Gifts for March 8 with their own hands: simple and original

It is symbolic that it is in March that many womencountries celebrate a holiday in their honor. Indeed, the weather of this month is capricious and changeable: sometimes it pleases with sunshine, sometimes it covers with snow again, and sometimes it suddenly washes away with rain. Very similar to us, representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. And a holiday is always pleasant. We love to receive flowers, congratulations and gifts from close men, friends and colleagues. Homemade surprises from beloved children are also incredibly pleasing. The most interesting thing is that the tradition of congratulating women on a holiday in their honor existed in Ancient Rome. On this day, they honored the goddess Vesta, who was the keeper of the hearth. And all married women accepted gifts from their husbands. Even slaves were allowed to take a break from work on this day. So those who do not like to associate March 8 with Women's Day, proclaimed by Clara Zetkin, may prefer to see echoes of Roman history in this holiday. But gifts and congratulations on such a day have already become an obligatory tradition, without which, it seems, spring will not come. At least in a woman's heart for sure. Therefore, we all eagerly await March 8 and amazing surprises. But do not forget that this holiday is an excellent occasion to congratulate mothers, grandmothers, aunts and other relatives ourselves. And not just give flowers, but to please our dear women with sincere expressions of love, care and attention. It is in such cases that we immediately remember childhood and the first clumsy drawings, appliques and postcards, on which we wrote naive words of congratulations with an uncertain hand. But this is not a bad idea - to present a gift for March 8 with your own hands, made with love. Moreover, in our time there are all sorts of original ideas for such congratulations. Therefore, do not rush to go to the store, but rather think and prepare gifts for your loved ones for March 8 with your own hands in advance. Perhaps many men will also want to complement their congratulations with a homemade surprise, so there are some useful tips for them in the article.

Gifts from children for moms and grandmothers

First of all, I would like not to leave withoutattention of children who, due to their age, are not able to make gifts for their mothers and grandmothers on their own. However, they should definitely be helped and told about the meaning of the holiday in understandable words. The eyes of a three-year-old child will light up with delight at the opportunity to please the people dearest to him. Therefore, both mom and dad should take the lead, offer the child ideas and help with their implementation. The simplest thing is to draw a picture or make an applique. For example, draw a vase of flowers or just a large bouquet on a white sheet of thick paper and ask the child to make the drawing colorful using plasticine. You can also show some imagination when creating an applique. For originality, you should use dried flowers, herbarium leaves or large beads instead of ordinary colored paper. The child will clearly like to make something unusual for mom or grandma and then give them your attention and convey the warmth of your hands. You can also make a beautiful postcard with voluminous flowers. Remember the beautiful paper tulips you made as a child. They need to be glued to a folded sheet of cardboard, which will become a postcard. You can also please your mother and grandmother with a symbolic boat with scarlet sails. An interesting option would be a bouquet of children's photos, which need to be cut out in a circle and placed in the center of paper daisies glued to paper or cardboard. Schoolgirls can also be given ideas on how to originally congratulate their mother, grandmother, sisters or aunts. Teenagers are often fond of sewing, knitting or embroidery. A beautiful kitchen set of an apron and potholders, a knitted scarf or shawl, an unusual picture embroidered with a cross - all this will certainly please their relatives and beloved relatives. You can make an original wall organizer for your mother's manicure set or sew a case for your grandmother's glasses. Sons and grandsons can please their dear women with a cake baked with their own hands. Of course, without experience this will not be an easy task, but with some effort it is very feasible. You can also turn an ordinary cutting board into a real work of art. You need to draw a picture on it with a pencil and then repeat it with a wood burning device. For brightness, you can paint it with gouache and varnish. Such things will appeal not only to mothers, but also to other women in the family. You can also make an interesting apple-shaped box from green or brown plastic bottles. Or use acrylic paints to paint ordinary white cups, making them festive and memorable. The original ideas do not end there. Turn on your imagination and, perhaps, your congratulations will exceed all expectations. After all, mom, in fact, needs very little, and often even a cleaned apartment and a ready dinner become a real holiday.

Adult home-made gifts to the older generation

If in the case of gifts that canприготовить дети, все обстоит довольно просто, ведь необходимые материалы обычно всегда находятся в любом доме, то взрослое творчество без посещения специализированного магазина часто невозможно. Поэтому постарайтесь обдумать, что именно вы хотели бы сделать при помощи своих рук для виновниц праздника, и заранее купите все необходимое. Итак, начнем с фото-подарков. Они всегда будут оригинальны и эксклюзивны, как и сами используемые для их создания снимки. Неплохим вариантом станет составление коллажа для мамы. Его можно оформить в виде фото-истории с ней в главной роли. Например, опишите таким образом обычный день из маминой жизни. Сделайте это с юмором, используйте свое художественное мастерство и фотографии всех членов семьи. Может, это будет день из вашего детства, связанный с маминым вниманием и заботой. Бабушке можно подарить фото-историю вашего рода по женской линии. Для этого придется потрудиться, ведь нужны не только старые снимки из домашнего архива, но следует еще и хорошо представлять себе, кто именно на них запечатлен и какие семейные истории связаны с вашими предками-женщинами. И хотя такая работа является довольно кропотливой, но она способна серьезно вас увлечь, ведь жизнь предков — это всегда интересно. Другие оригинальные идеи для самодельных подарков стоят у вас на тумбочках или висят на стене. Речь пойдет о фоторамках. Они довольно стандартны, глаз к ним привыкает быстро, и на сами фотографии мы смотрим все реже. А ведь их можно декорировать самым необычным образом, используя для этого ткань, кожу, бисер, стекло и многое другое. Интересными могут стать и идеи с держателями для фотографий. Вот, к примеру, снимки, связанные с отдыхом на море, которых полно в любом домашнем архиве. На них молодые родители и вы, совсем еще ребенок. Найдите крупные морские камни и прикрепите к ним куски проволоки, на которых можно разместить выбранные фотографии. Получится такой оригинальный морской уголок. Подобным же образом можно сделать инсталляцию под названием «Мама и я», используя для этого соответствующие снимки. Оригинальные идеи возможны даже в таком тривиальном поздравлении, как цветы. Можно выбрать не букет, а красивое живое растение, благо, их в изобилии можно найти в любом магазине соответствующей тематики. Вся суть заключается в горшке, где этот цветок будет жить. Именно его можно превратить в произведение искусства при помощи куска ткани или бумаги и красивой тесьмы. А если хотите, сделайте горшок необычным и ярким, украсив его бисером или бусинами. Умеете рисовать? Отлично, распишите его, сделав эксклюзивным. Еще одной идей для рукотворного подарка станет мыло, которое вы сможете приготовить при помощи простых компонентов и своих рук. Вам понадобятся такие составляющие: мыльная основа или детское мыло, очищенное растительное (базовое) и эфирное (для аромата) масла, пищевые красители и добавки (глицерин, мед и так далее), молоко. Основу нужно натереть на терке и растопить на водяной бане, при этом постепенно добавить растительное масло, молоко и тщательно размешать. Затем массу следует снять с огня и ввести в нее оставшиеся компоненты. Полученное мыло нужно разлить по любым формочкам (можно использовать детские для песка) и отправить в холодильник на два-три дня до полного застывания. Если есть желание попробовать себя в качестве мастера по созданию бижутерии, то воспользуйтесь рекомендациями о том, как сделать оригинальные браслеты и бусы при помощи бисера разной величины и форм. Понадобятся еще тонкие резинки, ленты и булавки. Кстати, все тот же бисер может стать прекрасным материалом для декорирования надоевших стеклянных или керамических ваз (без рельефного орнамента). Их нужно покрыть клеем и обвить готовыми или нанизанными вручную нитями бус. Все это — лишь наиболее простые идеи того, какой подарок к 8 марта своими руками можно сделать без особого труда, используя простые доступные средства и немного фантазии. Возможно, вы знакомы с техникой декупажа, сухого валяния из шерсти или что-то мастерили из полимерной глины. Используйте свое творческое умение для создания оригинальных неповторимых вещей и радуйте ими своих близких.

Homemade gifts from men

Don't think that only women haveartistic taste and know how to make homemade surprises. Men are also able to create interesting designer gifts with their skillful hands. However, it is still much easier for them to buy another perfume or jewelry. However, if you want to make your congratulations on March 8 extraordinary and memorable, then below are some original ideas, although they are quite simple, but very interesting. Those men who are at least a little familiar with carpentry can please their beloved women with a small table for morning coffee in bed. And if by March 8 you also serve a festive breakfast and feed your wife in such a touching way, then you will greatly please and surprise her. It is no secret that many women love chocolate and flowers. With the help of imagination and a master class on making “sweet” bouquets, you can combine both. You will need your wife’s or girlfriend’s favorite candies, thin multi-colored decorative paper or transparent fabric, toothpicks and tape. After watching a video tutorial, which is available to anyone, you will be able to make a unique “sweet” composition yourself. A heart-shaped panel of your joint photos can also serve as a good idea for a holiday greeting. You can use it to decorate a bedroom wall by attaching photos to the wall. This is a simple option. A more labor-intensive option is to use a frame with a canvas attached to it, on which the photos will be placed. By the way, the frame itself can also be beautifully and originally decorated. You can also make unusual photo pillows. But it is not easy to do this alone and using only your hands. Therefore, it is better to contact a workshop where they can print your photos not on paper, but on fabric. It is from this that you will need to sew pillowcases, if, of course, you are familiar with the art of a tailor. Do you want to take an easier path? Then buy any decorative pillowcases and decorate them with original buttons, for example, laying out a love message from them. In any case, even if the gift you plan to give is purchased, it needs to be decorated in an original and unique way. This can be done with the help of beautiful packaging or a handmade card. Why is this touch so important? After all, all women - wives, sisters, mothers or grandmothers - value not the gift itself, but our attention. Therefore, it is very important to put your hands to a sincere and heartfelt congratulation - this is how beloved and dear representatives of the fair sex will have the opportunity to once again be convinced that their holiday is worth not just a certain amount of money spent, but also personal time, effort and desire to make it unforgettable and wonderful.
