What to give to my mother for the New Year: gifts ideas with my own hands

A beautiful and lovingly made thing will becomea real present for the New Year and for parents from their daughter (and mother and father), mother-in-law or future mother-in-law (when it's not superfluous to emphasize their skills in needlework and excellent taste with the minimum amount of money spent).

Think first about what kind of giftslike your decorator - some people like trinkets and decorations for the house, and then almost anything will suit you, others like things that carry some useful function, even the simplest (for example, a candlestick). Having decided with this, remember other preferences - about color, themes, even about brilliance (some people can not tolerate glossy objects).

Choose the best option by tryingto bring something important or pleasant to the object for the person to whom you are giving it. For example, the symbol of the year may be the Horse, but if, for example, your mother does not like these animals, donating something with a horse is not very wise, despite all the symbols and Chinese horoscopes.

And, on the contrary, a fan of such things carefullyKeeps track of the symbolism of any things, and you should remember this when choosing. An object can be important for you as well - then it will contain reflections of something common for both of you, for example, a pleasant memory or an amusing incident, which is always happily retold.

Photo frame from salted dough or plastic

Do on the basis of thick cardboard frame forphotos, to which will be glued hired by dough or plastics or attributes of a holiday (snowman, Santa Claus, dressed Christmas tree), or, better, something more abstract, so that the frame can stand on a shelf or table, if not the whole year, although would be the whole season - for example, a winter clearing.

Do not be afraid if the figures will "get out" forframe and even slightly overlap the future photo. It is even better to insert the photo yourself - of course, by choosing some important image for your parents, if you give a gift to them, and not just beautiful: for example, a general photo from the last family meeting.

Album for scrapbooking

What could be better than giving an opportunityfor creativity? Make an album-base for scrapbooking from sheets of thick cardboard and wooden rings-fasteners from the old notebook, attaching to it a set of materials - you can also collect them yourself, for example, lace, colorful buttons, sheets of hand-painted, simply paints, paper and cute ones Stamps, cut on erasers.

And to make the album look festive, create the first few pages in winter or New Year's style yourself, putting your shared photos there.

Postcard for the New Year with your own hands

Even if you decide in the end to donatesomething else, made by hand, the postcard will always be the perfect finishing touch to any gift. Ways to draw a card with their own hands, there are hundreds, from the application of different materials, including silk and beads, to aging paper and imitation of the ancient message.

Focus again on what is mostlikes the one to whom you want to give it. For example, a card with a transparent "window" in front, made of a polyethylene dense bag, placed between two cartons, formed as a result of one single "front" part of the postcard will look very original. It can be filled with sequins, snowflakes, carved letters or words, beads or collage pictures.
