How to fold a t-shirt as a gift?

A gift dedicated to a certain event is the embodiment of not only attention and devotion, but also accuracy, completeness, symbolism, something kind and bright. And so should any present. T-shirts presented as a surprise are no exception. The size of the T-shirt is not quite suitable for the typical size and shape of small packages. Even if folded correctly, a T-shirt or shirt will not fit, for example, in the packaging from under the smartphone, from which the inserts were removed and which was pasted over with the same kraft paper.

A special paper or film will help here, folding in several layers and remotely resembling a silky fabric. It is available as a matte or shiny material, suitable for packaging simple and small surprises. A tube is also suitable as an alternative - it is used not only for carrying drawings on a paper, but also for transporting clothes.

The tube will protect the ironed clothes from being wrinkled again - the clothes elements, like any product of the textile industry, are wrinkled, and it needs to be presented as an elite and new thing, and not as a rag. For a tube, the T-shirt is folded with a roller.

In the case of complete reluctance to spend personal time on the selection and design of packaging, a decorative paper bag is suitable - these are replicated in bundles for any color and design.

Drawing, inscriptions and images are selected strictly thematically - in accordance with the event to which this surprise is timed. Business people prefer a strict style, because they are always in a hurry somewhere, they don’t have any flowers that are suitable only for family or lovers.

Round packaging is suitable for t-shirts, shirts, sweaters, scarves, mittens or mittens. In addition to the presented product, you will need decorative paper, a ribbon (rope, twine, thick threads), a piece of rope, a brooch, and scissors from tools. To beautifully fold a T-shirt as a gift using round packaging, do the following.

1. Measure and cut the desired strip of paper.
2. Divide it into several bands - it is better when there are more of them than planned. At the same time, something is formed from additional strips that helps to fix the packaged product.
3. Follow the pattern of paper cuts - it should be the same after packing the gift, as originally conceived.
4. Fasten all connected strips with a brooch, pre-puncture holes in them (in all strips at once in one step, folding them), if you use a thread. You can use decorative adhesive tape.
5. Tie the product with a thread and put it in the center - where all the strips are fastened.
6. Bring together the free ends of the strips - it is advisable to connect them in batches of 5-6, the tips to each other.
7. Repeat the same movement for the remaining batches of bands.
8. After assembling the ball from the strips, tighten the base of the structure with a twine.
9. Decorate the design with a decorative ribbon bow.
10. Attach the rest of the decoration to the packaging.

Shirts, T-shirts, overalls and sweatshirts with a collar, folding as a present, speak for themselves. We do the following.

1. A T-shirt or a similar item of clothing bought “from a hanger” in the same “Austin” or “Sportmaster” develops in the same way as a shirt originally sealed in polyethylene - with the collar outward and on top.
2. A shirt folded in a shirt is wrapped in thick cardboard - to give the gift a form.
3. The design is selected. Either according to the previous instructions, with stripes, or cut out in shape and paste the cardboard from all sides.

Alternative solutions may be as follows.

• For compaction, you can use a book or a picture, which is part of a surprise. An original paper or plastic bag is used as a wrapper.
• The t-shirt is tightly fixed in its attached form using a lace or gift ribbon. They put it on a piece of decorated wrapping paper, bend the ends and fix it with double-sided tape. The resulting package does not lose shape.
• A circle is cut out in a section of corrugated paper, then a T-shirt is folded and placed in the center of the circle, placing a solid plane of a suitable size under it. Corrugated paper wrapper at the edges is fixed using tape or special decorated adhesive tape.
• A package of color cardboard involves a preliminary printout on the same cardboard of the scheme, according to which the details of this package are cut and glued. Using a hole punch, the holes for the lace are stitched.

It is permissible to pack a women's t-shirt as follows.

1. Lay out the folded T-shirt in the form of an envelope in the center of the sheet.
2. Wrap the edges of the envelope inward and secure with tape.
3. Wrap the resulting bag crosswise with a decorative rope.
4. Place the button on the package. Pass the ends of the string through its holes and tie a bow.

For special decoration, lace, flowers, beads, etc. are used.

Men's t-shirt requires a minimum of jewelry - basically a gift is made out in a clear and simple style, using matter of a rough texture, and wrapping paper is stylized as a geographical map, newspaper clippings or office print.

A t-shirt given to a man is made out in a square or rectangular shape; a gift for a purely business man necessarily requires gift wrapping. An example is the placement of a T-shirt in a tuba and decorations in a "candy" style. A decorative bag is also suitable here.
