Sweets are a traditional gift for various holidays. In order for your gift to cause a storm of emotions, it is very important to pack it correctly. The perception of the gift varies greatly depending on the packaging. Just imagine that you were presented with the most delicious candies, but in a regular package from the store. What will your reaction be? So let's see how beautiful and original pack sweets.
New Year and Christmas sweets
In Russia, it is customary to give sweet gifts to children for the New Year. Usually we buy them in ready-made form. But you can approach this issue creatively. Today there is no shortage of sweets, so it is inappropriate to give large bags of sweets and marmalades. It is much more original and more valuable to pack sweets in a beautiful box with a Christmas theme.
This will require a regular box, packing kraft paper, a couple of fir branches. Carefully arrange the sweets in the box. There may be cupcakes, and chocolate, and cupcakes, and marshmallows. Choose to fill those sweets that the one who gives the most love loves. Next, we wrap the box kraft paper. It has a pleasant beige shade and always looks very respectable. To prevent the package from opening, fasten the folds with a stapler.
It remains only to tie a beautiful ribbon and fasten fir branches near the bow.
If Christmas sweets are familiar to us, then the tradition to give gingerbread for Christmas was forgotten during the Soviet period, but today it is being revived. Beautiful themed gingerbread can be bought in the store or baked by yourself. It is very touching when the children decorate them themselves, and then present them to their grandmothers and other relatives.
You can pack each gingerbread or homemade cookies in a separate transparent bag, decorating it with a ribbon or serpentine. Such small gifts can be presented to colleagues. It will be relevant and will not hit the wallet.
Sweets in a bouquet
This is the trend of recent years. Specialized companies will provide you with such services. But is it worth overpaying if you can make such a bouquet with your own hands? It is best for a bouquet to buy candies that already have a foil package and a rounded shape. Such you can easily find by weight in the nearest supermarket. We also need long skewers, corrugated paper. The latter should be two or more colors. The first is green for the stem and leaves, the second for the decoration of the petals.
Color petals choose at will. In one bouquet, you can combine different tones. Cut out several squares from this paper and draw petals on them. To simplify the whole process, it is better that they are connected in the center. Next, each petal slightly straighten and give the desired shape. We insert one blank into another, and put our candy in the center.
Now let's do the stem and leaves. Wrap the skewer with green paper along the entire length and fix it with glue, cut and glue a pair of leaves. It now remains to collect the flower. With a skewer we pierce the center of the petals so that it enters a bit of the candy itself. It remains only to make the right amount of flowers and collect them in a bouquet. It must also be decorated in paper or gift wrap.
Boxes and cans
The choice of a particular design option sweets depends on their names.So, a small dragee, small candy without packaging and small cookies are better placed in a jar. But the purchased packaged sweets are best packed in a box. Depending on the occasion, additional accessories may be added to the box. On the New Year, you can add small Christmas decorations and tinsel. On March 8, women can enjoy sweets such as macaroons, muffins and cupcakes, which can be combined in one box with flowers.
If you give sweets to children, then the design can be approached creatively. For example, a transparent beautiful jar can be transformed into a funny little deer, a bear or a kitten. To do this, on the jar itself, glue the appropriate elements of the face (eyes, cheeks, mustache, cilia). Cover the cover with ears. They can easily be made of felt. It keeps its shape well and visually resembles felted wool. Sweet gifts for children in the boxes can also be supplemented with small soft toys.
The delight of the kids will be even greater if, in addition to their favorite marmalades and sweets, there will be a cute soft bear or kitten in the box.
Transparent film and baskets
Transparent film is ideal for packing homemade cookies, cakes and gingerbread gingerbread houses. In this case, you can not worry that it will turn black or microbes get into it. Also, transparent film is indispensable when you want to make a gift in a basket or bowl. Baskets and trays can be bought, but you can make yourself. The acquisition of a semicircular transparent bowl will be more practical. She will not hide all the beauty of the gift, in the future the hostess will be able to use it in the kitchen.
If you want to diversify a sweet gift, then you can put fruits in a bowl or box. Exotic fruits and berries will look especially original. A bowl or basket after filling with sweets must be packed in a transparent film and decorated with ribbons and a bow.
But there is no hard limit. You can fully express your imagination and create a unique author's packaging for your sweets.
Plain or corrugated paper
One of the trends of recent years has been the use of craft paper for packing flowers and gifts. It seems to send us into the past. Sometimes she even styles it as a newspaper. Such options, no doubt, will be appreciated not only by older people, but also by young people. Options for the same packaging paper today a great many. If you give sweets, you can arrange them in the form of a large candy. It is enough to place them in a cylinder (can be made from drawing paper) and wrapped in beautiful foil paper. On the sides it is worth twisting and tying ribbons.
Children will appreciate the unusual design of a gift in children's backpacks. Thus, you will get two gifts at once - both sweets and a backpack, with which you can then walk. Making sweets as a gift is a joyful and enjoyable process. Get creative with it. Do not be afraid to experiment and implement the most daring ideas.
