How to make a gift to your sister with your own hands?

On the eve of the women's holiday, it would be desirable to please everyone with their attention - mother, grandmother, sister. And if we are talking about a birthday, the gift is prepared in advance, with particular awe and care. A gift to your sister can be made with your own hands, even if you do not have any special artistic talents. All you need is desire, free time and creativity.

The original and completely non-caloric cake will surely impress your sister: given that every piece of it is filled with warm wishes, such food for the soul will not leave the birthday girl indifferent

Paper Cake - This is by and large packaging, not an independent gift.. In neat, "eye-appetizing" pieces, you can hide anything from sweets (if associations with sweets are inevitable) to jewelry.

With the help of a paper cake, you can teach your beloved sister several gifts at once (up to 12). By the way, very often this idea is picked up by young people who intend to call a girl to marry on her birthday. The birthday girl's sister can help this guy: you make a cake out of paper, and there will be a ring in one of his pieces.

Tips for making:

• in the preparation of such a cake, the landmark goes to the same color range; if you use several colors, they should not be resonant;
• if the cake is too bright and colorful, it is probably a gift to the little sister, girls and women will be cakes decorated in more soothing colors;
• all the pieces of the cake are tied with a satin ribbon in color - it fastens imperceptibly, but rather firmly;
• Try to decorate a piece of cake both outside and inside - rhinestones, beads, designer paper, sequins, buttons and so on.

By the way, modern printers quite cope with colored stationery. This greatly simplifies all the work. You can buy such printer paper individually or as a whole package. It comes either with a finished drawing, or with embossed, or monophonic.

With color you need to think: just pink or just pistachio is a bit boring. If we are going to the subject of desserts, then you can give a paper cake with the maximum imitation of the present. Taking a stationery decorative paper rich chocolate shades, you draw a chocolate cake. You can beat the strawberry dessert, ice-cream cake and even "Napoleon".

After the template is printed and cut:

• bend the paper in areas with a dotted line (they are called so - the places of bending), press with scissors, the paper will become even;
• there are places on the template that are left for gluing - do not go beyond these boundaries, use glue stick, the most accurate and easy to use;
• The last square part, which actually closes the cake, is not necessary to glue, this is done only at the moment when the gift (or wish) is put inside.

After all the pieces are cut and glued, it is time to decorate. And there are a lot of options: audit possible decorations that you already have, buy additional ones, if necessary.

If, for example, you already know how to work with crepe paper, you can decorate the cake with flowers made from it. Crepe paper produces the most natural roses and peonies, daffodils, cornflowers, and so on.And if you imitate the Soviet cake, richly decorated with roses, such decorative paper will help great.

You can also decorate the cake:

• ruffles made from bright serpentine;
• a rainbow of colored felt;
• small beads;
• rhinestones of different sizes and textures;
• bows (paper or ribbon);
• voluminous images of sweets - marmelades, marshmallows, dragees, cupcakes, and so on.

The chic décor takes on a quilling cake.

Another is not very complicated and very inexpensive option gift (as intended younger sister, and made by the hands of the younger). Casket - an essential attribute of the girl's dressing table, the room as a whole. And very often favorite store boxes are not store-type items, but amazing rework of old boxes. With your own hands the usual box can actually be turned into a designer thing!

Consider how to make a box.

• The cloth. This option is the most spectacular and most affordable. Your task is to find a fabric that will look perfect inside the box, and in addition to it pick up material that advantageously decorates the box outside. Very often, the usual chintz does a great job with such a task, and the box in the style of Provence or Country turns out well, just authentic. Bands, lace ribbons and buttons are actively used in such design.
• Self-adhesive paper under the skin. This is not just a PVC film, but a dense material, indeed, resembling natural leather. It is sold in different shades and degrees of density. It is perfectly cut, well glued, and the box will look quite natural. Inside the box you can glue with a cloth. For example, a casket of thick white leather with a red lining inside looks just superb.
• Painting. If the box is made of thick cardboard that can be easily dyed, you can take, for example, acrylic paint for wood, and properly prime the box. And then you can paint it or arrange in decoupage technique. But do not forget about the inside of the product, it should not leave any hint that the box was previously a regular box.
• Lace. You can fully trim the box with lace. Lining fabric is suitable for interior decoration. In the center of the lid you can fix a beautiful button, or make something like a brooch, any cute element that will be the final touch.

Very often, a gift in the form of an impression is remembered much more than something materially significant. If you want to please your sister, return her to childhood. For example, organize a picnic in nature. Take with you everything that you adored in childhood (even if it is not very useful) - chocolate dragees, sweet soda, chips and so on. Take with you rezinochki, in which they loved to jump in childhood: you will be surprised to learn that you remember almost all the movements.

If you have preserved magazines that were collected in childhood, great! Consider the idols of childhood, read the news of those times - it is very atmospheric. For a picnic phone, be sure to download the music that was popular in those years - for example, “Ivanushek” or “Hands Up”. Even if your sister is already over thirty, this does not mean that she never wants to return to her childhood.

In such an environment, you can present the same paper cake or casket, the holiday will be absolutely unusual, because from the beginning to the end you organized it yourself, everything was done by hand. Sometimes it is worth getting away from restaurant or standard home gatherings, replacing them with something more original and unexpected.

Gifts often take time and desire, rather than a large amount of money. I remember what comes from the heart, and where you feel your desire to please a loved one.
