New Year's souvenir

New Year's souvenirs bring the spirit of the holiday, so it's better to give them a little in advance - so that the gift has time to settle down in the house and create the right atmosphere happy holiday... It could be something related to chinese calendar- future a year will pass under the sign of the Rat (mouse), which means that any cute rat may well become a wonderful holiday gift.

Photo gifts

This is the easiest and at the same time very touching way to make a present for parents for the New Year with your own hands, especially if you consider that you practically don’t have to do anything “with your own hands” - the main thing is to find a good idea and devote some time to preparation.

Gifts decorated with pictures will highlight your feelings for your parents and will remind them of you all year long.

What could it be:

1. the calendar;
2. phone cases;
3. decorative pillows;
4. mugs and dishes;
5. photo book.

There are print-on-demand services for creating photo gifts that print photos and images on almost anything. You only need to pick up the photos and place them correctly on the selected object.

For example, for a calendar, you can select nice pictures the whole family or some funny moments, or you can make a special photo session for this. By the way, good gift a simple family photo printed on a huge canvas can also become - it will not only decorate your parents' living room, but will also warm them every day.

If you want to make a photo gift, then choose the brightest and highest quality frames. It is not necessary that there are people in the pictures - someone will like a mug with a portrait of their beloved cat, and my husband's mother was delighted with a wall calendar with photographs of her precious orchids, which she grows herself.

Take a closer look at Everyday life person, pay attention to what he devotes most of his time and try to use it somehow - then you will really like the gift!

Sweet gifts

To be honest, this is my favorite way to make a present for someone with my own hands. If you like to cook, then prepare a magical gift for your loved ones - sweets immerse each of us in childhood, and those with a sweet tooth simply cannot imagine happy holiday without all kinds of sweets.

What sweet gifts you can make yourself:

• gingerbread cookies for the New Year tree;
• painted gingerbread;
• chic Gingerbread house;
• cake;
• cakes;
• handmade candies.

I must say right away that I prefer to make sweet gifts so that it is not just an addition to festive table, it is best to give something individual. Choose the dessert that seems most interesting to you and try to make it New Year's.

Where is the difference between a regular gingerbread and a festive one? First, the dessert you make must be well done. If you are sure that your dough will burn, and instead of neat sand men you will get mummies, then it is better to choose another gift.

Secondly, at the first glance at such a gift, it should be clear that it was made with love and for a specific person. A small gingerbread house can look very impressive, but it is not too difficult to assemble it.

While baking and decorating a fancy cake is not very easy (although, there are secrets here too). And finally, thirdly, the gift must be well wrapped. I'm not talking about the familiar gift wrapping, colorful paper and lush bows, no.

Or you can make such a Christmas tree from sweets and tea:

Watch the video tutorial on how to create a candy tea tree:

Make a small bundle of pure, unbleached linen, tie a gift tag to a ribbon, and hang a small wooden star to highlight your gift and make it special.

If you want to make a do-it-yourself gift in the form of sweets for your mom for the New Year or Christmas, then choose an original recipe - for example, an exquisite cookie with drops of dark chocolate, ginger and pepper, cook it well, decorate it and pack it well, and mom will be delighted with the gift, because that it will feel your concern.

Handmade postcard

Made by hand can be both an addition to a gift and a small independent present - for example, to a colleague or boss. You should not fall into childhood and try to cut a postcard from old unused wallpaper - visit a handicraft store, where you can purchase a blank for a postcard (specially folded cardboard), as well as the necessary decor.

It is best to watch a lesson on making a postcard with your own hands, and then buy materials from the list - for example, it can be a blank, New Year's cutting (volumetric elements made of thick cardboard), decorative scotch tapes (most often paper, with an ornament) and various decorations.

Some of the materials can be replaced (for example, colored powder for embossing can be easily replaced with any coloring pigment - including decorative shadows or glitter for manicure). Try to make the card not only beautiful, but also neat.

Handicraft as a gift

This category includes decorative items for the home, and various knick-knacks, and hand-knitted accessories. You can make gifts for the new year 2020 with your own hands, even if you do not know how to do needlework at all, but you are ready to try your hand and you like original gifts for the new year.

Do-it-yourself gift for the new year:

• decorative clocks;
• knitted scarf;
• decorative panel;
• soft toy;

Let's consider each option in more detail.

Interior panel, clock or toy. You will need here good idea... The mechanism for watches can be purchased at any craft store, you can use plastic or thick cardboard as a base, you can also make a watch based on a white plate, which you can decorate to your taste.

The best place to start is with an idea. To make a gift to your beloved husband for the new year with your own hands, you need to imagine at least a little what your spouse will be happy about. Is he into extreme sports? Make him a fun, extreme style wall clock. Rooting for a sports team? Place the names of the players under the appropriate number instead of the numbers on the dial.

An interior panel as a gift to a loved one is quite simple, you need a large wooden or plastic frame in which you will make your panel. You can try to make a portrait using an unusual technique - from different photographs or threads, from fingerprints or ordinary scotch tape.

Think about what a new year gift a guy would like to receive from you? Perhaps a confirmation of your feelings? Or something that can bring out the best in him?

Knitting or sewing

If you do not know what to present to dad for the new year, then try to do something with your own hands from threads and nails, for example, a similar picture in style string art.

How to do this, see the video instructions:

If you have minimal knitting skills, then you can try to tackle something really difficult - a sweater or socks, and if you are far from this type of needlework, then it is better to knit something small.

A hat, scarf, or something simple. In this case, the main thing is to choose a good yarn that can hide any pattern errors and not too confident loops. By the way, the guy-motorist will enjoy a funny cover for a steering wheel or headrest knitted from fluffy yarn like a teddy bear.

Best Memories Jar

This present is suitable for both lovers and parents or best friends... Remember and write on small pieces of paper all the warmest and brightest memories associated with the recipient, then fold the pieces of paper, tie each with a ribbon and put them in a beautiful jar.

Now you can choose a gift of your choice and make it yourself, and you also know what to look for when packing.

Going through the little things that have accumulated at home, you often ask yourself: what can you do with your own hands at home with all this so that the products are of high quality, beautiful and functional?

From my own experience, sometimes all that separates us from great homemade products is our own insecurity and lack.

On the Internet, you can find many workshops on making things from a variety of available tools: plastic dishes, purchased blanks, pallets, old tires, etc.

But you must admit: rarely does anyone have old tires from Kamaz, from which you can make a pouf, but there will be difficulties with pallets if you do not have your own cafe or store.

We propose to go the other way and solve two problems at once in one fell swoop: do without expensive purchases and concentrate on eco-handmade from natural materials that can be easily found at home.

Postcards, decorations and crafts

The simplest of those things that you can do with your own hands at home are small products made of paper, fabric and simple author's decor details.

Making these little things works well as it develops fine motor skills hands and stimulates the unrestrained creativity of kids.

But it cannot be said that the activity is purely childish: many adults, carried away by hand-made, make amazing things from simple materials and even on them, selling on the Internet.

Postcards

Let's start with the simplest. Colorful homemade postcards, with some diligence, are not inferior in beauty and quality to purchased ones.

Advice: if you were suddenly invited to, and you think that you can do it yourself at home and present to the birthday boy, start with a postcard. It's simple - even a novice handmaker can handle it, and the memory and pleasant emotions from such a gift will remain for a long time.

There are many options for postcards: simple (flat), opening, with three-dimensional figures inside; made of paper or fabric; decorated with appliqués, drawings, inscriptions, etc.

The simplest and at the same time an original gift can be a do-it-yourself postcard

In terms of materials, you can find everything you need to create postcards at home.

The mandatory minimum is a pencil, pen, scissors, PVA glue and, of course, paper (preferably thicker - Whatman paper or thin cardboard).

Here's what else you can use to create postcards:

1. Colored paper. These do not have to be new sheets - the scraps left over from the child's crafts will do.
2. Foil from chocolate and sweets.
3. Unnecessary details from old jewelry: cabochons, rhinestones, etc.
4. Trimming of fabrics. Almost any will work, but it is best to take samples without fluffy lint.
5. Threads.
6. Colored pencils, pens, markers. For the design of the inscriptions, you can take black or colored liners - they practically do not smear and draw with clear lines of a given thickness.
7. Watercolor paints. If you have children school age, then the simplest set of watercolors at home can be found - they are quite enough for crafting postcards.

For the preparation of a souvenir, the remains of bright, fabric, beads, ribbons will be useful

Also, you may need stationery knife and superglue ("Moment", "Second").

The list of materials can be continued for a very long time, because literally anything can be used to create postcards.

At one time, I got myself a special box, in which I put any little things that seemed suitable to me - even if I didn't have any specific ideas for their use at that time.

Experience has shown that in the end absolutely everything is used.

The main thing is to be patient free time and the desire to please loved one

Tip: to make your cards look stylish and harmonious, remember the most popular formats for their production: rectangle 105x148 mm (A6 format), elongated rectangle 98x210 mm, squares 140x140 and 120x120 mm.

Let's look at how to make a regular A6 postcard with your own hands.

1. The first step is to prepare the foundation. Let's take the option that you will definitely find in your home: a regular A4 sheet. Fold it in half along the wide side, making sure the edges converge very precisely. Glue the sheet so that the halves fit snugly together. Let it dry, then fold over the wide side again. The base for the postcard is ready.
2. Now come up with a design. Consider the materials available, think about which ones you want to use, which ones work best with each other. You can draw a sketch on a separate piece of paper. Visualize as much as possible in your head the postcard you want to make - and, selecting necessary materials, get to work.
3. Process the decor elements. If you decide to place a curly paper or fabric applique on the postcard, cut out the required shape in advance. Prepare everything that you will attach to the front of the card: colored paper, bows, rhinestones, fabric, etc.
4. If you don't want to leave the background of the card white, now you need to color it. Take watercolors or markers and apply a light coat suitable color... You can add antiquity to paper by coloring it with tea or coffee. And if you throw a few grains of salt on wet watercolor, you get beautiful snowflake patterns. Remember to let the paper dry after painting.
5. Decorate front side products with prepared decor.
6. Sign the centerfold postcard with an accompanying note a beautiful poem or just a short congratulatory phrase.

The original homemade postcard is ready!

Do not limit yourself in experiments and flight of imagination.

Try different styles and materials, sizes and options of paper. Look for your own signature handwriting and, most importantly, don't give up if you don't like the first results.

As in any business, it all depends not only on talent, but also on perseverance and practice.

Decorations

Among the things that you can do with your own hands at home, jewelry is one of the most popular options.

You can wear them yourself or give them to someone, or you can sell them, getting from your own not only pleasure, but also material reward.

Children just love these original bracelets from ice cream sticks!

The simplest option, which you can attract young children to make, is bracelets from ordinary wooden sticks from ice cream.

It should be honestly noted: such bracelets, both in size and in style, are primarily for children.

Little needlewomen and craftsmen are happy to participate in the creative transformation of familiar objects into bright jewelry - especially if you later decorate the bracelet as he pleases.

These bracelets are made very simply. You will need:

1. Ice cream sticks (one per bracelet)
2. Beakers of a suitable diameter

First, place all the sticks in one container and fill with water so that it completely covers our blanks.

Since they are wooden and float easily, cover the container with a lid or something else.

Check the sticks after a while. Having soaked well, they will begin to bend without breaking.

Then they need to be placed in a glass, bent inside or outside close to the walls.

I like to wrap the sticks around the glass more, pressing on top with strong rubber bands: this way the finished product will more likely take the desired shape.

Leave the blanks to dry in a warm, dry place.

After complete drying, the bases will remain curved, and you can start decorating the product.

A wooden bracelet for a girl can be decorated with rhinestones, turning a real princess into an accessory, and a bracelet for a boy can be decorated with the emblem of your favorite superhero.

Another useful cutie is a jewelry stand

Tip: it is better to use superglue to glue decorative elements to wood, and after painting it is worth covering the product with varnish.

Bracelets are a rich soil for creativity. It is easy to imagine what you can do with your own hands at home, having a fishing line and beads at hand.

But I propose to pay attention to more non-standard products - Shambhala wicker bracelets, which are great for both adults and children from 12 years old.

Such a self-made product is both a talisman and a stylish accessory that combines patterned weaving with beads.

Popular Shambhala bracelets can be easily made with your own hands

To weave Shambhala you will need:

1. An odd number of beads made of wood or natural stone.
2. Two smaller beads - for the clasp.
3. The base cord is of such thickness that the selected beads can be freely strung on it. Take the length of the base cord based on the girth of your wrist plus ten centimeters on each side for the fasteners.
4. The main weave cord is three to four times longer than the base (it is better to take longer for the first tests). Thicker threads work well for braiding.
5. One lace about forty centimeters long for making a fastener.

It is convenient to weave Shambhala bracelets from waxed threads, but it is not necessary to run for them to the store. Experiment!

I wove one of my coolest bracelets from ordinary twine and a strong "iris" thread at the base.

Advice: to make Shambhala even and harmonious, fasten the weaving. To do this, you can use a tight stationery clip and a clipboard (or book cover).

We start to weave. Tie a knot of braid thread about ten centimeters from the end of the base cord so that it divides the thread into two equal length ponytails.

Now you need to knit knots from these ponytails around the base cord, alternately threading one thread under it, and the other above.

After making the desired number of knots, string the first bead onto the base and continue braiding immediately behind it.

Alternate knotted beads using gaps of your choice); at the end, do not forget to knit the same number of knots simple weaving as in the beginning. Finish with a knot.

Making designer jewelry may well become an additional source of income for you.

If you used a natural thread, apply a drop of PVA glue to the final knot, let it dry, then cut off the excess cord.

If the thread was synthetic, carefully cut the ends and burn the ponytails with a lighter or a match - of course, being careful.

Moving on to the lock. Take the ponytails left over on either side of the bracelet, fold them together and tie several knots with a third cord.

Fasten the lock in the same way you fastened the bracelet. Place small beads on the remaining tails of the base cord and tie the ends in knots.

Your own beautiful Shambhala bracelet is ready.

Congratulations! This is an exciting activity, so do not be surprised if after a while you present these amulets to all your acquaintances and think about where to put new products.

Sell ​​- let others appreciate your talent!

Crafts

What can you do with your own hands at home for children under 10 years old? Of course, toys are a safe bet.

Usually, for sewing dolls, you need a lot of additional materials such as special fillers, and sewing skills are higher than the basic level.

But there is also such an option that the children themselves will cope with (and will be happy to help you): these are reeled dolls.

Captivate your child with making a cute motanka doll

To make them, you will need different-colored pieces of fabric - any pieces of old unnecessary clothing will do.

For the base, the body of the doll, it is better to choose something light: an old white sheet or thin burlap, but for clothes you can take any color you like.

You will also need ordinary sewing threads, optional ribbons and other little things for decoration.

The doll is made like this:

1. Roll one piece of fabric into a three-dimensional rectangle or cube. This is the base of the reel head.
2. Put a square piece of light-colored fabric on it, gather it on one side and wrap it with sewing thread. No nodes need to be done: a large number of thread will fix itself and will not unwind.
3. Take another square piece of light colored fabric. The length from corner to corner is the arm span of our doll, so choose accordingly. Roll this piece into a roll, wrap the sewing thread around your wrists.
4. Tie the "sausage" of the hands to the body of the pupa under the head. It is best to do this by winding the threads crosswise.
5. Choose a few different colored pieces of fabric for your doll's clothes. Make a skirt, preferably with two or more layers of fabric: it looks very cool. Secure the skirt with thread, twine, or tape.
6. Another piece of fabric will be used to make a scarf. Fold a triangle from the cut and tie it around the doll's head.

Traditionally, reeled dolls are made without faces - these are impersonal amulets.

I know that faceless dolls scare some people, so if you don't put any additional meanings into it, you can safely embroider or draw a face on the fabric, giving your doll individuality.

Such a doll will at the same time become your personal amulet.

Today you learned how to create all kinds of beautiful and useful things, and I am sure that you can expand your arsenal of skills further.

For inspiration, I suggest watching this video on the topic of what you can do with your own hands at home:

Many people stop wearing out-of-date or out-of-date items. Why get rid of? We recommend that you simply turn on your imagination and turn old clothes into a new thing. Let's think about what can be made from old clothes? We will show you a lot of options:

Butterfly

It is easy to make a male or female bow tie. From satin shirts, silk blouses, we cut out the desired shape according to the template. We sew the edges, and tighten the middle with a small strip of the same material. Skip the rubber band or homemade lace.

1.3 Website development on uCoz → detailed review

All the power of uCoz is hidden in a solid set of modules and the ability to edit the source code of pages (html, css, php, js). There are a lot of settings, but most beginners will find no more than a third useful / understandable. The rest is for growth. You can define the set of modules yourself.

Users looking for where to set up an online store will be the loudest. In this field uCoz is omnipotent, thanks to the module "Online Store" (the so-called uShop). Of the necessary, there is even synchronization with the accounting products of the 1C company. Import from CSV and YML will allow you to export products from a file or parse from AliExpress / Yandex.Market. This will allow you to quickly fill your own and deploy partner stores from the indicated sites. Thanks to subagents, you can make a real supermarket in which other sellers will sell their goods, and the store owner will receive a percentage from them.

In the online store based on uCoz, you can sell any type of goods: material, electronic, product file, product as a service. Set discounts, promotions, markups, set options (color, size, quantity), use the shipping cost calculator. Many of the most different ways payment and delivery. There are a whole bunch of different fine settings, in general, the whole variety cannot be enumerated.

Separately, it should be noted that the system is beneficial for those who need to create a website for a state institution. Besides the fact that you can use it for free, there is another interesting nuance. There is a law according to which such resources are required to have a version for the visually impaired. In uCoz, this version can be turned on in one click. For non-commercial and educational sites, Yukoz is an ideal choice in every way. In addition to all educational sites, advertisements are removed for free upon request to technical support.

Connecting a paid tariff can simplify your life. First of all, the disappearance of the advertising banner of the system ( advertising is displayed only on sites created free of charge). Premium user status will allow you to make the most of the additional features of uCoz without restrictions. The loyalty program will allow you to get any tariff with a 50% discount during the first 48 hours when creating a new website. Plus, you can get a free domain and a premium template of your choice (if you subscribe for a year starting from "Optimal").

There are five service packages available on uCoz:

1. "Minimum" ($ 2.99 / mo or $ 28 / year)- reduced advertising banner, +1 GB space, antivirus, Yandex.Fids module.
2. Basic ($ 5.99 / mo or $ 57 / year)- no ads, 2 GB of space, 1 call to premium support, auto-backup of data once every 2 weeks.

5. "Maximum" ($ 15.99 / month or $ 153 / year)- 20 GB of space, live chat with technical support, auto-reservation every 3 days.

The uCoz web service is equally well suited for beginners, pros, and web studios. A large selection of free and professional premium templates, universal functionality, a million additional functions, the convenience of the admin panel and low cost (or the complete absence of such on the Free plan). After using it, most engines will seem dull, limited. Start your journey with Yukoz and you will no longer need the rest of the tools in the future. You will be able to solve any problems without going beyond its limits. An engine for all occasions.

2. Order on a turnkey basis or do it yourself?

For CMS, you will definitely need to purchase hosting, domain and related components of the site (optional - template, plugins). In general, in the creation of a site, in any case, you need to invest at least the cost of the domain or the minimum tariff of the chosen designer (approximately $ 4-8 / month). No other way.

3. Creation of a website in a notebook. Is that really possible?

Purely theoretically, this is possible. Moreover, on the web you can find many ancient web pages created by hand using notepad. But such a “site” by its appearance will evoke nostalgia for the dashing 90s. Nowadays, hardly anyone in their right mind will be delighted with such a site.

So creating a website in a notebook is an archaism and a relic of the past. Nobody does that anymore. The creation of simple pages in Notepad was previously used to teach HTML in various courses. No more.

For the money, it is most profitable to create a website with your own hands. This is technically a bit more difficult than ordering it from a developer. But it will cost several times cheaper, and there will be a clear understanding of what and how it works, saving on further maintenance or improvements.
