How often do men receive gifts?Don't you think that they are unfairly deprived of our attention, while we constantly expect and receive gifts from our men? They give us flowers, useful little things and useless, but touching souvenirs with or without a reason. And us? Of course, almost all men receive gifts on their birthday and New Year. As a rule, these gifts are expensive and most often purchased. But there is a special holiday and a wonderful occasion to present a man (husband, dad, lover, colleague, grandfather) with a gift made with your own hands. You already understood that we are talking about February 23 - the most important men's holiday. So, as a recognition of masculinity and strength, as a sign of respect and boundless love - gifts for February 23, made with your own hands.

Universal gift

We offer you a couple of options to start with.a universal gift made with your own hands. It can be given to a dad or grandfather, husband or lover, brother or son. In short, any man, regardless of age, the status of your relationship and the degree of kinship will be pleased with such a gift on February 23. And, naturally, such an exclusive will allow you to emphasize your attitude to this man, and will give him the opportunity to feel his own importance. Document cover A truly universal gift, since almost every man has documents. Remember from books and films the handmade tobacco pouches that men took with them to war (or not to war, but simply carried with them)? So, no man ever forgot to solemnly announce to anyone who saw this pouch for the first time that this item was received as a gift, and, moreover, made or decorated by his wife (mother, sister, fiancee) with his own hands. This version of a subject of pride will be a document cover that you make and present to your man on February 23. For this gift you will need:

• Black thick fabric;
• Cotton fabric for lining;
• Canvas (large-mesh) for embroidery;
• White, brown and black woolen yarn;
• Flizelin;
• Slanting the bike;
• Scissors;
• Cardboard for the template;
• Needle.

Making a cover is not a difficult task. It can be made in several stages, spending a minimum of time and effort.

From the cardboard we cut out a rectangular pattern withsides fifteen and twenty centimeters. From the canvas, we cut out the detail with the allowances of five millimeters and embroider a pattern on it. Which drawing to choose is a matter of your own taste. But we recommend to stop on black, white and brown color and use for embroidery a strict ornament.

Using the template, cut out the part from the nonwoven and glue it with the canvas, attaching it to the wrong side of the embroidery. Now we cut off the excess edges (allowances) of the canvas.

From the cotton fabric, we cut out a rectangular piece according to the size of the template. Having combined both details (a lining from х / б and an embroidery) wrong sides, we sweep them with large stitches.

From a black flap and fleece we cut out two rectangular details with sides seven and fifteen centimeters and glue them with the wrong sides. This is the pockets of the cover.

From black fabric we cut out a long strip for the edging of the embroidery along the oblique, and we process the long sides of all the prepared parts with the finished bake.

We take pockets to the main part, attaching them with the processed sides to the center. We lace the long, and then short sides of the cover with a shiny black fabric, sweeping it with short stitches.

We attach the fringing to the cover.

Cover for the book The Man YouAre you planning to make a handmade gift for February 23, loves to read? And prefers traditional paper books? Then make him a book cover as a present. For this you will need:

• The skin flap is larger in size than the medium format book;
• hole puncher;
• stationery knife;
• crochet hook;
• scissors;
• ruler.

So, we cut out a rectangle from the leather, heightwhich is one centimeter longer than the height of the book, and the width is seven centimeters longer. Cut out two pieces for the cover pockets, the height of which is equal to the height of the first piece and the width of about five centimeters. Using a hole punch, make holes along the perimeter of all three pieces at a distance of one centimeter from each other. To make the holes on the pockets and the cover coincide, attach the pockets to the edges of the main piece and punch both layers of leather. Using a stationery knife, cut out a long narrow strip of leather no more than five millimeters wide. Now attach one pocket to the main piece (wrong sides), aligning the holes on them. Start braiding the cover from the outermost inner opening of the pocket, passing the leather cord over the edge. Make a large knot at the end of the cord that does not fit through the hole. Pass it through the front side, wrap it to the back side and thread it through the next hole. Having pulled out the cord, wrap it to the front side and thread it through the adjacent hole. In this way, braid the entire cover together with the pockets attached to it. If the cord ends, then secure it in the hole where you stopped, tying a strong knot (it should remain on the back of the cover). Take another strip of leather and continue braiding the cover from the place where the previous cord ended. On the front side of the cover, you can make a voluminous or crushed applique. By the way, for contrast, you can use leather of different colors or, instead of a leather cord, braid the cover with a gold or silver cord-tourniquet. A very beautiful decoration will come out of the same cord. First, draw the outline of the pattern on the cover (arbitrary monograms, an inscription, an ornament), then coat this outline with glue and put a twisted cord on it. And the cover, made with your own hands, is ready!
