DIY jar with wishes “100 reasons why I love you” for your loved ones

Checkbook of wishes

This idea will definitely make the relationship more interesting. This is the most unusual and original gift for a guy, as it makes wishes come true! The essence of this gift is that on each page of the checkbook you need to write little “nice things” that you will need to do to the guy upon presentation of the check. One check fulfills one wish . The book usually has up to twenty pages.

Examples of wishes for a guy

Beer with friends;
Picnic in nature;
Relaxing massage;
One Hundred Kisses;
Play computer games all day;
Fulfillment of his every desire.

A guy will definitely like this book, it will help awaken his imagination, and will leave a lot of pleasant memories.

DIY snowman made from cans for the New Year

Let's start with design ideas. As always, everything ingenious is simple. I liked the idea of assembled glass snowmen, like those shown in the photo. Glass jars for baby food will be used as a basis (usually there are many of them in every family). And if not, then run to the store for applesauce or fruit puree - both tasty and healthy!

Master class No. 1. Snowman

Let's take:

3 jars,
thermo gun,
acrylic paints,
sock,
scissors,
sweet fillings (cocoa, marmalade, marshmallows).

Let's start the craft. Take 3 baby food jars. We remove the labels from them. Let's dry.

Now we take acrylic paints - white, black and orange. On one jar we draw a snowman's face.

The rest have black buttons.

Now screw them on with their lids and use hot glue to glue the bottom of the jar with the lid.

Let's make a hat from a sock. To do this, take a NEW bright sock and cut off the part with the elastic band. We sew the side that is cut from the wrong side.

Now we take woolen threads and make a pompom. Sew it to the hat. We fix it to the lid on the snowman's head with glue.

Now let's fill the jars with goodies! We put cocoa in one, marmalades or MMS in the second, and marshmallows in the head.

I also decided to add an even more lightweight idea for packaging from a glass bottle.

Just decorate it with ribbons, braid, pine cones and other decor and fill it with goodies! It is very unusual to receive such a gift. Even adults are happy, because we are all little children at heart.

Universal Wishes

For general holidays, you don’t have to bother yourself with preparing separate bags, but make a universal set of wishes. By the way, if the celebration is planned in a circle of loved ones, then you can “figure out” one handbag for all the guests. If we are talking, for example, about a corporate party, then you will have to do it for each participant.

Have some fun!
Be healthy!
For cheerfulness!
Let's have one more, okay?
To awaken your brain!
Relax!
Inspires you to do great things!
From pressure!
For tone!
Don't make a fuss!

DIY candy pineapple with surprise

I don’t know about you, but for some reason it’s popular for us to give pineapples and coconuts for the New Year. Well, since the idea is not new, we will use it. We won’t just buy ready-made fruit, we’ll make it ourselves.

Master class No. 5. Candy pineapple with a surprise inside

Let's take:

glass jar,
small candies,
large round candies in golden wrapper, Ferrero type,
green felt or cardboard,
thermal gun.

Take a glass jar of baby juice. Remove the label with water.

Pour small sweets or marmalades inside.

Now we take the candies in golden packaging. We will fix them on the bottle. This should be done from the bottom edge in rows. So we move to the top.

Then we cut out oblong leaves from green cardboard and decorate the neck of the bottle with them.

That's all. This gift is quite expensive, you can see for yourself what kind of candies were taken. However, it can be repeated with other flavors. You can simply take a round treat and wrap it in foil.

What wishes can be written on pieces of paper?

Pay attention not only to the decor, but also to the content. There are a great many options for wishes, it all depends on what occasion they will be dedicated to. When starting to decorate a gift, first make a list of wishes and what you would like to say to the recipient of the surprise. DIY jars with wishes can surprise and delight the person for whom they are intended.

Have you ever received medicine as a gift? No? Is this an inappropriate gift? Isn't this tactful? What if this is not a simple medicine, but a special one? Have you heard about happiness pills? Not yet? Lost a lot! This is a great way to cheer up the hero of the occasion, a pleasant surprise for a loved one, a wonderful addition to any gift, even as the main present they will be good. Especially on holidays for which it is customary to give sweets - March 8, Valentine's Day, etc. This is a wonderful gift that has a guaranteed and pronounced effect that will be reflected on the face of the recipient immediately upon presentation. At the same time, making it with your own hands is not at all difficult.

New Year's gift "Christmas tree" made of chocolate with kinders

I also liked the idea of chocolates and kinders. This is exactly what I will bring to life this year and put it under the Christmas tree for my daughter (she really respects our Kinders).

Master class No. 2. Sweet Christmas tree

Let's take:

3 chocolates,
3-9 kinder (as much as will fit),
tinsel,
decor,
thermal gun.

We take three chocolates, preferably with one color of packaging. Glue them together with hot glue along the edges to form a triangle.

To give the structure rigidity, we cut out the background from cardboard.

It is better to choose shiny holiday cardboard in blue, red, green, gold or silver.

Now we apply our sweet triangle to the wrong side of the cardboard and trace its contours along the outside of the chocolates. Cut out the resulting part and glue it to the chocolates.

Now glue the kinders inside with hot glue.

It is better to do this in a checkerboard pattern.

If you have chocolate weighing 100 g, then the Christmas tree will contain an average of 3 eggs.

All that remains is to decorate the tree with tinsel or fuzzy wire and a star.

The craft looks very bright and festive!

Letter to the Future

Would you be interested in receiving a letter from yourself after 10-20, or maybe thirty years? The class teacher at graduation may recommend that students write such a message. Invite yesterday's schoolchildren to give advice to their 25-30 year old selves. The “cool mom” takes on the honorable mission of storing the container. The lid of the jar can be symbolically filled with wax and a wax seal placed. It will be possible to uncork the container 20 years later at an alumni meeting. Former classmates will have a choice: read their messages out loud or keep them as something very personal. Naturally, you will have to choose a larger capacity for letters. The best decor would be a pre-ordered sticker with a general photo of the class.

New Year's deer from a glass jar with candies

We really love various chocolate-covered marmalades and nuts. But we don’t indulge in them very often. Therefore, this is a good idea for a gift, but they need to be packaged beautifully. And for this I propose to make such a funny deer.

Master class No. 4. Candy in a jar with a deer

Let's take:

jar,
candies,
felt,
thermo gun,
fluffy wire,
elements for eyes and nose.

Again we need a transparent jar. It is better to choose those that have sloping sides. They can be glass or plastic, it doesn't matter.

Now cut out a strip of at least 4 cm wide from brown felt.

If you have a label, then the width of the strip should be at least as wide as the width of the label. The length is equal to the diameter of the can.

Glue the strip to the place where the label was or is. Now we draw or glue the finished eyes and nose. Pompoms and beads can serve as them.

We twist the horns from shaggy wire and fix them on the lid of the jar.

Place your favorite candies and marmalades inside. And we're all ready!

Look, I found an even simpler idea that doesn’t even require felt!

A very unusual solution! Also, such packaging can become a decoration for the New Year's table.

Original packaging for chocolate

I also suggest giving chocolates to good people! But not simple ones, but decorated in the form of snowmen. Not corny and very uplifting!

Master class No. 6. Packaging "Snowman"

Let's take:

chocolate weighing 90-100 g,
album sheet,
sock,
markers,
glue.

We will need a chocolate bar that has a neatly folded edge, like the Russian one.

Wrap the chocolate in a sheet. Gently press the folds with your fingers to create a shape. We glue the cuts from the inside.

If it turns out that there is a lot of album left, then we cut off the excess. Fix the edges.

Draw a carrot, eyes and mouth. You can glue felt or beads to this place.

Now we make a hat and scarf from a sock. Cut off the part of the new sock where there is an elastic band and a heel.

We turn it inside out and sew it up.

Select the edge where there is a seam and assemble it so that you get a pompom. To do this, we tighten it with threads.

We put a hat on the chocolate bar. Cut out a scarf from the remains of the sock.

That's all! Add more cones and spruce branches to make it smell like the holiday itself.

It is also better to choose expensive types. For example, “Babaevsky” is an expensive chocolate and you want to package it accordingly. For this purpose, I advise you to use an envelope. More details are described here.

DIY sweet gift ideas

You can give homemade candies or cake pops. I suggest making simple candies - nuts in chocolate glaze. To do this, simply melt a chocolate bar in a water bath and envelop hazelnuts, cashews or peanuts in it.

A cake pop is a cake made from sponge dough, it is very tasty and is always placed on a stick. And now you need to tinker with them! You will find many recipes and the process of making them in a separate article.

Therefore, I will not provide recipes here, I will only show photo instructions with step-by-step actions.

Of course, you can make lollipops like cockerel very easily. For this you only need lemon juice, sugar and water.

Use this recipe: granulated sugar – 10 tbsp, water – 10 tbsp, lemon juice – 0.2 tsp.

Everything is boiled to a viscous consistency and poured into a mold, where the candy hardens. To give the candies the desired shape, you can take cookie molds, ice containers, or cut out a shape from cardboard.

Not everyone can eat a lot of sweets. That's why I propose the fruit idea. What's New Year without tangerines? And there are never too many of them!

Make a Christmas tree out of them.

Or a bouquet. What does New Year smell like? Cinnamon, vanilla, pine needles, oranges, tangerines and lemon.

So combine it all in one bouquet.

Kids can experiment with marshmallows.

These marshmallows can be placed on cream and on cupcakes or cookies.

Very cool gifts are made from cheap sweets! We took pretzels and marshmallows. Dipped it in glaze and it turned out to be a deer.

A similar idea, but with an Oreo cookie on a stick.

We repeat the same idea with berries.

And experienced housewives can bake gingerbread and decorate them.

Each one is also individually wrapped. By the way, you can use any homemade cookies that you are good at. Decorating is not a problem at all now - there are many types of glaze that do not crumble.

This idea is, of course, more complex. But what if she also inspires someone?

Gingerbread houses are always popular.

Of course, you can depict the symbol of 2022 - the Pig.

I think that from all of the above you can put together many different gifts. But you and I don’t stop and move on.

Good mood bag

What an amazing certificate you can make using scrapbooking technique! The main assistants in the process of preparing a gift with your own hands are your imagination and sense of humor. Jokes should not exceed ethical standards. Let everything be a little naive, with childish spontaneity. To make such humorous gifts, you don’t have to wait for a specific holiday. Please your loved ones or work colleagues, make them laugh, lift their spirits on an ordinary weekday. Pleasant and funny little things made with your own hands will not leave anyone indifferent. Let all your joke gifts turn out to be fun, interesting and long-lasting!

Mini gifts with lollipops

ABOUT! Now let's talk about what to do when you need to give gifts to a large number of children. For example, a child in kindergarten has many friends and wants to congratulate everyone. This is exactly the case for us! My daughter and I found a way out - we made a deer with lollipop. It turned out very inexpensive and cheerful!

So, you need to take mini lollipops. Here they cost 5-7 rubles.

We transfer the diagram onto a thick sheet of paper, but you can print it out.

It’s better to take thick sheets, my daughter and I tried it - album sheets tear easily. Still, the child does the crafts, too.

Now we cut a place for the chupik - inside the deer and a hole for the stick.
We color the horns and eyes. Decorate the face and let it dry. We insert the chupik and glue the horns with glue. Decorate with tinsel or bows.

We got such a cute look.

You can make Santa Claus using the same steps.

I also suggest putting together a mini-present. We take beautiful bright festive cups. We put sweets and lollipops inside. We wrap all this deliciousness in transparent gift paper.

We fasten the top with tape, a stapler and decorate with ribbons.

The same gifts can be used to give gifts to children in kindergarten on Birthday.

Gift tags

We bought or prepared sweets by hand and distributed them among gifts. Now all that remains is to sign who they are addressed to. And for whom we tried so hard.

Therefore, I am attaching ideas for tags with New Year’s symbols to the article.

This is especially convenient when the child made different lollipops or cake pops. I think about different people. So to speak, so that nothing is forgotten.

Thank you for your attention and inspiration! I will be happy to continue sharing ideas with you on various topics.
