Numerous ideas of what to give a girl may be out of reach. But on New Year's Eve it is easy to please her with the formation of snowmen, the creation of which requires only snow, a lot of time and imagination.
Place snowmen along the path where your loved one always walks and put up a sign with her name. Make the snow figures align with her driveway or depict them with their hands raised in greeting. Such original surprises require a flight of imagination and a desire to please.
Paper flowers
Flowers made from this material are perfect for decorating a room. For them you will need scissors, paper of one or more colors and glue.
How to do:
- Fold the paper into a triangle;
- Cut off the protruding element;
- Fold the resulting square diagonally;
- The result is a triangle. Now its sides need to be brought to the top;
- Next, the bent ends of the triangle need to be moved apart;
- The result is a strip dividing the figure into two parts;
- Now you need to add the vertices of the resulting two triangles;
- A new figure emerged from them. It needs to be folded in half on each side;
- The result is a diamond-shaped petal. It has an accordion inside. Now you need to fix its middle with glue or a mini clothespin;
- Next, you need to repeat the above steps 4 times;
- Finally, glue the ends of the petals together.
If you are going to make a paper bouquet from flowers, it is better to make them have not four, but five petals. This way the product will look more voluminous and aesthetically pleasing.
Bath bombs
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. spoons of baking soda.
- 1 tbsp. spoon of citric acid.
- 1-2 tbsp. a spoonful of filler to your taste: milk powder, corn starch, sea salt, magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt, magnesia), clay, ground oatmeal, etc.

- 1 tbsp. a spoonful of additives to your taste: essential oils, dried flowers, glitter, spices, food coloring.
It is important not to overdo it with dried flowers and other bulky ingredients so that the bomb does not fall apart. Large ones, such as sea salt, should be ground in a coffee grinder. Mix all the selected and prepared ingredients; you can add food coloring to the base oil. Well, after that we play Easter cakes again. Again, any container will be useful: ice molds, plastic blisters from boxes of chocolates, yogurt cups, molds for sand or baking, etc. In this mold, our bombs must dry completely, which usually takes 12-13 hours. We carefully take it out - we can give it as a gift or try it for ourselves!

Wooden rose.
Materials:

- Knife;
- Plane;
- Scissors;
- Hot-melt adhesive or Moment glue;
- Glue gun (if you decide to use hot glue).
It, like other wood products, is made from soft wood.
The workpiece must be dry so that the product does not crack. While working, there should be a living flower or its image before your eyes.
How to do it yourself:
- Cut the shavings;
- Draw the outlines of the petals - 3 small, 10 medium, 15 large. The more of these elements, the more voluminous the flower;
- Cut them out;
- Make gaps between the edges and folds of large and medium rose petals;
- Collect the bud. To do this, you need to twist a small petal into a tube and glue its ends;
- Glue small petals to the back of the resulting tube;
- Next, arrange the middle petals in a circle. After this, the rosebud should begin to open a little;
- Large petals should be glued one third lower than the previous medium petals;
- The flower stem is cut in the same way. When drawing it, it is important to pay attention to the spikes and bends;
- In the same way, cut thin branches for leaves;
- To create a sheet, you need to cut the shavings and cut out its shape with scissors. When working on them, it is recommended to focus on the veins for greater realism;
- Next, cut out notches along the edges of the leaf;
- Glue the leaf to the branch;
- Using glue, assemble the stem, branches, leaves and bud;
- If desired, you can paint the stem, bud and twigs in a more saturated color.
Romantic calendar for your beloved
It can be done either manually or on a printer. The value of the gift will not decrease if the calendar does not look like a glossy product purchased. Prepare identical sheets for the number of months of the year and add 1 for the top cover. The folding calendar consists of 2 parts: the days of the month and a picture that becomes visible when turning the page.
To make an unusual gift out of paper, you need to decorate both sides of each sheet: draw or print calendar dates on one side, then stick romantic photos and pictures on the back. The same process is performed when printing on a printer. It is important to consider the position of the picture after turning the sheet over.
Having designed all the details of the printed product, connect them with several wire rings.
The desktop version is made according to the same principle. When assembling it, the pages are in portrait orientation, so all the images are located in the same direction. The sheets are turned from right to left, and the position of the picture does not change.
Wooden beads
To implement this creative solution you will need:
- Wooden beads or rosary;
- Accessories for jewelry with a clasp in one or three tiers;
- Brush;
- Acrylic lacquer;
- Wood stain or paint.
It is worth remembering that if the beads have three tiers, the sizes of the beads on the first, second and third layers should be symmetrically located and in harmony with each other.
How to make a wooden decoration:
- You must first apply paint or stain to the beads. It is important that they dry thoroughly before assembling the product;
- Take the three largest beads and string them onto the central part of the fishing line;
- Next, place three slightly smaller beads;
- Then string the same number of beads, but their size should be even smaller;
- In this way, collect all the decorations.
Frame
A photo frame with a photo together is an old and well-known way of showing feelings. Now in craft stores you can find many kits for decorating yourself or casting frames from plaster. But you can be creative yourself. Shells, twigs and pieces of glass will help you. For inspiration and specific ideas, check out our article on homemade mirror frames. By the way, a mirror in a beautiful frame is also a great gift. Some composition from your joint photos can also be a wonderful surprise, for example, a heart laid out from photographs on the wall in much the same way as we laid out the New Year tree.
Bouquet of sweets
Receiving a bouquet of sweets as a gift is the secret dream of any girl. Such a surprise performs two useful functions at once - it looks like a bouquet for your beloved and like a tasty treat for her.
To create a sweet bouquet you will need:
- Chocolates, candy bars, sweets (it’s better to find out in advance which ones the girl likes most);
- Wooden sticks;
- Wrapping paper;
- Scotch tape or glue;
- Small teddy bear (if desired);
- Polystyrene foam if you plan to create a sustainable bouquet.
How to create a bouquet with sweets:
- Take the bear, place a wooden stick on the back of it and carefully apply glue. The soft toy will be the central part of the composition;
- Do the same manipulations with the chocolate bar. If the bouquet consists of sweets and chocolate bars, then the largest chocolate bar will need to be placed in the center;
- If desired, cut out small petals from wrapping paper and glue them to the bottom of the candies;
- Decorate all other sweets in this way;
- After this, you can start collecting the bouquet;
- Sweets can be placed on the same level with each other, or, on the contrary, they can be arranged in the form of a ladder. Then the largest chocolate bar will be in the center, in the next row there will be smaller bars, and the smallest candies at the bottom;
- When collecting a bouquet, you need to remember that the inscriptions on the sweets should be visible and look up;
- Having completed the assembly, you need to collect the ends of the sticks into a bundle and trim them to the same length;
- Wrap them with tape;
- Stick a piece of foam into the bouquet if you want to make a stable bouquet;
- Wrap the chocolate structure with prepared wrapping paper;
- Glue its ends and secure well;
- If you wish, you can put a drop of your perfume or your girl’s favorite scent on the bear or wrapping paper.
Similarly, you can create a bouquet of soft toys.
Original light bulb with a bright heart inside
When deciding what to give a girl, choose a decorative item. Take a lamp with a large bulb, prepare a wooden block for the base of the composition and red braided wire. Carefully open the base of the lamp (filled with black plastic) and remove the spiral from inside. Make 2 wire hearts and insert them inside the flask. Secure the ends of the wires to the base of the lamp (plasticine, plaster, epoxy).
Make a recess for the base in a wooden block. Collect a souvenir using glue. If you want to make an option with a glow effect, use a hollow wooden piece where you can hide the battery and LED lamp. Bring the switch to the surface, and hide the lamp at the base of the bulb: there it will quietly illuminate the hearts.
How to give a present?
When presenting a handmade gift, you should tell the girl that this gift was made with great love and wish that it becomes her talisman or one of the most expensive and memorable things in her life.
Crafts for a girl with her own hands can be made of paper, wood, favorite sweets, soft toys. For your loved one, you can make your own flowers, bracelets, beads, bouquets of sweets, soft toys, as well as a composition of wooden or paper flowers.
