Do you want to make a gift with your own hands, but don’t know how? The Ukhtybox gift service will help you! Tell us a little about the recipient of the gift, and the service’s creative team will do the rest. All you have to do is choose the perfect box from the options offered.
In the modern world, fewer and fewer people think about what to give to this or that person. Of course, today you can buy almost anything or give money as a gift. But we recommend not to forget that you can make a really good gift with your own hands. After all, any thing made with love is much more valuable and more expensive than a store gift.
What can you give with your own hands?
A similar question is faced by most people who want to do something with their own hands. To begin with, we recommend thinking about what this or that person likes. It is quite possible that you can make this a reality.
It is also worth thinking about how close the person is to you. For example, a small present for an employee at work should not be too bulky or expensive. Otherwise, it may not be perceived very correctly.
If the gift is intended for family or friends, then problems with the choice should not arise. After all, you probably know all their hobbies, dreams and aspirations. And we, in turn, have prepared a selection of stylish and modern gift ideas that are suitable for a variety of holidays.
Toys for girls
Funny soft toys always decorate a girl's room. An additional toy will never be superfluous. Soft toys are made from felt, fur or just fabric. It could be a girl's favorite animal or a pillow toy.
- Such toys are sewn using templates and filled with special pillow filling, padding polyester or silicone balls.
- You can knit a cheerful friend for a girl from nice fluffy wool.
A small soft toy with a special pocket can be used as a holder for headphones, which always get lost somewhere. A small soft toy can be used as a keychain by sewing a key ring onto it.
Decorative pillow
If you want to give a gift to a child or one of your friends, we suggest making a pillow. But not quite ordinary, but decorative, in the shape of a donut. It will be a great decoration for your room and will always remind you of you.
To make it you will need the following materials:
- felt or fleece in beige and pink colors
- threads to match each shade
- small colorful pieces of felt
- pillow filling (for example, batting)
- sewing machine
- scissors
- pins
- pencil.
Cut out two beige circles from felt. To do this, place pieces of fabric on top of each other and draw a large circle using a plastic bucket or other container. Then draw a small circle in the center, outlining the plate.
Another pink circle should be a little smaller. To make it resemble the icing on a donut, let's make its edges wavy.
As a topping we use multi-colored pieces of felt, cutting them into small strips. We attach the blanks to the pink circle with pins.
Sew on the colorful pieces and then pin the pink felt to the beige base.
Using a sewing machine, sew the pink part along the edge.
We connect the beige rings and sew them with a zigzag. Be sure to leave a small hole to fill it.
We fill the pillow with batting and that’s it, a beautiful gift is ready!
Depending on the hobbies of your family and friends, you can make a variety of pillow options.
Real players will be delighted with this pillow!
Cute pillows in neutral shades will be the perfect decoration for a child's room.

Thread painting
If you want to congratulate a person who loves different home decor items, then try making a picture.
To do this, you don’t need to be able to draw, because you will need completely different details:
- wooden plank
- nails
- hammer
- threads of any shade
- paper for drawing.
Draw a big heart on paper. We place the drawing on the board and nail the nails along the contour at intervals of 2 - 2.5 cm, after which we remove the paper.
We tie the end of the thread to one of the nails. We weave the thread in random order from one nail to another. We do this until the entire space is covered.
We fix the thread on one of the nails.
A beautiful picture in the shape of a heart is ready. Every person will definitely like such a gift, as it will perfectly complement the interior and will remind them of you.
Depending on preferences, interior style or a person’s hobbies, you can make a picture with a different design. Beautiful and unusual examples are presented in the photo.
Postcards
The tradition of complementing a gift with a postcard with warm words and tender congratulations arose a long time ago. Such a congratulation can be easily created from scrap materials.
The simplest option would be a sheet of paper or soft cardboard folded in half. Flowers, images of yachts, fruits, a cozy house are drawn or glued on top. It's who likes what more. Ordinary or poetic messages are written inside.
Unusual bows made of satin ribbons, airy buds made of corrugated paper, and curved lines of the edges of the craft will help diversify the usual card. To create such an unusual creation, you can purchase special tools and paper for scrapbooking, or you can start by using ordinary ribbons, leftover beads, sequins and all other decorative elements.
Stylish bracelet for your sister or girlfriend
As you know, girls are real fashionistas. That is why a homemade decoration is an excellent gift for any occasion.
To make such an accessory you will need:
- simple thin bracelets
- beads or garland of beads
- Super glue
- threads of any shade.
Glue the beads to the bracelet with superglue. We wrap each bead with thread several times. Finally, secure the thread with glue.
You can make several bracelets in different shades to make them easier to combine with clothes.
By the way, as an addition to such a gift, you can make a small tray for bracelets and other accessories. Just follow the instructions in the photo.
Decoupage box
Using the decoupage technique, magnificent, sophisticated products are created that are not ashamed to give to your mother. For work you will need an untreated wooden box, napkins with a floral pattern (this will become the highlight of the program), white acrylic paint, PVA glue, and a bowl.
The box can be pre-sanded with fine sandpaper - this way the paint will adhere better.
Procedure:
- Mix paint, glue and water in a ratio of 1:1:3 and cover the outer surface of the box with the mixture. To get an even white color, the primer is applied in two or three layers.
- Cut out flowers from napkins and think about how to arrange them on the lid and walls.
- Glue the flowers to the dried surface using diluted PVA glue - take two parts of glue to one part water. First cover the lid with flowers, then, after drying, cover the side parts one by one.
- Cover the entire product with the remaining adhesive solution on top of the flowers to secure the result. If possible, apply several coats of clear varnish to the dried adhesive layer for added smoothness and protection.
Such thoughtful DIY birthday crafts look expensive and elegant.
Beach bag with original print
A gift in the form of a bag with an unusual design will definitely surprise even your best friend. You can sew it using cotton material or purchase a ready-made one-color bag.
Acrylic paints are best suited for creating a picture. You can draw by hand or use a stencil, as shown in the photo.
Bouquet of sweets
If you are invited to a party with a person who has everything, don’t worry, make an original composition of sweets. Believe me, you will definitely like such a gift and will attract the attention of all guests.
In order to make flowers, you will need:
- candies
- corrugated paper in different shades
- scissors
- transparent mica
- skewers
- strong threads.
Cut out four pieces from different shades of corrugated paper, as shown in the photo.
Take one of them and fold it four times.
On one side we cut off the sharp corners.
We unfold the paper and give the petals a convex shape, stretching them.
Repeat the same with the remaining pieces of paper.
Curl the edges of the petals using a skewer.
Wrap the candy in transparent mica and secure with thread.
We attach the smallest piece of paper.
We gradually add everything else.
These flowers can be combined into a beautiful bouquet or an unusual composition can be created. It all depends on your imagination.
Formation of buds
- Secure all the other petals to the main bud with tape.
- Straighten and bend the petals down.
- Wrap the base of the flower and the skewer in green paper tape.
In the same way, you can make roses of other colors, assemble them into a composition, embellishing them with additional details.
Volumetric letter
A wonderful gift for those who love creative things is a three-dimensional letter. This can be the first letter of the first or last name. It is very easy to make, as you can use cardboard or wood. Then decorate as you wish.
A gift for a true traveler
Is your loved one crazy about a certain country or just dreams of going there? We offer to help him or motivate him to travel with our gift.
Edible gift
If you don’t know the person very well or want to give a small present to your colleagues, we suggest making an edible gift. You can use literally anything for this: cocoa, nuts, homemade cookies, marshmallows and much more.
Monochrome photo frame
For the craft, take a ready-made photo frame in white or black, several white and black pencils of different sizes, black and white paint, and a glue gun.
The frame is designed very simply: pencils are glued to the frame on all four sides in three rows. With each row, the size of the frame decreases, so pencils of different lengths are needed.
This stylish, laconic frame is made in two colors: if you cannot find black or white pencils of the required size, you can take colored ones and paint them in the desired color. A black and white photo of him and his brother together is placed in a frame.
