The most popular gift for any occasion is a bouquet. Any woman will like such a present. However, it should be noted that not only flowers can be components of the bouquet... Each person strives to be original and unique. In this case, interesting bouquets made from coffee beans or tea bags will help make an impression. The main advantage of this gift is its cost-effectiveness.

Making a non-standard composition

When making an interesting bouquet with your own hands, you do not need to get non-standard goods or spend a large amount. For work, you need to prepare:

Two types of paper (corrugated and wrapping).
Tapes and foil.

As additional decorations and materials for the composition will be required:

Floristic mesh and wire.
Flower knitting needles (if necessary, they can be replaced with thin wooden sticks).
Sisal.
Beads.
Accessories for creating floristic bouquets.

From the tools in the creation process come in handy:

Glue and tape.
Scissors.
Paper stapler and wire cutters.
Ordinary hole punch.

As for tea or coffee, they should be taken in small quantities. It is advisable that they be packed in small bags or jars. Coffee can be selected in sticks. This will make the composition look more organic and interesting.

The selection of beauty products should be about exist in one color scheme... However, when creating a bouquet, you should not ignore the birthday person's taste preferences. Often, your favorite tea can be sold without beautiful packaging. In this case, you will need to create the packaging yourself from pre-prepared materials.

For the base of the bouquet, as a rule, a sisal basket is chosen. This basket should be made on the basis of a wire frame. It is in it that the present will be placed later.

Step-by-step instructions for creating

When creating a composition, do not forget about the main elements - tea. It can be varied and come in several different flavors.

Before starting work, you should remove the original packaging, while leaving the packages of the drink in the foil. The wrapping paper that was chosen for this composition should be used to make custom tea bag envelopes.

To decorate the bags, you can use colored ribbons that will be threaded through the holes on each product. These holes must be made in advance using a hole punch.

Then the basket needs to be filled with tea or coffee in new packages. Empty spaces can be decorated with sisal. The basket will look prettier and more interesting if you give it volume. To do this, the finished gift composition can be supplemented with beads, sweets or floral decorations. You can buy it at specialty craft stores. It is best to choose decor for florists with special legs.

After the composition is framed, it should be covered with a transparent film. Staples and tapes will help secure the film.

The last step should be wrapping the finished basket with corrugated paper. The basket can be either one color or have several shades, which, of course, should overlap with each other. Otherwise, the composition will look inappropriate and unnecessarily pretentious.

DIY tea bouquets master class can be additionally tied with a ribbon. Any decor will look appropriate in such a composition. The main condition: the bouquet should look light and relaxed.

Candy-bouquet gifts

It is often noticed that tea lovers simply cannot do without sweets. Indeed, a bit of tea with candy is considered a very tasty combination. And it is very pleasant to receive such a delicacy as a gift. Just bringing a pack of tea and a pound of sweets for the name day will be very commonplace, but give interesting cake not everyone can make tea and sweets with their own hands.

It is easy to make such a gift, without much difficulty. This will require:

First draw a circle on the cardboard. You can use a compass for this. If it is not at hand, you can use an ordinary round object of the required diameter. The circle should be cut, just like that, and the basis for the future bouquet is created.

The center of the circle should have a hole that can be punched with an ordinary awl. A wire must subsequently be passed through the hole. This will create a blank for the pen of the upcoming gift.

The edge of the circle should be decorated with tea bags that will be attached to it with double-sided tape.

The next step is to create flowers, the core of which is candy. On the Internet, you can find a lot of options for decorating sweets with corrugated paper. Making candy and corrugated paper nuts is very easy.

Flowers should also be attached to the paper base with tape or wire.

The bouquet can be successfully complemented by funny little things in the form of figures, postcards or bows. It all depends on the preferences of the hero of the occasion and the donor of the bouquet. Don't overload the composition too much.

The bouquet can be additionally wrapped with foil and corrugated paper, as well as decorated with ribbons.

The creation of such a gift arrangement does not require large financial investments and huge efforts. Remember, a non-standard gift in the form of a bouquet or a cake made of tea will be remembered for many years and will definitely please the birthday person and those around him.

Attention, only TODAY!

Coming to visit with a bouquet of flowers means to please the owners of the house and show your good manners. And if the gift bouquet is made by hand, then you "risk" running into a compliment for the manifestation of creative imagination) Of course, traditional bouquets of candies in modern times can not surprise everyone, because they are quite popular. But if you put together a bouquet of sweets and tea, and put a wicker basket at its base, then you will definitely be distinguished by originality! Let's learn how to collect edible and inedible in one basket, as well as decorate it beautifully!

First, let's decide on the materials. We need:

Corrugated (floristic) paper in three colors (pink and lemon yellow - for petals, baked milk color - for the middle of the flowers)
Sisal green
Round shaped candies (here "Martian")
Satin ribbons
Artificial flowers and greenery
Small decor (bees, ladybugs, etc.)
Hot glue gun
Scissors, thread, lighter, awl
Wicker basket
Spray paint of any suitable color (silver here)
Polyurethane foam in a tube

Let's start with the flowers. First, cut the corrugated paper into the middle of the flowers. Height - one and a half divisions (they are printed on a sheet of paper), length - a tight girth of the candy. We made such centers for roses.

We take only floristic paper, thin paper will not give such a stretching of the workpiece.

Fold the strip in half and cut off one edge, rounding it off.

Stretch the middle and wrap the candy in it (tuck the tails to the middle. Some craftsmen fix them there with tape, but this is not necessary). We tighten the lower edge with several turns of thread.

We get these details. If you take longer paper, you get more closed centers. In our case, sweets are visible.

We make blanks - the quantity is optional. 11 flowers with sweets went to my basket.

Now we start making petals. For primroses, I came up with sharp pink petals - there are five in total. We cut strips of pink corrugated paper with a height of also 1.5 divisions and a length of about 5 cm.Fold them with an accordion and cut off one side into a sharp corner.

Stretch the center of each petal. We make 11 blanks.

Now we will strengthen the stem. I made them from toothpicks - on a drop of hot melt glue at the base.

The next step is to assemble a flower with petals. We take a strip with 5 petals (stretched in the middle. You can twist and sharpen the tips a little more), draw it along ⅓ of the inner part of the base with glue and attach it to the middle. It is necessary that the paper runs slightly gathered. Then another third and the final third of the pink corrugated paper tape. This is how we glued all the petals.

We remove the glue threads from the paper after we wrap the flower leg with tape. And we will straighten the petals already in the finished form (you can bend them a little from the center, if you want a more lush primrose). No - leave it that way.

Now let's get to the base of our composition - a basket-hat. We take a ready-made wicker basket (sold in needlework stores), blow a little polyurethane foam in the middle and leave to set. The foam expands over time and fills the entire volume, as yeast dough... And even with a slide it turns out. I decided to paint it with silver spray.

Now, with a construction knife, we will remove the excess from the base - cut off the foam flush with the brim of the basket-hat.

I used Tess tea bags as the decoration of the side. Green color tea bag very suitable for composition with flowers. Each bag was glued with an overlap on hot melt glue in a circle.

Instead of "Tess" any other tea in green individual packaging will do. If you wish, you can take a different color as a basis, depending on what kind of basket theme you will have.

Now we will make out the hat. We turn over the basket-hat and select the satin ribbon. Cut off the required length with the ends obliquely and singe the edges of the tape with a lighter. We glue the tape on hot melt glue in several places.

We decorate the hat fields with artificial greenery and flowers, add bees, ladybirds, etc. if desired. So we turned a wicker basket into a straw hat.

We turn it over to the other side and begin to design the basket. Cover its inner part (polyurethane foam) with green sisal and strengthen the flowers. Be sure to add artificial flowers and leaves to the candy flowers. This will add airiness to the composition.

I make a place for flowers, even in the softest base material, with an awl. And only then I strengthen the stem of the flower with glue.

This is how we put together a delicious and beautiful souvenir - a basket of flowers and a hat at the same time.

I hope everything was clear. There are still questions - ask, I will definitely answer!

Good luck in your sweet creativity!

Not everyone likes to do New Year's handmade gifts. Someone looks askance at the donor, thinking to themselves, “this is a miser! Saved! ”, And someone is happy and surprised that in our days of developed consumption there are still those who are worried about making homemade presents. I love such gifts, for me things made with my own hands are, first of all, a symbol of the fact that a person has spent the most valuable thing on me these days: his time.

New Year's Eve shopping makes me yearning: crowds of citizens who rush around the shops with bulging eyes and buy up all sorts of nonsense for big money, soulless Gift Baskets, into which everything is shoved according to the principle "and so they will eat it!", and the general atmosphere of consumer madness completely kills my cozy New Year's mood. On the contrary, it seems to me that the New Year is a holiday of hand-knitted socks and sweaters, homemade cookies and homemade soap, things that carry the warmth and care of the giver. New Year's handmade gifts create the right mood. Real, one hundred percent, New Year's!

New Year's handmade gifts

I love to invent gifts, choose packaging, make and give things that meet the characteristics of the person to whom the gift is intended. Today there are so many different opportunities to do cool things without even having special skills that your desire to do something with your own hands can definitely be realized!

New Year's handmade gifts are not necessarily a crooked figurine made of acorns and branches or a potholder made from an old towel, you can give something that will really be a joy - for example ... homemade tea!

We traditionally love tea in our country - black tea, green tea, tea with buns, tea with milk, etc., etc. We drink tea at work, we warm up with a cup of tea. to guests, in general, tea is a serious phenomenon in our culture.

Present good tea on New Year's holidays it has long become a tradition, and you may well support this tradition and give tea, with a unique taste and aroma, created by you especially for the one to whom you are giving this tea! You can come up with a special name, draw a funny label, or just present such tea in a beautiful glass jar(accompanying, for example, a box of homemade cookies) - who wouldn't be happy with such a gift? ..

homemade tea and tea blends: how to make

The taste and aroma of a unique gift tea you will be made up of three types of components - in fact, base tea (black or green), various kinds of fruit and herbal additives (citrus peel, dried berries, herbs) and essential oils. At the same time, you should understand that the aroma of tea greatly affects the taste.

Creating your own tea takes place in two stages:

1. You add essential oils to the base tea, pour it into a glass jar, close the lid hermetically and put it in a preferably dark place for 1-1.5 weeks - during this time the tea is "saturated" with the aroma of ethers. At this time, it is advisable to periodically take out the jar and shake the contents, at least once every couple of days.

2. In the tea "breathed in" with ethers, you add fruit or herbal ingredients, mix thoroughly, again lock everything in the jar for a day or two and you're done!

It is important to understand that if you are adding fresh ingredients to your tea, and not dry ones - for example, fresh lemon zest or fresh ginger, then the shelf life of such tea is very short, it is advisable to give and drink it right away. With dry ingredients, tea can be stored for up to six months, after which it simply "fizzles out".

Like all products with essential oils, tea is best kept in a glass jar (you can buy different cute glass jars for a gift at Ikea). For 100 grams of dry tea, you need 2-3 drops of essential oil, no more.

When creating your composition, be sure to read about the effect of each of your chosen oils when taken orally, this is very important! And it is very important for making tea to choose ONLY natural essential oils obtained by steam distillation, and not synthetic ones (which are made for aroma lamps and are several times cheaper), it is better from trusted manufacturers. Natural essential oils are relatively expensive, but take it as an investment: every good essential oil has that amount useful properties that you will definitely find further use for it.

Christmas handmade tea

For example, here is a tea mixture that I have been making with different variations and have been giving for many years - my friends have been ordering this tea for me since October. You can add fresh zest to it (it is added on the eve of donation to the mixture already infused with essential oils), or remove the peel from the orange, dry it, crush it finely and add in this version (this tea will be stored longer).

Christmas tea is good to drink with homemade cakes sitting on the couch in front of the TV set on the first of January - it is all saturated with New Year's aromas!

100 grams of classic black tea
2 drops of cinnamon essential oil
1 drop of ginger essential oil
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
fresh zest of one orange

I pour black tea into a glass jar, after having dripped essential oils on its walls, close the jar and shake it thoroughly, after which I send it to infuse for a week or two in the closet (you need to shake the tea every two days). Before giving, I add ginger and zest to the tea, put it in the closet for another day and then pour it into a jar, decorate and hand it over.

From classic options you can also try making your Earl gray(100 g of black tea + 3-4 drops of bergamot essential oil and dry lemon peel), and be surprised how richer and richer the taste is, or you can make a version of winter green tea - 100 g of green tea, zest of two limes, a spoonful of grated ginger and 2 drops of essential oil mint.

Handmade Christmas gifts: homemade herbal teas

If you are feeling insecure with essential oils, you can try mixing different herbs and spices together, letting them steep together and then packing them in homemade tea bags, or simply donating them in a glass jar. It is better to make such mixtures in advance, 2-3 weeks before donation, so that the components “add up” the overall aroma. Herbs can be bought at pharmacies or specialized stores, the quality of which you are sure of. Here are some options for inspiration:

Flower tea (calming, warming) - for those who work hard

3 parts lavender flowers
3 parts yarrow flowers
1 part chamomile
1 part stevia

Morning tea - for those who cannot wake up in the morning

2 parts yarrow
2 parts rose hips
2 parts lavender
1 part dried marjoram
1 part stevia

Chocolate mint tea: for beloved friends

4 parts black tea
2 parts mint chocolate, broken into chips
3 parts lavender
1 part rose hips

"New Year" tea: for everyone, everyone, everyone!

48 star anise
2 tsp black peppercorns
4 tablespoons dill seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons of cloves
4 cinnamon sticks, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons dry ginger
2 cups of black tea

handmade tea bags

If you do not want to give the tea mixture in a jar, because you know that your recipient prefers tea bags, then nothing prevents you from making your own, 100% organic and natural tea bags. They can all be folded in the same glass jar or in a box (which can also be made by hand).

There's a lot different ways Make your own tea bags for your tea mixes - you can make them from coffee filters, gauze cloth, or organza.

You will need:

coffee filters
small stapler
culinary thread
adhesive and label paper

Cut out the same squares from the filters, sew the bottom and sidewall.

We put our tea mixture into a bag, wrap it inside the corners, then bend the top side of the bag, apply the thread and fasten it with a stapler.

Organza tea bags are made using the same principle, but the fabric is more difficult to work with, and it costs more than coffee filters. We cut out the label from paper, glue it with ordinary glue to the other end of the thread. You can make the label a heart, or you can make a regular one and write some pleasant message on it.

packaging and wishes:

Herbs and mixtures will lose their aroma over time if stored in an unsealed package, so ready-made sachets are best stored and presented in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Before putting tea bags in such a jar, drip a few drops of essential oils on its walls - lemon, mint, petitgrain, orange, cinnamon - they will add flavor to the tea.

Well, or you can pour your tea into a plastic bag, close it properly (you can use a stapler) and then pack it in a beautiful paper gift bag.

Do not forget to decorate the jar with a beautiful label - it has long been proven that tea from a beautiful jar is much tastier than ordinary tea. Well, various additions in the form of wooden spoons, a tea strainer or a small jar of honey, which will go with your mixture, will surely please the gifted person, you will see!
