Money envelope.

There are many holidays in the year and many people prefer not to give gifts to friends and relatives, but money bills. And it is right! Man himself will buy what he wants. If all friends and relatives give money, then a person can buy himself a good and expensive gift: a bicycle, a video camera or a camera, a refrigerator, a washing machine. Why buy an envelope for money in a newsagent when you can make it yourself at home?

Crop all unnecessary, the side parts are glued to glue or double-sided scotch. The main part of the envelope is decorated with different decor: butterflies, beads, rhinestones, satin ribbons, stickers.

Now the age of the Internet and technology and of course now there is e-mail and it’s faster and easier, but some people, especially the older generation still use ordinary envelopes and write letters with a pen.

And such a conventional envelope can become unusual. Cut out the remains of wallpaper images: butterflies, typewriters, animals or flowers. Or we take scissors zig-zak and cut out a square, rectangle or strip and paste it on the envelope.

If the wallpaper has a picture, for example a typewriter or a butterfly, then cut it out. We paste it on a wide double-sided adhesive tape. We supplement with rhinestones, rope, buttons, write or print a solemn inscription.

Cones.

Previously, in cones sold seeds in the market, that’s the same we make of wallpaper. Fold and fix the tip of the paper on the tape. In a cone it is possible to pour small sweets and sweets, for example marshmallow. For creative people to invest in it accessories: thread floss, beads, satin ribbons, beautiful and unusual buttons, needles, tailor’s pins.

As a gift for the birthday of your pet, put food. It turns out bonbonniere in the form of a cone. At a wedding celebration, you can make them in a romantic white and pink range, which the brides so much love.
By the new year you can make confetti. We take a punch hole and make holes in the colored cardboard. Pour confetti into the cone. In the street open the cone and pour out the contents.

If you flip the cone, you get a Christmas tree. We adorn it with beads, buttons, threads and tinsel or glue chocolate candies.

The rose petals for the wedding ceremony can be put in a cone, and when young go it is convenient to hold the cone in one hand, and the other to take the petals and toss.

Paintings.

There are many different pictures in the world and on different topics. And what if you make it yourself? Determine the place where the picture will hang. We buy a large or medium-sized frame for photos.

On the children’s day birth, as a gift to the child, you can make a package for a gift in the form of candy. We wrap a gift, for example a towel. We squeeze the ends slightly and tie them.

Rectangular shape is easy to add, but you can also make other interesting forms of packaging, for example in the form of a handbag.

Frames for the photo.

The brightness of the frame for the photo can be done with the help of wallpaper. We buy in the store or we make our own hands from cardboard, cork or magnetic base.

Rectangular garland.

From the cardboard we cut squares or rectangles, and from the wallpaper, too, only a smaller size. We paste it on the cardboard base. Extend holes with a punch and insert the satin ribbon.

You can cut out circles, hearts, butterflies from the remains of wallpaper and paste them on a cardboard base, glue it on a string and hang it. This is an excellent pastime for moms and children.

Cover for books.

Books need care. Periodically they must be wiped from dust, but it is better to protect them and make them a bright cover of wallpaper.

We take the remains of wallpaper, attach a book, denote the boundaries of the book. We measure the distance plus 5-7 cm, draw lines, and then cut off. We turn around, and fix the edges of the paper to glue or scotch tape. The cover for the books is ready!

You can make all the books in one style and then all the books will be in the same cover. If you put the data in the same room where the same wallpaper, then there will be a single style of the room.

Gift bags.

An interesting variant of using wallpaper is a gift bag. Cooking: satin ribbons, beads, buttons, embroidery – all that you will find at home. We measure the distance in width and length, draw borders with a pencil. Then glue the edges, first side, and then bottom. Then bend in such a way that the package looked like a gift bag from the store. For a landmark it is better to have before your eyes.

We take a punch hole and make holes on both sides. We pass a bright satin ribbon and tie it to the knot.
