Ideas and ways of packaging
Retro style parcels
Those who appreciate this design, no doubt, will like the gift in the package of the parcel post. This style will require old stamps or modern designs with an antique design, as well as a colorful, thick harness.
If you originally put together several multi-colored bundles, you can get a beautiful design of semi-antique parcels with stamps pasted in the corner and a specific destination.
Decorative ribbons
For those who do not have time for the original packaging, there is a simpler and no less beautiful option - these are decorative ribbons. In any case, ribbons in different variations give a festive look to gift boxes. They can simply tie up the packaging. If you like more sophisticated decoration options, use shiny original ribbons that can be beautifully intertwined.
Multi-colored adhesive tape
A gift neatly packed in kraft paper is allowed to be pasted over with multi-color adhesive tape. This simple design style allows you to quickly and with taste to make elegant and festive packaging.
Leaves with autumn trees
Autumn leaves can serve as stamps for decoration, which allows you to make packaging material from Kraft paper more unusual. To do this, you need gold acrylic paint and a leaf from an autumn tree.
Before decorating the sheet is better to hold under the press (for example, it can be a thick book).
Dip the prepared autumn sheet in acrylic paint, attach it to the paper - and in a few minutes your original packaging will be ready. The main thing is that the patterns are unique and beautiful in any variations.
Dandelion
This flower is one of the variants of floral themes. Unusual decor is created on a small piece of foam, where cotton buds are fastened, and the stem is made of a section of a cocktail tube. With the dandelion design, complemented by ribbons, tow, laces of a certain color, the gift wrap should look like a single composition. Additionally, you can use several design options, for example, causing a pattern on paper, decorating with stamps or sparkles.
Pea
Kraft paper is one of the materials for unusual creative ideas, since different types of patterns can be applied to it. Packaging design can be decorated with "peas" using the back of a pencil and paints of different colors. This plain drawing will look spectacular and unusual.
If you prefer monochrome design methods, in this case use paint of the same color.
Hearts
As one of the decoration options - cardboard hearts. Hearts are cut out from a multi-colored cardboard and strung on a harness like a garland, then this beautiful “garland” can be used to decorate a gift from hearts, but to wrap it in Kraft paper.
The scenery "under the rope"
Kraft packaging is well suited for a rough harness. According to the step-by-step instructions, you must first carefully pack the gift, while tying it with a rope, not paying much attention to straight lines, then insert a sprig of lavender and rosemary under the cord. Alternatively, a lollipop or several cinnamon sticks tied together can be put under the harness.
Image of pictures on the package
On craft paper, you can easily draw anything. Currently, something like augmented reality is in fashion - the image continues the theme of scenery. This can be depicted as a roughly painted car that carries a Christmas tree, or a flower in a beautiful vase.
The composition can additionally be decorated with stamps, applications, stickers, and here an important condition is ingenuity.
Suspension
If there is nothing to put under the wiring on the gift box, hang something on it. It can be candy in bright candy wrappers, decorative keys, inexpensive pendants, bells, hand-made pompons, small balls and a lot of things at your discretion.
Adding a photo to a present
In place of the card "Dear Vasily" you can add a beautiful photograph to the gift with the image of Vasya. Print a couple of pictures - the process is short.
However, opt for the most cool photo, where Vasily was unforgettably beautiful and happy during this period of life.
Packaging with decorative stitches
In any idea of decorating a presentation it is important to choose a convenient and familiar technology of performance. Due to the fact that kraft paper lends itself well to sewing with a needle, gift wrapping can be beautifully decorated with decorative stitches and tied with a wide bow.
The final seal on the gift
A gift with print is impressive and creative. You can buy a print today, but it is better to make it yourself from a coin or a metal button, while sticking it onto a wine stopper. Instead of wax, you can use paraffin from a candle, beeswax or multi-colored rods from glue guns.
You can make an original seal, cutting a drawing on a cork from a plastic bottle with a soldering iron.
Crafting package
The quality and naturalness of the look of the Kraft package makes it a good material for decorating presents. The decorations on the package, sometimes even as a simple ribbon, create a spectacular appearance in a colorful style. As a variant of decoration, the top of the bag is bent and holed with a hole punch, where a tape or a cord is inserted into the holes, which can be tied with a beautiful bow. In another variant of decoration, the top of the bag can be left even and the lace secured with glue.
When decorating a gift, the imagination should not be limited to anything. It is important to take into account the wishes of the person to whom it is intended. Allowed to combine theme design with a specialty or hobbies. Gifts in Kraft for an artist can be decorated with notes of wire, for a tourist you can draw a continent or paste it by cutting it out of satin, and for those who like to read, you can beautifully decorate a present with a quote from his favorite work.
And remember, no matter how the gift is packed, make a gift from the heart and with love.
