Such an original gift can be made for a loved one, boss, child or parents - everyone will like it. There are several ways to arrange a jar of happiness and put a wish list there. Consider the most original of them.

Method number 1. Jar with wishes in vintage style

A jar decorated in vintage style can be presented to anyone. It all depends on how you decorate the gift.

Important! Making a gift, try to take into account the preferences of the person to whom you want to give it.

To make such a jar with wishes you will need:

• A small glass or plastic jar.
• Paper.
• Twine (jute thread).
• Tea, coffee or milk.

First of all, you need to age the paper. You can do this with tea, coffee or milk and a lighter:

1. To make using tea or coffee, you need to brew one of these drinks, pour it into a rectangular bowl and drop sheets of paper there for 15 minutes.
2. After this, the paper must be carefully removed and hung to dry.
3. Before use it is recommended to iron with a iron.

Important! After soaking in tea and coffee, the paper becomes brittle and easily tears, so you need to work with it very carefully.

Further actions:

1. Using milk and fire, paper must also be aged carefully. Sprinkle milk on a paper sheet, and then hold a lighter under the sheet. In places where milk has fallen, yellow spots will appear.
2. On aged paper we make labels and wishes. You can write them by hand or, if you are not sure of the accuracy of your handwriting, print using a printer.

Important! Labels should have approximately the following contents: on the one that will be in front, we write the general topic of notes in the bank, their purpose. The second label indicates how to use the contents of the jar.

3. Glue the labels to the jar using double-sided tape or glue.
4. We hide the lower part of the labels under the twine, which is attached to the jar with glue.
5. The lid can also be slightly decorated. Make small drawings, sign who the jar is for, a little jute thread around the edges, and much more. Do not be afraid to show your imagination!
6. We wrap the leaves with wishes into a “roll” and tie them with a small piece of twine. We add ready-made wishes to the jar.

The number of wishes is up to you!

5 wish gift ideas

There are many gifts with wishes. Do-it-yourself jar with wishes is just one of them. Here are some more ideas for such gifts.

Wish Cake

A great gift for any holiday, because it combines two things beloved by many people: sweets and kind words. True, “sweets” in this case are not edible, but this is not important.

The idea is this: each piece of cake is a box in which there is a note with wishes. The design is entirely up to you.

Important! You can make each piece in your own unique style, or you can choose one for all. Of course, in the box you can put not only notes, but also real sweets, interesting little things and much more.

Tree with wishes

A gift for all occasions. It can be given for any occasion on your own or on behalf of the company. There are two options:

• The base of the tree is the trunk, you can draw or embroider on any surface.
• The second way is to make the trunk voluminous (their real branches or blanks, which are sold in stores). In this case, you will need another vase, pot or stand for wood.

Leaflets are cut out of cardboard or paper. On each leaflet wishes are written. Leaves are attached to the tree with the help of strings.

Important! In addition, you can decorate the tree with beads, flowers and ribbons.

Bag of sweets

“Bag of good mood” will be a great gift for children who love sweets. It is simple to execute, but it delivers a bunch of positives to the recipient:

1. From the fabric you need to sew the most ordinary bag.
2. We sew a piece of fabric with the inscription “Sack of good mood” or something like that.
3. A note with wishes is attached to each candy. This can be done with a ribbon or glued directly to the wrapper.

Wish Book

The book is done as follows:

• You can buy a notebook and make a beautiful cover for it with your own hands.
• And you can make your own book. To do this, fold regular office paper in half and fasten it with thread.

Important! The cover is done to your taste. You can decorate it with artificial flowers, rhinestones, beads and other bright little things.

The frequency of wishes in the book depends only on the decision of the creator. They can be written in a row or one per page. Also on the pages of the book can be found various drawings and decorations that cheer up.
