An edible gift can be complicated by slightly changing its composition. For your mother, sister or girlfriend, make a box with fresh flowers and sweets for March 8 or for your birthday. Instead of the latter, you can put a bottle of wine, macaroon cookies or a can of coffee.
To make a box you will need:

- sweets;
- tissue paper, matching in color to the composition;
- cellophane or mica sheet;

If you have a small box, then it is better to use flowers with small buds, such as spray chrysanthemums or roses, gypsophila or alstroemeria. For a large box or medium sizes, any will do. You can buy them and a sponge in a flower shop.
Before starting work, the floral sponge must be cut to the desired size, and placed in a container of water for one hour so that it is completely saturated. Fulfillment of this condition will allow the flowers to delight for a long time with their fresh appearance.
If the height of the oasis matches the size of the box, cut off 3-4 cm from the top with a knife, this is necessary for a harmonious appearance, and to be able to close the box.

- organza - cut 70 * 70 cm;

Let's get to work:
When choosing sweets, pay attention to their shape. It is better to choose a rounded shape, they will be easy to use and can be easily removed from the finished flowers. Choose the quantity based on the size of the basket.
Having solved all organizational issues, you can get to work.
First, prepare the material for the buds. Cut the paper into strips about 5-6 cm long, and then cut into rectangles. There should be about 6 pieces in one strip.
From green paper, cut rectangles with the same dimensions. Only sepals need to be cut out of them (see photo 6). Twist the ends slightly with a skewer. This will make the bud look more alive.
Then, for each rectangle intended for flowers, round off the edges. Stretch the resulting blanks from the center. Before inserting the candy, squeeze one “tail” so that it is not visible from the bud.
This action will not affect the ability to safely pull the candy out of the flower.
Put the prepared candy into paper and twist it so that it is not visible, and the shape looks like a real rosebud. Now use a thread to tie at the bottom to secure the candy.
In further work, you will need a glue gun. It is mains powered, so be careful to avoid burns.
We continue to create
Let's start assembling the flower. Wrap the "sepal" around the bud and secure with a thread. Use a glue gun to glue the skewer to the base of the bud, before that, cut off the excess paper. Cover the junction and the skewer with tape.
The peculiarity of the teip tape is that by slightly stretching it, it becomes plastic and can be used to give a neat look. In order to tear off a piece of tape, it is not necessary to use scissors, it is enough to sharply stretch it.
Do this with all colors. And while they can be postponed.
Cut the organza into squares 5 * 5 cm in size. Roll it up, glue it to the skewer, and wrap it with teip tape (see photo 13,14,15). Using organza, you can close the spaces between the flowers so that the bouquet does not look "empty".
Let's start assembling the composition.
From the sponge you need to cut the base of the bouquet, which matches the size of the basket. Lay sisal on top.
Carefully insert the finished flowers and organza skewers into the sponge. Adjust the height of the skewer based on its location, shorten if necessary with wire cutters. Try to place everything very tightly.
Assemble a basket of "flowers"
The finished work can be decorated with pearls and other decorative elements, such as artificial greenery, ribbons or rhinestones.
Corrugated paper is a unique material. From it you can make completely different compositions. Show your imagination, and you will get a unique and delicious gift made by hand.
Interior gifts
Handicrafts can be not only tasty, but also useful. If you were invited to visit or for a housewarming party, then you should make a small souvenir for the interior of the house with your own hands.
Topiary
Such a gift will be an interesting addition to the interior of any room. Its main feature is that it does not require additional care, which means that it will be able to please the inhabitants of the house for more than one year.
Topiary- This is a decorative ornament in the form of a tree. The top can have a different shape, such as round or heart-shaped. And as decoration can be used: coffee beans, sisal fiber, fabric or natural materials.
To make a topiary from artificial flowers and sisal, you will need:
- a blank in the form of a ball;
- sisal in a bundle;
- snag;
- artificial flowers and leaves;
- ceramic pot;
- gypsum;
- white thread;
- glue sticks;
- glue gun;
- decorative elements.
The process of creating a topiary
In order for the topiary to turn out to be harmonious, you should first check the correspondence of the pot and the workpiece. They should almost match in diameter in size.
If you have a blank, then you do not need to carry out additional actions with it. If there is none, then you can make a ball out of paper. To do this, crumple a few sheets and give the shape of a ball. Do this with all sheets, increasing the volume. When the form is ready, wrap it with a thread, pressing the tabs of the paper, this will help to get an almost even ball.
It is better to use white sheets and white thread, so you don't need to do anything with it anymore. If a newspaper was used, then you will have to additionally paste over the ball with corrugated paper.
To make sisal balls, you need to pinch off a small piece from the bundle. Roll it with your hands, giving it the shape of a ball. They should be quite dense, if you can do this, take some more sisal and continue rolling. As a result, you should get dense balls with a diameter of about 3-4 cm.
We continue to work
You can start decorating the workpiece. Use glue to attach the sisal balls and flowers. Glue leaves and decorative elements between them. All spaces should be filled, so the topiary will look more harmonious. Leave a small empty space at the bottom, where the snag will be attached.
When you finish decorating the blank, you can begin to fix the snags. To do this, make a small hole with scissors, pour glue and insert a piece of wood. Hold your hand strictly perpendicular to the workpiece until the glue hardens.
In order for the topiary to be stable, it must be placed in a bucket of plaster.
Gypsum can be immediately poured into a pot, pour warm water and stir. As it begins to harden, put a snag with flowers. Hold it vertically until the gypsum has completely set.
If you have soiled a snag, the gypsum can be easily cleaned off with your hand or with a knife.
Decorate the pot on top with sisal and flowers, so that the hardened gypsum is not visible.
Painting in the style of string art
This work will truly surprise you. Her appearance is completely unusual and colorful. And it will be interesting and exciting to work on it.
You can choose absolutely any image in the picture: it can be an inscription or a symbol.
For work you will need:
- a small sheet of plywood;
- 2 packs of small round-headed nails;
- hammer;
- template paper;
- floss threads;
- scotch.
First you need to prepare a template. It can be found on the Internet or made in one of the photo editing programs. Print and cut out.
Before work, plywood can be painted in a neutral beige shade or use a decorative panel instead.
Attach the blank to the plywood and secure with tape so that it does not move. Now let's start hammering nails. For convenience, it is recommended to put something under the plywood so that the nail does not break through the place where you will do this.
Nails should be hammered along the contour of the letters and try to keep the distance between them the same. The optimal step is 1 - 1.5 cm. It is necessary to break through the entire contour of the word.
When you have finished hammering in the nails, the template can be removed. Now everything is ready for decoration.
With a thread, connect the nails that are located side by side in a chaotic manner, starting with the first letter. And so do until the end. Tie the end of the thread around the nail and carefully cut off the tail.

- Once the paint is dry, carefully peel off the tape. A beautiful and stylish vase with a geometric pattern is ready!

In order to make a postcard, you will need:
- colored paper;
- pencil;
- glue;
- colored cardboard;
- scissors.
The son or daughter will decorate the wrist at their discretion with pieces of colored paper, gluing them to the hand. Now you need to glue flowers on the front side of the postcard by tucking thumb palms under them, and place the rest on top of the bouquet.
Here is a gift you can make with your own hands to a child for mom, like the next one.
On the cardboard you need to draw a mug, then cut it out and decorate it with flowers from colorful paper. Cut out other flowers from it, they must be glued to the back of the mug. Even small children can make such an application.
In general, flowers are a win-win gift for mom with your own hands. Therefore, a child can make a bouquet of tulips from colored paper and give it to her or her grandmother. The scheme for creating such a flower will certainly help in this.
Older children will not be difficult to twist such flowers from colored paper.
First you need to cut a square out of it, then fold it one at a time, and then along the second diagonal, fold it so that you get a double triangle. At this stage, the blank will turn out exactly the same as when creating a tulip in the fifth figure. These paper color schemes are presented just above. Now you need to wind the first corner of the resulting triangle onto a rod or thin stick, then the second, third and fourth edges.
When twisting the petals, pay attention that they need to be wrapped in one direction.
Make 3-4 such parts, glue their edges together, leaving a small hole. In it you need to put a wooden stick, painted in green color, and a gift for mom is ready.
Flowers made of fabric on this holiday will also become a bright accent. If you have a piece of felt or an old coat, give your child a chance to show their creativity. To make such a flower out of fabric, you need to cut a circle out of it, which will become the core. Petals are glued to it. For them, you need to cut the felt into triangles. Slightly cutting off the lower opposite corners, they must be combined and glued.
Gift for grandpa and dad
By doing it, the child learns the basics of origami. Let him roll up a shirt from paper and present this present to a birthday man or a man on February 23rd.
We start creating a gift for dad, grandfather by taking a rectangular sheet of paper, bending it in half to mark the middle. We will need it, because we need to pull the right and left edges of the sheet to it.
We make the collar of the shirt by bending the upper right and left corners to indicate the sleeves. Figure "7a" shows what should come of this. Wrap the bottom, pulling it up to the collar. It turned out an origami shirt. It remains to decorate it. You can glue a pocket, cut a tie out of paper, and give a handmade gift to dad, grandfather for his birthday.
A souvenir photo also makes a great gift. Let your son or daughter make a photo frame with their own hands. For her you will need:
- red, white, yellow, black cardboard;
- scissors;
- glue;
- pencil.
First, the necessary elements of the machine are drawn on the back of the cardboard. If there are difficulties with this, enlarge this photo and redraw it on tracing paper, and then on cardboard. Further, white glass, black wheels, yellow headlights are glued to the red car. Photos are attached in the same way. On the number plate you need to write to whom the present is addressed.
A daughter can quickly sew a funny kitten out of an old sock and give it as a gift. For this you need:
- sock;
- synthetic winterizer;
- threads;
- needle;
- scissors;
- pencil or pen.
Gift of matches for a friend
If you want to give a friend a fun birthday present, then make a star or a snowflake out of matches. It's completely waste material, because usually such used items are thrown away.
Draw the shape of the future gift, cut out a piece of cardboard on it. Now you need to divide the star into segments with matches and lay out the first sector with them.
To make it easier, grease a small area of cardboard with glue, then put a few matches here tightly to each other. Press lightly with your hand for a better fit.
In this way, paste over the entire cardboard, and you can go to visit to congratulate a friend on his birthday in a cool way. If a friend is unlikely to appreciate such a joke, then you will have to spend money, but very little, only on:
- a piece of dense fabric - felt or felt;
- pencils - a set of 24 pieces;
- decorative lace.
Felt is a hard material, so it's best to soak it in hot water first, then dry it. It will become softer and more pliable to work with.
Step back from the edge of the felt 1 cm, make 3 thin cuts parallel to it, into which insert a leather cord folded in half. You managed to make a birthday present with your own hands. It remains only to insert the pencils, roll the felt into a tube, tie this scroll on a cord and hand it to the birthday man, for example, a classmate, work colleague or friend.

Now it remains to frame the guitar with sweets in 2-4 rows with your own hands for a loved one, relative or friend, gluing them.
