   A very simple gift - a postcard, which even a child will make. To do this, you need a thick colored cardboard, which folds in half. Inside the desire is written, and the front side is painted with colors or decorated with pieces of colored paper. Postcard can be made in the form of a heart or chamomile, and write petals on petals. A little to diversify the congratulation can be with the help of a collage of photos on which the birthday boy with family and friends. Under each photo they write a wish.

Get a small notebook and write a gift on each sheet: going to a restaurant or a theater, going on vacation, watching your favorite movie. If you plan to donate money, glue two sheets and put the money inside. Think about 10 small gifts, so that the birthday girl was interested.


   To your beloved mother, sister or grandmother present a bouquet of flowers made by yourself. Choose delicious chocolates to wrap the candy wrapper from two sides. You will also need corrugated paper and bamboo sticks. Petals are cut from the paper. To the stick sticks a candy, then around it a flower is formed from the prepared petals. The result is an edible bouquet that will please a long time.


   All women are given flowers. They often have a problem with the presence of a beautiful vase. Make an original vase is very simple. Take a glass jar with a capacity of 1 or 2 liters, especially suitable for jars of juice. You can decorate it with thread for knitting, they are well glued with PVA glue. Attach buttons, beads or other accessories on top of the thread.


If you need to congratulate a man and you could not choose anything except a bottle of alcohol, decorate it with seashells. Having enjoyed a drink, the birthday boy will necessarily leave a bottle as a souvenir.


   If the girl's girlfriend, give her a piece of jewelry made with her own hands. You need to take a satin ribbon and about 20 different sized beads with large holes. The ribbon is threaded into the eye of needles and beads individually strung. After each bead a knot is formed, so that later they will not be confused. In the end, a bow is tied.


Take advantage of one of the suggested options and be sure to add your imagination. Do not forget to take into account the features of the birthday boy and his wishes for the gift.

Who among us did not face the problem of choosing a gift, and sometimes, just the time to go shopping in a gift, as such. But there is always a way out, original gift  with their own hands in the course of one and a half to two hours, even a child can do. Even if it's true, no one will!

Remember, during the Soviet school years, many of us collected broken Christmas toys, then they were crushed into crumbs and with the help of the obtained small pounded glass they stamped wall newspapers.

Those. idea and technology are not new, but! There is always an alternative to the material used. Now in many shops, they sell decorative free-flowing shine, and it is called: blsk for the body, shine for the nails, artistic shine. It all depends on where to buy it. The main thing is in powder, free-flowing ...

So, what can we need?

Blask decorative (can be of different colors)

Overdue cosmetics: eye shadow, blush ...

Cardboard colored for the substrate (preferably dark: brown, blue, black, burgundy), you can use pastel paper

PVA glue

Drawing contour (you can take from the children's coloring book)

Wooden Ubochistka (bamboo)

Ballpoint pen with an already used rod

How to start making. Select the picture, print it on the printer in the desired format. Immediately talk, it is undesirable to take a format larger than A4 (21x30).

we put a sheet with a contour drawing on the prepared cardboard and we trace the whole contour with the rod of the ballpoint pen so that there remains on the card a well-marked stamped imprint. Take care that the cardboard is not spoiled, that is, do not push the handle bar too hard.

then we take PVA glue and toothpick, toothpick with glue on the tip, we begin to trace the contour of the picture. Since the glue dries quickly enough, there is no sense in circling the drawing at once, a small part of it. On the applied glue we sprinkle the prepared shine, we wait for some seconds that shine has stuck with glue and we pour surpluses on a blank sheet of paper, we use remnants of shine repeatedly. So we create the whole drawing. Part after a bit of falling asleep with his shine.

When the work is done, we give the glue to cure for 30-40 minutes and we make the work under the glass and frame.

If desired, you can pre-apply tinted shadows or blush on the inside of the picture. Here we are already working with a cotton swab or tampons for applying shadows. To add extra volume to the details of our work, you can thicken the lines of the stroke with the same glue and gloss, the contour can have a different thickness. you yourself will understand where to make it thicker, and where it is thinner.

If you still have a gloss at the end of the work, save it until the next time.

When you shake hands, then instead of cardboard as a basis you can use fabrics, preferably dense silk or velvet.

also, in this technique you can decorate not only the panel, but also any other surface, it can be a decorative plate, a cup, a vase, or maybe a Christmas ball, just apply a small glitter on it and you will have a new exclusive copy.
