- Take colorful napkins, do not unfold them, let them be folded 4 times, as they were sold in the store. Fold each diagonally, and then fold the resulting triangle in half again.
- Draw a petal on this element, cut it out, unfold it. Make a few more of these blanks. Stack the flowers so that the rose petals of the previous row are visible between the petals of the next.
- Make 2 punctures with an awl side by side, so that 2 holes are formed in each workpiece at the same distance. Thread a thread here, tie it on the wrong side with a knot. Spread out the petals and see what beautiful paper roses you have.
Decorating gifts with these flowers from napkins will also be ideal. See how easy this decorating element is.
Place the napkin as shown in the photo. Holding the corner of it, cut out 2 edges with wavy lines. Unfold the napkin. Beginning at the top edge, fold it accordion-like. Tie the resulting blank with a thread in the center. Connect the opposite edges, straighten the petals, after which you can decorate a gift with such a flower.
Diaper gift cake
And here is another interesting gift design option. Present such a diaper cake to the parents of a newborn, they will certainly be delighted with a useful gift, and even beautifully decorated.

- at least 84 diapers;
- white tape;
- double sided tape;
- decorative ribbons;
- items for decoration: pacifier, rattles, socks, booties, etc.;
- optional - cake stand.
For this diaper cake we used Pampers Newborn Swaddlers - pack of 84.
For the lower tier, take about half - 40-50 pieces. Lay each on the side, fold them in a spiral in relation to each other. Tie the tier in the middle of the white tape to hold it together.
If you want a wider diaper cake, insert a paper towel sleeve into the center of the cake.
In the same technique, make the middle tier, about 2/3 of this package of diapers will go to it, and 1/3 of it will go to the upper floor.
It's time to arrange a gift. Do this with a wide ribbon, braid. Measure their length according to the diameter of the tier, cut, sew the ends or tie on a bow. Tie nipples, rattles, booties here. These gifts for the baby will not only decorate the diaper cake, but will also be useful for the baby.
Diapers for boys and girls will turn into an original cake if you also use diapers in addition to them.
Here are the materials you will need to decorate your gift:
- diapers;
- diapers;
- clothespins;
- wrapping paper;
- stand for the cake;
- socks, nipples, spoons.
Take out the diapers one at a time, twist the belts from the elastic into a tube, and in order not to unfold, fasten with clothespins. Now take the first diaper, designed in this way, place another 6 around it. Tie this blank of seven diapers with a rubber band. Then fold the diaper, wrap it around this structure, wrap it with tape.
This will create a small top tier of the cake. To make it in the middle, lay six around one rolled diaper, tie the structure. Place 12 more diapers around it.
They also need to be wrapped in a folded diaper, securing it. You have made a diaper bunk cake blank.
If you want it to consist of three or four floors, then make the lower ones too. They form a little differently. To prevent the diapers from unrolling, fasten them piece by piece. Place six more around the first, secure with an elastic band. Make several similar blanks, lay them in a circle, tie with a ribbon.
This is what a beautiful diaper cake you get.
It remains to decorate the gift, decorating the tiers with artificial grass, putting baby socks and rattles between the diapers. You can decorate the top of the cake with a flower from a napkin.

To find out how much wrapping paper you need, determine the length and width you want. Put a box in the center of it, wrap it up so that you get an overlap of 2-3 cm on all sides.
Fold back the right edge 1 cm, fix this fold and using tape. Blend this edge over the opposite edge, pointing them towards each other.
To wrap a gift from the small sides, fold them as shown in the photo, first putting paper here on one side, then making corners on both sides. They also need to be bent in this direction, cover everything from above with paper from the underside of the sidewall.
To fix the package in this position, glue the joint with tape. In the same way, secure the two sides of the paper with which you wrapped the box at the very beginning. Decorate the other side of the gift as well.
To decorate the package, cut a wide strip out of colored paper to match the wrapper. Wrap a box with it, cut off the excess, connect the ends with tape. Tie a decorative cord on top.
Gift decoration can be slightly different.
If your wrapping paper is double-sided, you need to cut a lot of it. Then turn off the right edge by 5 centimeters, put it on the box, slip the left one under it.
Then the side will get this beauty.
