Gift wrapping is not a cheap service. For making, albeit beautiful, but made of extremely cheap materials, a box with you may be asked for an amount equal to almost half the value of the gift wrapped in it. Isn't it easier to make such a package yourself?
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the right box itself. Although it should be spacious, it should not be much larger than the gift to be wrapped in it. Be sure to remove any markings from it that are not related to the gift. Who likes to receive, say, a picture in shoe boxes? It is best to paint the box with spray paint and dry thoroughly. Then you can overlay templates in the form of, for example, a maple or other sheet (a real sheet is also suitable), letters, various shapes, apply a second layer of paint, and then carefully remove the template.
Step 2
Place the gift in the box so that it is not damaged while you carry it to the addressee. Use holders bent out of cardboard. It is best to donate equipment in the presence of the original packaging, with the preservation of all the shock-absorbing elements. Such a box, of course, does not need to be repainted, since its design matches the content.
Step 3
Now prepare special wrapping paper in the desired color. You can buy it ready-made, or you can make it yourself. To do this, take regular thin paper of the size corresponding to the size of the box (sometimes you may even need A1). Despite its insignificant thickness, and therefore great flexibility, the paper must be strong.
Step 4
Now pour a mixture of water and ink into a spray bottle (always one that you don't use on plants!). Spray this mixture from a distance of about half a meter onto the paper two to three times, then let the resulting fancy small spots dry.
Step 5
From a sheet of homemade or ready-made wrapping paper, make a roll of the box with a small margin. Carefully wrap the box in this reamer, slightly tucking up those strips that remain when choosing a stock. Try not to use scotch tape. Then tie the box with a ribbon and bow. Choose the color of the ribbon depending on the gender of the recipient. And now you can safely go to him to hand over a gift.
