Useful gifts for the New Year with your own hands master class

If you want to prepare a gift for your loved one for the New Year with your own hands so that it is beautiful and practical, you can use one of the proposed ideas. By the way, such DIY gifts for the New Year for your sister are also suitable, as well as for friends who love useful gifts. Choose your option.

Pillow

Even a beginner can sew a New Year's gift with his own hands, especially if you choose a regular rectangular pillow. We cut out a large rectangle from a beautiful fabric, fold it in half with the wrong side out and sew 2 sides, after which we turn the workpiece inside out. Separately cut out any decor from another fabric. These can be flowers, hearts, geometric shapes or a pig as a symbol of 2019. We sew on the pictures and fill the pillow with padding polyester. We sew up the fourth side with a hidden seam - an original do-it-yourself New Year's gift is ready.

Socks

Warm and cozy - such gifts for your husband for the New Year can be made with your own hands by those who are friends with knitting needles. You can also knit socks without experience, but it will take much more time. If you are a beginner, start with a warm scarf - it’s easier, and your loved one will surely appreciate it. A do-it-yourself knitted gift for the New Year is also a special “clothing” for the cups. It looks stylish and unusual - such an accessory will certainly cause delight.

Decoupage

A simple technique using which you can make beautiful gifts for the New Year with your own hands. One option is to decorate a box or box. The main thing is to choose suitable New Year-themed napkins and find a wooden blank. The decoupage technique involves carefully gluing a napkin onto the surface of the box. If you are a beginner, choose the most flat surface possible, preferably rectangular or square. We dilute PVA glue in half with water, apply it to the box, apply a napkin and gently smooth it out with a small piece of soft cloth, trying to remove wrinkles and creases. We leave the box until completely dry, after which we open it with varnish. For additional decor, use lace, dried flowers, buttons or beads. Using decoupage, you can make beautiful gifts for your mother for the New Year with your own hands - in such boxes she can store sewing supplies, jewelry or small items.

Fluffy rug or panel

Many families value cozy New Year gifts; making them yourself is very easy. The work requires fluffy threads, scissors and a mesh, which will become the basis of the rug. We put four fingers of one hand together and wrap a thread on them in 20-30 layers. Remove it from your fingers, tie it in the middle and cut the edges. It turns out to be a small fluffy ball with a thread, with which we tie the pompom to the base mesh. Using the same pattern, we make the remaining soft balls, filling the entire base. Create a monochromatic rug or panel or combine shades.

To create such a gift with your own hands you need to try, show patience and imagination. But the result will definitely please you.

A relatively simple option is to create a multi-colored candle.

DIY candle in a glass

To do this you will need wax crayons, a glass glass, paper cups, essential oil, paraffin and a wick. You can find all these materials in any craft store.

1. First of all, you need to cut the crayons into small pieces. Don't mix colors.

2. Then, in a plastic cup, mix paraffin and pieces of chalk of the same color. Repeat this for each chalk.

3. Heat the contents of the cups in the microwave and mix until smooth.

4. Add essential oil with the desired scent. Citrus and pine aromas are ideal for the New Year.

5. Pour the resulting colored mass into a glass glass. Each color needs to set before you add the next one.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a candle

A more complex gift option is a thread panel. We hammer small nails into the wooden base in a certain order, and then wrap them with threads.
