DIY gifts for men for the New Year: unique for the most

On the eve of the New Year holidays, close men - father, grandfather, brother, boyfriend or husband - want to give something special. Handmade, with warmth and love, gifts will certainly bring joy and will remain in your memory for a long time.

What to give a man for the New Year

There are many gift options. We will look at just a few of them.

2019 calendar

A desk, wall or pocket calendar will be useful for a business man. It will help you not to forget about meetings, significant dates and holidays.

How to make a "House" desk calendar with cells for the day, month and day of the week:

1. We will make the basis of the calendar from two sheets of A4 cardboard (210x297 mm). We bend the first in half (upper part). On the second, we cut out a rectangle 21x14 cm in size. We retreat from each edge 2 cm and draw lines parallel to the larger side, then bend them (lower part). When finished, you get a triangular shape.

   

   The triangular shape of the calendar looks like a house

2. Cut out 3 rectangles from the remnants of the second sheet of cardboard: 8x12, 3x8, 3x4 cm. And draw fold lines on them.

   

   Cut rectangles to the specified dimensions and mark fold lines on them

3. We make cuts in the margins, fold and glue the joints. We get 3 narrow boxes - pockets for cards. We glue them to the base of the calendar.

   

   To fold a pocket, you need to make cuts

4. Cut out cards: 31 by 10x9 cm (for numbers), 12 - 8x5 cm (months), 7 - 5x4 cm (days of the week). We sign them and insert them into the pockets.

   

   Colorful cards with numbers and months look beautiful

5. Additionally, the calendar can be decorated with a picture or applique.

   

   The top cards in the cells show the current date and day of the week.

Wish coupons

All men love when their wishes come true. And if you are ready to become a "goldfish", make such a gift by issuing it in the form of coupons for desires.

1. Come up with (and write down, so as not to forget) that will be pleasant to a loved one. So, dad or grandfather will be delighted with a delicious lunch, an hour's conversation or a passed exam. Your brother will be pleased if you drive to the store and do the cleaning instead. The guy, as a rule, has desires of a different nature. For example, a passionate kiss, half an hour of hugs, or a romantic dinner. The husband may enjoy bowling, fishing and an evening in the male company. In general, show your imagination and evaluate your willingness to fulfill the desire.

   

   Prepare desires that you are ready to fulfill

2. Then everything is simple. Make coupon templates according to the number of desires. The size of the workpiece is 10x15 cm (as small as possible).
3. On each coupon, write the wish you are willing to fulfill. Be sure to include the expiration date, for example, during 2019. You can add pictures or stickers on the topic to make it beautiful.

4. Fold the blanks in an even stack, make holes with a hole punch and fasten with twine.

Purse

In the modern world, a man's status depends on the size of his wallet. Make a wallet with your own hands, and a man will appreciate your gift.

Stages of work:

1. Cut out 2 rectangles from genuine leather with sides of 23x10 cm and 22x10 cm. It is important that the inner part of the wallet is 1 cm shorter than the outer one. Otherwise, the wallet will wrinkle.

2. Make a 1 cm cut on the inside for the bills.

   

   Cut out the main parts of the wallet

3. For plastic cards, cut out 4 pockets of 10x5 cm.

   

   Uncover additional details

4. Round the corners of all parts. This can be done, for example, by attaching a coin and cutting off excess material.

   

   Round corners in detail

5. Mark the seams and punch holes in the skin with a 1mm punch.

   

   Punches are easy to make holes in the skin

6. Sew the two bottom pockets to the inside of the wallet.

   

   Sew on the bottom of the pockets

7. Attach the second pair of pockets so that they partially cover the first. Sew the inside seams.

   

   Sew the other two pockets in the center of the wallet

8. Fold the outer and inner parts of the wallet. And sew them. Start at the top of the side cuts. Then walk the needle along the bottom, not reaching a little to the middle.

   

   Sew the main details

9. Fold the product in half. The wallet is ready.

Knitted scarf

A warm scarf is the most suitable gift in the cold season. It is not difficult to knit it, and if you choose a thicker yarn, then quickly. A man will certainly appreciate such care of him.

Sweets

More often than not, men do not confess their love for sweets. But they will be pleased to receive a tasty treat. Especially if you made it yourself. But if it didn't work out with culinary talents, you can fix the situation with an interesting gift design by buying sweets in the store.
