Anna Lyubimova

A watch is a great gift for any occasion. Birthday, wedding, signing a contract, name day - it doesn’t matter what kind of holiday a person has, a chronometer will always be appropriate. And if you also package it in a special way, the gift will be impossible to forget. We will try to tell you how to do it in an extraordinary and beautiful way.

Watch packaging options

Some may think that wrapping a watch as a gift is as easy as shelling pears. After all, they are always sold in a branded box, and if you also tie a beautiful ribbon on top, then “voila” - the gift is decorated and ready to be presented. That's how it is, but that's how it is option will do only if necessary just hand over the chronometer to a person who means nothing to you.

Well, if you plan to congratulate someone near and dear with the help of walkers, then you will need a special approach and special packaging

So, instead of buying a standard box, you can make unusual packaging, resembling a prism in shape:

To do this, select a square piece of cardboard, colored or wrapping paper.
We draw it diagonally and fold it. We bend the corners towards the middle.
Next, we draw arcs to the deflections of the main square and cut off the extreme corners.
You need to pierce holes on the rounded corners, thread a ribbon through them and form a bow.

Place your chosen watch in such a box and believe that the packaging will not leave anyone indifferent.

You can also pack the chronometer in a felt box you made yourself. It is done as follows:

Draw nine rectangles on colored felt. Cut off the extreme ones.
Show all your imagination and decorate the front side, and build a box from the walls and sew it.
Since it will be extremely difficult or even impossible for you to make internal seams, they can be applied from the outside using multi-colored threads, turning this idea into a design solution.

To make the packaging have an element of mystery and intrigue, you can make several different boxes, put a watch in one of them and place it in another box, and that in another

By the time the birthday boy gets to the main box with the gift, his interest will be at its peak.

The can is a real trend

If you don’t have the desire or lack the skill to build a box, then you can pack the watch in a glass or plastic jar. Today this is a real trend. Find small transparent or white container, line its bottom with paper straws and colored threads, put a watch, decorate the jar with ribbon - and a first-class package is ready.

You can wrap the box with the watch in a newspaper, but not in the old one that you put aside for washing windows, but in the one on the pages of which there is a feature article. Headings can be a kind of hint. Wrap the box, decorate it with additional lace, beads or thread and you can proudly present the gift.

Clock on a cushion

The most common packaging option for watches is a special small pillow. Often this is where accessories are sold in stores.

But it's better to make a watch pillow on one's own, so you can demonstrate your true attitude towards the person for whom the gift is intended:

The best material for such a pillow is panvelvet. From it we cut out two rectangular pieces measuring 11 cm x 14 cm.
Inside front side We fold both rectangles and fasten the blanks with sharp tailor’s pins.
Sweep the seam along long side. We sweep one of the seams along the short side completely, the other - halfway.
Using an overlocker we sweep away all the seams. If you don’t have an overlocker, then an ordinary sewing machine will do.
After removing the basting threads, we tie knots at the remaining ends.
Iron the pillowcase.
Turn it inside out, carefully straightening the corners.
We use holofiber as filling for the pillow. We fill the pillowcase with it, helping ourselves with a pencil.
Once you have stuffed the pillow evenly, fold the edges of the panvelvet inside. Secret sew the seam by hand hole.
Beat the pad and spread the filling.

All, charming watch cushion is ready. Now all that remains is to attach the accessory in the middle and you can present it to the hero of the day.

Packing a wall clock

If it happens that you will be sending a gift by mail to another city, then you should fold it so that the arrows of the dials are not damaged during transportation, since they are extremely fragile. We've figured out how to pack wristwatches, now we just need to find out how to pack them Wall Clock. After all you can give them too:

Take a corrugated cardboard box. Cut out a piece of foam that matches its size. Make a slot in the foam for the mechanism.
Place the watch in the box so that its mechanism fits exactly into the hole made.
Cut a few more pieces of foam and place it on the sides of the timepiece. Make sure it is located above the arrows.
Make a foam pillow at the bottom as well.
To fix the foam, glue cardboard on top of all three parts.
Close the box, and to ensure everything sticks securely, place a press on top.
Additionally, wrap the box in craft paper.

This packaging will deliver your gift safe and sound..

If you are not going to send your gift anywhere, but just want to wrap a box with wall clock into gift paper, then try to cut the sheet along the entire width of the roll so that there is no small piece left. Make sure that the seam was not in the center of the box, and along its side. Do not leave the cut uncurved. Instead of ordinary tape, give preference to paper-based double-sided adhesive tape.

Now that you know the basic rules of packaging, let's find the right wrapping paper. A win-win– this is craft or any modern wrapping paper. The pasted box can be tie with woolen thread or twine, and you will have an original package. As additional decorative elements use cones or pine branches.

Instead of gift paper, you can use decorative fabric. It is originally combined with fresh flowers. As decor use beads, cones, ribbons and lace.

You can also decorate the packaging with homemade original tags. A homemade tag can act as a sweet message. Write something pleasant and gentle on it - warm words of congratulations, a creative poem. Anyone will appreciate this approach to present design.

And to be even more creative, instead of cardboard tags you can use edible ones: chocolate figures, fragrant cookies

Options for presenting a watch to your loved one

Girls often decide to give their chosen ones exactly wrist watch so that they are always reminded of their love. But simply handing an accessory to a guy is not at all romantic. Any woman wants to give a watch to her loved one in an original way.

Men's watch, OKAMI(price on the link)

So it is possible:

Pack the souvenir and put it in a storage box. Then send the guy an SMS with the cell number and code. He will be shocked by such a creative solution.
Make a map where the path to the “treasure” will be presented in the form of images and pictograms.
Develop a hint system. Write notes with clues about where the souvenir is located and place them near the alarm clock, in the refrigerator, in a coffee can, in clothing pockets. In the last note, indicate the specific location of the accessory. Complete all messages with playful phrases.
Tie a box with a chronometer to helium-filled balloons and bring such a balloon into the room when your loved one is still sleeping. When he wakes up, he will be shocked by what he sees.
Ask a child to bring a gift and give it away with the words “This is for you!” Your gentleman will definitely not expect this.
Instead of simply giving away a gift, you should allow its future owner to accidentally stumble upon it. The watch will fit perfectly into any environment, and therefore this approach will work perfectly. The recipient will be perplexed at how it was possible not to see this item before.

Choose the most the best way and surprise your lover.

Verbal accompaniment

You can attach a written congratulation to the watch package or say something pleasant orally. Beautiful words the gift will emphasize your attitude towards the person to whom it is due.

Write on a postcard, for example, the following words: “They say that happy people don't watch clocks. Don't look at them often either. Just wear them as a reminder of me.”

Or: “I present you with a wonderful watch. They are incredibly beautiful and accurate. Now, with virtually no delays, you/you will/will come to every date/meeting.”

Photo cards for your loved one

Say or write: “I give you a watch, I wish you to be on time everywhere. A chronometer will always help you be here today and there tomorrow.” Or: “You are my reason to be happy and my reason to smile.”

The following words would also be suitable: “So that you always keep time under control, I will give you a watch for many years. Let them count joyful minutes, and let the arrows draw only happy routes. Let this accessory help you keep up with everything and complete all your tasks on time.”

Write: “Our life goes by so quickly. But everyone wants it to be endless. Therefore, I give this watch so that it is you who manage time, and not you.

How to sign the accessory itself?

If you give someone a timepiece, you don't have to sign the card or include a congratulatory note in the box. You can directly sign the watch as a gift, that is, make an engraving on it. Inscription should be short, but capacious.

remember by looking at your watch, and when you remember, look at it;

Buying a gift is not an easy task. But, as practice shows, it is even more difficult to present it correctly. Packaging can either ruin or enhance a positive impression. Want to know how to do it beautifully? And so that it doesn’t take much time... Then here are some original tips for you.

Idea 1: Paper retro

The good thing about this idea is that it requires minimal time and expense. And the result you get is worth a million! There is no need to look for rare materials and spend a lot of money. Everything you need is already at hand or in the nearest stationery store.

Kraft and any wrapping paper- excellent material for gift wrapping. Tie the gift with thin twine or woolen thread, and you will create an imitation of the parcel (you can even sign it accordingly). Add a sprig of pine needles, a pine cone or a bow and you're done.

Newspaper - another packaging leader. Don't underestimate her, she is capable of amazing transformations. Choose the oldest one you have, or choose something new, but thematic. Use headings, they can convey your congratulatory message. Combine it with ribbons, beads and even lace.

Posters, invitations, postcards, calendars and even guide maps: All your paper supplies are suitable for creating unusual packaging: Choose pages with bright colors, beautiful font or interesting theme. Feel free to combine them, cutting out the elements you like. You can complete your creation with an original badge or a suitable sticker. In such creativity everything is useful.

Musical notation. Perhaps you have a musical family or you need to give a gift to a musician - wrap his gift in notes. A small bow and bells are a great addition to this festive packaging. A treble clef, figurines of instruments and sheet music would also be a good decoration for a gift for a musician/music lover. If you don’t find one, draw or make a thematic applique. Remember this winter holidays and a snowflake or spruce twig wouldn't hurt.

Idea No. 2: New Year's decor

Use the principle “everything is useful on the farm.” Collect pine cones, fir branches, beads, ribbons, bells and old Christmas tree decorations. This arsenal will help create a true holiday.

Everything ingenious is simple. To create beauty New Year's decor Just plain craft paper, twine and fir branches with cones are enough. Nothing superfluous and nothing complicated. Beautiful and tasteful.

Ribbons and scissors will be a good helper in creating decor. Cut out New Year's figures from cardboard or paper and decorate your gift packages with them. Bright accent There will be a contrasting ribbon of saturated colors.

Don't have time for long decorations? Scissors will help here too. Cut out a beautiful snowflake from paper and decorate your gift with it. You will be surprised how beautiful it will look.

Idea #3: Magical Draperies

A good alternative wrapping paper can become decorative fabric.

When wrapping your gift, you can use not just beautiful or decorative fabric, but also combine it with fresh flowers. You can also decorate such a gift with a spruce branch and pine cones. Perhaps you have suitable strands of beads or lace ribbon in your stash. Get creative for your health!

If you have chosen your favorite drinks or special wine as a gift, such a gift can also be draped to advantage. Choose a bright napkin or scrap of fabric with an interesting print, and then twist and tie knots. You will definitely come up with something interesting.

You will look even more original if you wrap one gift in another. For example, a book purchased as a gift can be wrapped in a scarf or scarf chosen as another gift. You can take your textile draping experiments a step further and wrap gifts in purchased T-shirts, shirts and other gift items.

The main decoration of the packaging may not be the abundance of decorative elements, but the original color of the fabric. In addition, it is not necessary to wrap a gift using the classic “envelope” method; you can make candy out of it, or some other interesting object. You can create an animal or a doll. Experiment!

Idea No. 4: It's in the bank

Find a beautiful jar in your bins, with a texture or an unusual shape. She is the main object.

Of course, the most popular filling for a gift in a jar is sweets. The lid can be decorated with a flap beautiful fabric and tie it with decorative rope, in the style of rustic preparations.

Nowadays, DIY gift wrapping is actively becoming fashionable, and I decided to figure out what’s what - let’s find out what trends there are in gift wrapping, what you should focus on, and how in general you can pack a gift for any holiday with your own hands.

Trends

Nowadays, it is no longer enough to wrap a gift in gift paper - gone are the days when half a meter of sparkling paper with a ribbon bow was considered the best packaging. Currently, most attention is paid to three areas:

eco-style (one of its subtypes can be called rustic style);
minimalism;
eclecticism and futurism.

Eco-style gift wrapping involves the use of natural materials- natural shades, different textures, nothing artificial. In this style, packaging made of kraft paper with a bow made of ordinary twine or twine looks good; quite often gifts are tied with unbleached linen or cotton.

Minimalist motifs are always strict and restrained. Here you should be guided by one idea - the simpler the better. A minimal number of decorative elements is welcome here - for example, a gift can be wrapped in plain white paper, and a special small element made from a die-cut or a regular elegant tag can be used as decoration.

Futuristic and eclectic notes will appeal to those who prefer to combine several styles into one - there can be an elaborate, complex bow made of satin ribbons and the simplest craft paper as packaging, or, on the contrary, a complex figured box covered with natural fabric for decoration can be attached with a decorative pin.

So, what should be the design of gifts so that it is fashionable and beautiful? Unusual, stylish and neat.

Original handmade boxes

The simplest and at the same time effective way An unusual way to pack a gift is to make a cardboard box for it. How to make a gift box in four easy steps?

Scheme for the pyramid:

What is required to make this packaging?

Colored cardboard.
Ruler and pencil.
Scissors, stationery cutter.
Template (can be printed or redrawn).
Glue.
Ribbon or stiff thread.

You can also make your own gift box in the shape of a piece of cake. Almost everyone loves sweets, and a piece of cake looks extravagant and cute at the same time.

To make a piece of cardboard cake, you need to prepare:

thick colored paper or thin cardboard;
ruler and pencil;
glue.

Manufacturing will take no more than half an hour. First you need to transfer the template onto the desired colored paper - it is better to make the top brown or pink (the color of the glaze), and the bottom part can be anything. By the way, you can make a bright cake, for example, in purple or pink tones- unusual and cool! Choose any lid: with a wavy edge or with a straight edge, and the base:

The box is made of two fragments, the lower part should be smaller (literally a couple of millimeters in each direction). We cut out the blanks and transfer them to colored cardboard.

We do the creasing (we draw a line along all the folds with a knitting needle until grooves form - this will make the folds smoother).
We glue the blanks according to the allowances and dry them well. Our box is ready, now the only thing left is to decorate it.

For example, you can make a light rose out of paper and tie it with twine.

This option is easier to manufacture. Without removable lid. You just need to print (or draw by hand) this template on a beautiful cardboard, cut where it is marked, bend where the dotted lines are, glue where it says glue, and you're done!

How to make an origami style box? You need to stock up on a ruler and a pencil, pick up two beautiful square sheets of paper (I use scrapbooking paper), and you will also need scissors. By the way, you can also use the box for your own needs - I store paper clips in one of these on my desk.

See how to wrap a gift in an original way. Try it new way, which attracts attention - your gift will look very, very unusual!

How to do it right

Packaging must be neat - cuts of paper or fabric must be even, and there should be no visible traces of glue, tape or paper clips.
It should completely hide the gift, then you can make a surprise and give the hero of the occasion not only your gift, but also a few exciting minutes of guessing and guessing what is hidden inside.
Don't forget about the decor and name card - such details always catch the eye.

How classic gift packaging is made:

This was a classic type of packaging, and now there will be an original gift packaging for a man or woman - in the form of a Christmas tree.

We will need:

packaging - it can be wrapping paper, fabric or film;
glue (for fabric) or double-sided tape (for paper);
sharp scissors;
various decor - ribbons, cutting, feathers, butterflies.

To make a braid, you will need a lot of decorative paper. So, we consider: we will need to completely wrap the box (width and allowances), and in length we will need to take 1.5 measurements of the length of the gift and 2 of its height. By the way, you don’t have to fasten the Christmas tree, but collect it in a kind of ponytail, then it’s better to take the length of your gift and multiply it by 2.5 - then you’ll definitely have enough.

As a practice, try wrapping any small box with a piece of newspaper or plain paper - this way you will understand how to fold the folds, where to lay the tape and practice a little.

This way you can make packaging for anything - it could be a large box of chocolates and an ordinary book, a set of cosmetics or a plush toy.
