A universal selection of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Hello, Dear friends. We continue the theme of presenting souvenirs to family and friends for various holidays. Today I will talk about how to beautifully fold a towel as a gift.

Superstitions aside: do they give towels as gifts?

Perhaps some of you will now say: “Do they even give a towel as a gift?” Of course they give. There is a version that such a gift leads to quarrels, separations, and hostility.

In my opinion, it is easier to blame an innocent piece of material for all your troubles than to try to find the root of the problem. It all depends on your emotional perception of it. If you then suffer from sleepless nights because you made a “forbidden” gift, make a decision in favor of your health. Come up with something different.

But, nevertheless, as they say, there is no smoke without fire. And if you are a superstitious person, then there is an excellent solution to this controversial issue - take money for this gift (symbolic, of course). And it automatically moves from the “gifts” row to the “purchases” department.

Delighting the kids with an interesting presentation

Who else but children love something interesting, unusual and, at first glance, even magical? Children are real connoisseurs of this. It’s difficult to surprise with a towel neatly folded in a bag, but if you roll it into a fancy shape, you’ll be simply delighted! Let's take as a basis what children love most:

• ice cream,
• lollipops,
• toys.

Let's use this knowledge to design a gift.

Ice cream. Choose a towel in bright colors (raspberry, deep yellow, orange, etc.). Using step-by-step instructions video, you will be able to turn a gift into a children’s favorite sweet.

Lollipops. Perhaps not a single children's party goes by without sweet candies. To make the candy look real, use two different colors. For example, red and white, yellow and green, but you can also do it like in the master class:

Pack the souvenir in transparent wrapping paper and the lollipop is ready.

Toys. Create a baby elephant with your own hands, for example. You will need 2 types of towels: bath and hand. Use the following colors: white, blue, blue, gray. To make it look like a real one, decorate it with “toy eyes.” You can find them at any craft store. Follow the instructions in the photo to create your masterpiece.

And here is an example of creating a crab . To roll a towel into this shape you need to:

1. Place it vertically;
2. Fold the sides inside the towel.
3. Straighten the bottom of the towel;
4. Roll it halfway from the bottom up;
5. Remove the side ends;
6. Bend them down;
7. Fold the top corner of the towel down and inward by a third;
8. Wrap again. You will get a head.

You will definitely want to play with such souvenirs.

We create masterpieces for the fair half

Girls can be fascinated by many things: a beautiful sunset, a fancy pattern on their favorite towel, etc. I think it won’t be difficult to please them with a wonderful towel product. Moreover, women can be given both a kitchen waffle and a terry bath towel.

For a girl you can create:

• roses,
• swans,
• cake.

Roses. All girls undoubtedly love to be pampered, given attention and given flowers. All this can be embodied in one simple surprise. So I propose to create a floral gift, as in the video:

You can choose any color of the towel. But if you want the flower to look more natural, choose pink, yellow, peach, burgundy or white. You don’t have to limit yourself to just one flower; prepare a whole bouquet.

Swans. These beautiful birds are a symbol of pure and true love, tenderness and devotion. Swans should always be given in pairs. By creating this miracle from a towel, you will convey the full depth of your feelings. This photo shows how to properly design this craft:

Cake. Despite the fact that all women do not eat after 18.00, and flour and sweets are generally taboo, this gift will not leave her indifferent. You will need:

• Pen;
• Scissors;
• Ruler;
• Wrapping;
• Scotch;
• Decorative cherry;
• Towel.

For the rest, this video will help:

Very popular gifts for loved ones for a variety of holidays are bath accessories, including terry sheets and towels. You can, of course, just carefully roll up this textile and put it in a bag, or you can design it in a very original way and turn a boring package into something original.

let's consider different variants packaging of towels so that you can always choose the right one for a specific holiday or for one of your loved ones.

Master classes on packing towels

The simplest option: carefully place the towels in an even stack, tie them with a beautiful ribbon and decorate with decor suitable for the holiday.

You can tie each rolled towel with a cord, braid or rope - this option prevents the textile product from unrolling, which is important if you want to give a set of small towels or napkins as a gift.

To make the gift look stylish and harmonious, try to follow the color scheme. You can choose matching or contrasting packaging - it all depends on your desire.

It is better to pack colored towels with a pattern in a plain box, but if you choose plain-dyed textiles, then you can choose brighter packaging.

Delicate pastel baby towels look very cute, complemented with embroidery or appliqués. The photo shows factory packaging, but using this idea, you can come up with something similar yourself.

This option is perfect for a man.

But this one - more delicate, complemented by beautiful decor - is for a woman.

Towels designed in the form of a bale with a handle look quite simple, but look funny. The handle is woven from regular yarn. On one side we attach a brush made of threads, on the other - a small bottle with a cosmetic product or aromatic oil... In the photo, the bottle is braided, but you can use, for example, a piece of mesh or simply tie the neck of the bottle tightly.

By the way, you can also attach a mesh washcloth to such a gift - it fits perfectly into the likeness of a flower. You can put it in the sling wooden comb or a bath brush if the towel is large enough. But it is better to give such gifts exclusively to the closest family members, otherwise you may be misunderstood and inadvertently offended.

Roll the towel into a long thin roll and place it in a narrow cellophane or organza bag. All that remains is to tighten the top with ribbon and attach the decor. This option is very simple, compact and good if you need to prepare a lot of small gifts - for example, for a team on March 8 or February 23.

Additionally, you can attach a postcard-label on a long string to such a gift to emphasize the theme of the holiday.

The “Candy” option is almost the same, only we tie the packaging on both sides, simulating a candy wrapper. The length of the “candy” may vary.

In the photo you see transparent plastic boxes, but in a cellophane wrapper your soft “candy” will look even better, because you can use gift paper and mica with drawings.

The theme of confectionery in the decor of gifts made from towels can perhaps be called predominant. Love how cute the “lollipops” are rolled up from small towels or napkins in two colors.

You can decorate small napkins by wrapping them individually in tulle or mesh. This option is good for small gifts and prizes at a holiday. Textile items are rarely purchased for prizes because they are inconvenient and often not packaged. But if you arrange them in this way, then your Santa Claus at a corporate party may well take such “sweets” out of the bag.

And here are the “lollipops” - very festive!

Cute “rolls”, right? They are easy to make from small baby towels or terry napkins. A paper rosette, a decorative cherry - and the “treat” can be served.

Why not muffins? Cardboard rosette, soft “cupcake” with berries. The role of the berry is played by a candy on a stick. The kids will definitely love it!

In a similar way, you can decorate napkins for the holiday table, especially. if it is a youth party or a children's party and starched napkins are not expected.

Sandwiches made from kitchen napkins. Why not? You can even use real food containers - it will look even more natural.

Do you want to decorate your towels in the form of a roll? It could be a “Christmas log”, a “Fairy Tale” cake or a fluffy roll with whipped cream - it’s all about what color of towel you use and what lekor you add.

We make “ice cream” in the same way as muffins, but instead of cardboard packaging we use a transparent plastic cup. Add with a stick or spoon.

You can use disposable conical glasses.

A simpler option in the form of a horn.

The cake towel design is great when you decide to give a large gift that includes a set of towels different sizes and a bath sheet. What shape to put together the “cake” and how many tiers it will have depends on the total quantity and volume of textiles.

Such a “cake” - good gift for a wedding or on the occasion of the birth of a baby. You can decorate it in a variety of styles and don’t skimp on additional items and decor. Taking into account the size of the structure, you can hide a small surprise gift inside, which will delight the recipient after the holiday, when the single “cake” ceases to exist.

The “cake” can also be made with filling, placing many useful items inside.

Textile “bottles” are a very original option! And it’s not at all necessary to look for similar gift sets on sale - just print out templates for packaging boxes and labels on a printer.

If you are fond of handicrafts and know how to work with paper, then your packaging can become a real exclusive! After all, one glance is enough for a needlewoman to appreciate the idea and come up with a hundred of her own decor options.

Simple and elegant! A great gift for March 8th. Just like in the previous version, we simply print out the box or make it from thick cardboard and decorate it as desired.

Candles. Look - how simple, but how original! A wonderful gift option for New Year or Christmas. You can experiment a little and create candles with a “flame” of a different color by placing a small red or yellow napkin (or something else suitable) inside each twist.

Textile roses can be not only decorative, but also quite functional! You just need to unpack the bouquet to be convinced of this. This gift is suitable for practical housewives - both flowers and benefits!

A bouquet of roses can also be used for a baby. And you can add a variety of children's things to the bouquet - from milk bottles to soft toys.

A lovely delicate composition - all you need is a rose, a beautiful bag and suitable material to secure the folded towel.

The same thing, only in a box.

Very interesting option for a set of napkins of different colors. It will look beautiful in a box with a transparent lid.

A heart is, of course, the most suitable option for Valentine's Day. To keep the structure in shape, use a heart-shaped backing. The backing can be glued together from cardboard or use a disposable container (they also come in the shape of a heart).

Towel package with cosmetics, a postcard and a bow will please any woman.

Or you can put everything in a box and give it as a gift. or chest.

Cute design, similar to pea pods. Just four napkins and two ribbons, but it looks so interesting!

A bag with kitchen towels - bright, elegant, beautiful!

What is a kitchen without vegetables?

But another option for the kitchen is an even more practical gift.

And in conclusion - the most interesting designs made from towels - figures of men and animals. Some of them are quite complex, some are simple to perform, but all of them are very amazing and always attract attention.

There is no point in describing all this - here it is better to turn to master classes. In the meantime, just admire and dream about what holiday you would like to prepare similar gifts for your family.

A towel is an indispensable item in everyday life, which makes them a very versatile and pleasant gift. However, like any gift, it requires an interesting and original design.

In this article we will tell you step by step how you can turn an ordinary piece of fabric into a creative surprise that you can pleasantly surprise your friends and family with.

Which towel to choose

There are many varieties of this seemingly simple piece of fabric, each with a different purpose.

How to apply

Folk imagination has invented many ways to beautifully fold a towel as a gift. Especially for you, we have put together short master classes, which, once mastered, will allow you to make original and beautiful gifts.

"Sushi"

You will need a set of small towels, black ribbon, green and red, and chopsticks.

Carefully roll the towels into sushi-shaped rolls. Tie them with black ribbon (it will act as nori seaweed). Place the resulting sushi on a plate, place soap (wasabi and ginger) next to it.

Complete the composition with chopsticks and you're done! This “sushi set” will be a great surprise.

"Ice cream"

This method is one of the simplest, but gifts made in this way will be a cool surprise for any girl’s birthday or March 8th.

You will need two small, thin towels of different colors, a large glass tumbler, and a popsicle stick.

Place the towels on top of each other and roll them up. Place them in a glass and stick a stick on top.

These simple manipulations can be completed in one or two minutes, so this is an ideal option for those who are short on time.

"Cake"

This method is suitable for decorating large terry towels (for example, bath towels). We will need pieces of soap made in the shape of fruits and flowers, which we will simply beautifully lay out on a towel rolled into a square.

If you have several of them, the cake can be made into two or even three tiers. In this case, it is better to bandage it with a multi-colored bandage.

"Pirozhenki"

From towels and clothes for newborns you can make at least interesting surprises, which are perfect for young mothers.

We will need socks and rompers, folding them in half with towels, we will get cute multi-colored rolls.

All that remains is to decorate them with artificial berries (strawberries, grapes, plums, etc.), which can be bought at any decor store or hand-made fair.

If you are too lazy to decorate a surprise with your own hands, you can always purchase ready-made kits and kits - they are sold in abundance in online stores.

A beautifully packaged item is the key to an excellent gift. And if we are talking about towels that are folded in an original way for a gift, then such a surprise will delight any housewife. Today we will tell you how to make a real work of art from a towel.

Origami is the art of making paper figures and has spread widely from Japan throughout the world. What if you use a towel instead of a paper sheet? Origami from towels is an original, interesting and not at all difficult activity. In addition, the resulting products can be used to decorate a room, as independent interior items, and also as a gift. For example, it could be a handmade bottle made from a towel. We will tell you how to do this in our article.

• to make some figures you will need a square;
• for others - rectangular products.

There are several important secrets:

• To save figures better shape, you can pre-starch textiles.
• If you want to make a realistic item, you better choose towels in matching colors. For example, white and orange textiles are suitable for making a fox, and brown textiles for a monkey or bear. And black and white fabrics will make a charming penguin.
