Interesting Budget-Friendly New Year's Gifts: How to Beautifully Present Simple Things

Step 1

I want to share two short tutorials on how to beautifully wrap and choose New Year's gifts when on a budget (or when you're running low on ideas, or if someone already has everything).
Giving Holiday Ornaments
Of course, you could simply buy interesting holiday ornaments at the store and wrap them in gift paper. But let's be honest, that's pretty cliché. I suggest making everything with your own hands (by the way, you can also form the balls manually, but to save time, I didn't do that).
Take foam balls and paint them the desired color

Step 2

Step 3

By the way, if you have primer at home, you can prime them first and then paint. That way, the color will be rich and paint consumption will decrease.
Now coat selected areas with glue, wait a moment, and sprinkle thoroughly with glitter.

Step 4

You can create your own design—everything depends on your imagination
Now take a pretty box and line the bottom with shredded paper (you can buy ready-made box filler). Close it and tie a bow.

Step 5

Step 6

Step 7

For those who want to make the box themselves, I've attached a template.

Step 8

A Tea Gift in Holiday Packaging
I am a huge tea and coffee lover. I always have a wide variety at home, but I am always delighted when someone gives me tea and sweet treats to go with it. That's where this idea comes from.
Take small jars (homemakers usually have them around the house, sitting unused). If you don't have any, you can buy them at any variety store like Avrora or Krasny Market.

Step 9

Take decorative tape (of a suitable width) and wrap the area where the label should go. Decorate the jar lid with a sticker (you can also draw on a piece of paper and attach it with double-sided tape).

Step 10

Step 11

Tip: If the old label won't come off, soak it thoroughly in hot water, and then it will peel off easily.
Fill the jars with coffee, tea, candies, and any other loose goodies.

Step 12

Step 13

Assemble the box (I won't write out every step in detail; just looking at it makes everything clear and simple).
Cover it with fabric (I chose red plaid—it's perfect for the holidays). And arrange the jars, tea bags, small chocolate bars, greeting cards, and anything else you see fit inside.
