In the modern world, fewer and fewer people think about what to give to one or another person. Of course, today you can buy almost everything or present money. But we recommend not to forget that you can make a really good gift with your own hands. After all, any thing made with love is much more valuable and more expensive than a store present.
What can you donate?
Most people who want to do something with their own hands face this issue. To begin, we recommend to think about what one person or another likes. It is possible that you can bring it to life.
It is also worth thinking about how close a person is to you. For example, a small gift for an employee at work should not be too bulky and expensive. Otherwise it may not be perceived very correctly.
If the gift is intended for relatives or friends, then problems with the choice should not arise. After all, you probably know all their hobbies, dreams and aspirations.And we, in turn, prepared a selection of stylish and modern gift ideas that are suitable for a variety of holidays.
Decorative pillow
If you want to make a gift to a child or some of your friends, then we suggest making a pillow. But not quite normal, but decorative, in the form of a donut. It will be a great decoration of the room and will always remind you of you.
For its manufacture will need the following materials:
- felt or fleece beige and pink
- thread to match each shade
- small colored pieces of felt
- padding (eg batting)
- sewing machine
- scissors
- pins
- pencil.
Cut out of felt two circles of beige color. To do this, put the pieces of cloth on top of each other and draw a large circle using a plastic bucket or other container. Then in the center draw a small circle, encircling the plate.
Another pink circle should be slightly smaller. To make it look like icing on a donut, we will make its edges wavy.
As sprinkling we use multicolored pieces of felt, cutting them into strips of small size. Attach blanks to a circle of pink pins.
Sew multicolored details, and then attach pink felt to the beige base with pins.
With the help of a sewing machine we sew a pink piece along the edge.
Connect the beige rings and sew them in a zigzag. Be sure to leave a small hole to fill it.
We fill the pillow with a batting and everything, a beautiful gift is ready!
Depending on the hobbies of your loved ones, you can make a variety of pillow options.
Real players will be delighted with such a pillow!
Cute pillows in neutral shades will be a wonderful decoration of the children's room.

You do not need to be able to draw, because you will need completely different details:

On paper we draw a big heart. We put the drawing on the board and along the contour we nail the nails with an interval of 2-2.5 cm, then remove the paper.
Tie the end of the thread to one of the nails. In random order weave a thread from one nail to another. Do this until all the space is covered.
We fasten the thread on one of the nails.
A beautiful picture of a heart is ready. This gift will surely please every person, as it ideally complements the interior and will remind you.
