Minimalism is what you need.
- Avoid lots of ribbons and bows.
- pay attention to hobbies, profession, age, social status of the gifted.
- Packing material.
- Wrapping or craft paper is a safe, budget, environmentally friendly material with which you can implement many ideas. Twine, satin ribbons, wooden or metal figures will serve as an excellent decor. You can use the newspaper, supplemented by a colored ribbon.
- The cloth. Wrap the gift or gift box in silk, brocade or satin - and the original packaging is ready.
- Squeezed paper. Due to the absence of ugly folds, everything non-rectangular will look great in such a package.

- tall, not flat box;

Original ideas for giving a great gift
A great gift is a great package. In this case, a giant box is needed as a decoration. To design such a presentation, use a huge cardboard box. Paste it with wrapping paper or other material, tie it with ribbon and decorate with a large bow. Instead of paper, you can simply stick on the box applications or photographs.
However, these are not all possible options - there are some more interesting ways to present a large gift in an original way.
- Containers and buckets. You certainly didn’t think of such packaging.
- Wooden boxes. Stylish things for real men.
- Baskets. First, they have a gift, and then you can use it on the farm - the so-called double present.
- You can hide a car, motorcycle or bike, throwing fabric, polysilicon film or decorative paper on top.
Do it yourself
- The easiest option is to stick a hat, glasses and a mustache or a tie and a bow tie on a gift bag or the gift itself.
- From decorative paper, glue and tape, you can make packaging in the form of a shirt with real buttons, t-shirts, or even a vest and shirt.
- Unusually looks like a gift wrapped in a men's shirt or sweater. Put the shirt on the square box in which the gift lies, fasten the buttons, tuck the sleeves down and pin with pins.
- Pack a bottle of good alcohol in a sleeve from a sweater or shirt, dress it with a beautiful rope.
- A gift in a knot looks creative. This is the Japanese furoshiki technique. A present is wrapped in a square section of bright and strong fabric, and tied at the top.
- Warm knitted packaging. Later, from it you can make a cute pillow on the sofa. You can knit or use an old sweater.
- Paste around the box with large holes and embroider what the birthday party likes, or even wishes in the form of small drawings.
- Wrap the gift in an individual print fabric. This can be done using a stencil.
- You can embroider a congratulation or decor element on wrapping paper. It’s a good idea to use a sewing machine and sew a gift into craft paper (the package can be in the form of a star, a Christmas boot, a car, etc.).
- If you draw well, you can color the packaging. Watercolor or gouache, a specific drawing or abstraction - it all depends on your creativity. Uniqueness is ensured. Do not know how to draw, and the soul asks for creativity? Use stencils, stamps and stamps.
- You can add zest to a gift by decorating it with tags made from salt dough (yes, that test that we can do from school time), or leaflets, branches, cones (especially gold-colored) painted with spray paint.
- Glue, placer spangles and double-sided tape - and you will create any design.
- Celtic knot (with the romantic name "Heart"), made of woolen threads, stylishly complement the gift. The main thing is that it is made by the hands of your girlfriend.
- Sackcloth. It seems strange, but using the right decor will make a proper impression. In such a package, it is good to give a pet.
- The present, packed in egg carriages or creatively designed glass jars, looks super-unusual.
Present to a close man or guy not just a worthwhile present, but your assessment of the uniqueness of a person’s personality and a sense of celebration.
