Sweet gifts for the New Year: original design

A sweet gift for the New Year will delight both children and adults. But sweets in a banal package or factory packaging look boring and in no way determine the attitude towards the person being gifted. If you want to demonstrate your warm feelings, then you should work a little and arrange a gift in an original way.

Ideas for decoration

For inspiration, go to a store that sells scrapbooking and craft supplies. There you can find many cute gizmos and accessories that will give your gift an original look.

We decorate sweet gifts for the New Year: 4 easy ways

All the proposed ideas do not require large financial investments.

Sleighs with a sweet load

Such a gift will suit both a kid and someone older. For him you will need:

• 1 chocolate bar,
• 10 bars,
• 2 stick-shaped lollipops;
• glue gun.

To decorate a sweet gift, you will need striped lollipops in the form of a staff

Instructions:

1. Use a glue gun to glue the lollipops to the edges of the chocolate bar, as shown in the photo.

   

   Don't worry, the glue won't be able to penetrate the wrapper.

2. Then take bars that are the same length as the width of the base.

   

   When choosing chocolates, the main thing is that their length and height match

3. Glue four chocolates to the base one by one, three more on top of them, then two, and place one on the very top. You should get a four-tier pyramid.

   

   A sweet gift, decorated in the form of Santa Claus's sleigh, looks original, but is done very simply

Box of chocolates with christmas composition

A New Year's theme composition will transform an ordinary box of chocolates into a small masterpiece. For this you will need:

• 2-3 artificial spruce twigs;
• 1-2 Christmas balls;
• 30-40 cm of decorative tape;
• 1 sheet of shiny paper
• Scotch;
• wire;
• 1-2 spruce cones.

For decorating gifts in combination with a New Year's composition, plain paper is best suited

Instructions:

1. Cut off a few spruce branches and wire them together.

   

   Individual spruce branches are often sold in the souvenir departments of large stores

2. Add one or two bumps by attaching them with wire.

   

   Take dry and opened cones for decorating a gift

3. Also wire the balls to the base of the composition.

   

   Bright and glossy Christmas balls will give the composition a festive mood

4. Wrap the box of chocolates with wrapping paper and secure it with tape.

   

   Choose paper for decorating a box of chocolates in a contrasting color to other decorative details

5. Secure the composition on the surface of the box with tape. Decorate it with ribbon.

   

   For decorating a gift, a nylon ribbon with shiny elements is best suited

6. Decorated candy boxes need neat transportation.

   

   A little time and improvised means - and ordinary boxes of sweets will turn into a New Year's surprise

Knitted bags with sweet filling

An original, but at the same time, simple way to decorate gift sweets is to put them in a knitted bag.

A gift decorated in this style reminds of the hygge and the warm feelings of the donor.

Knitted candy bags can be bought ready-made in craft stores, or you can knit yourself

In handicraft shops, homemade tight buttons with New Year's symbols are sold; they are perfect for decorating a bag with a gift

Jar of sweets

The sweets in the bank do not look boring at all and will delight both small and adult lovers of surprises.

The numbered photos show the process of decorating a sweet gift.

Instructions:

1. Fill a glass or plastic jar with sweets (photo 1).
2. Close it with a lid (photo 2).
3. Then cover the lid with a circle cut out of a bright fabric, and place another lid on top, with the middle cut out (photo 3).
4. Using a glue gun, attach decorative tape along the contour of the lid (photo 4).
5. Tie a lace over the ribbon, and decorate the jar with a sticker with the symbols of the New Year or Christmas (photo 5).
6. Place a candy cane in the gap between the lace and the lid (photo 6).

Every year my children and I dedicate a special day when we design gifts for family and friends. This tradition has become one of the favorites in our family. In fact, it's not difficult at all - just buy some bright ribbons, shiny paper and prepare bumps, stickers and bright buttons. Children can draw cards with wishes of happiness in the New Year and put them in gifts.

Originally decorated gifts give double joy: they talk about the feelings of the giver and pamper with sweet surprises.
