Recently, homemade gifts for the New Year have become increasingly popular - thanks to the fact that there is more and more technology around us, people have again begun to value handmade work made in a single copy. I love making creative gifts and cards for the New Year and I want to share ideas on how you can make a gift for your mother or friend for the New Year with your own hands.
Jar of nuts
You will need: a glass jar with a lid, nuts, half a plastic transparent ball, white cardboard, scissors, glue, artificial snow, pencil, small snowman and Christmas tree (or other figures), red ribbon.
Master Class
- Trace a plastic circle onto white cardstock, then cut out a circle.
- Glue the snowman and Christmas tree onto the white circle.
- Place some artificial snow in a plastic circle.
- Glue the white circle and the plastic circle together as shown in the photo instructions.
- Glue the decoration onto the lid of the jar.
- Fill the jar with nuts and close it.
- Decorate the gift with a red ribbon.
The jar of nuts is ready!
Handmade soap
You will need: transparent or white soap base, silicone Christmas tree mold, dyes and glitter for soap, palm oil, any essential oil, board, knife, skewer.
Master Class
- Cut the soap base into pieces.
- Melt the base in the microwave or in a steam bath.
- Add a few drops of any essential oil for aroma.
- If desired, add a few drops of soap coloring and glitter.
- Mix well.
- Pour the first layer of soap into the mold and place it in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
- Make several holes with a wooden skewer so that the layers of soap adhere tightly to each other.
- Pour the second layer of soap and set it aside in a cool place to harden completely.
- Turn the mold out and remove the soap.
- Decorate the soap with glitter.

Postcard
If you think that the time to make New Year’s cards with your own hands has already passed, then you definitely haven’t seen the wonders of modern handmade. There are so many beautiful scrapbooking and craft supplies available in stores today! And an ordinary piece of white or colored paper can serve as the basis for incredible ideas.
And if you know for sure that your friend is saving money for some purchase, give her this “green” Christmas tree.
Pineapple made of champagne and sweets
You will need: a bottle of champagne, 50 Ferrerro Rocher chocolates, a glue gun, green and gold papyrus paper, scissors, tape, a sleeve, gold ribbon.
Master Class
- Wrap the bottle in gold paper and secure with tape.
- Glue the candy to the bottom of the bottle.
- Glue the candies to form the first bottom circle.
- Glue the second circle of candies, staggering them from the first bottom circle.
- Cover half the bottle with candy in the same way.
- Fold the green paper and cut out the leaf garland as shown in the image.
