Bouquet of socks

Flower arrangements, of course, are given to men. However, few people appreciate them. And here bouquet of socks will be an excellent addition to the main gift.

In addition to socks, you need to prepare wrapping paper, wooden skewers, pins, and ribbon.

Sequencing:

• you need to make a bend in the elastic area and start rolling;
• Having reached the middle, you need to turn the remaining part of the product in the other direction and continue to roll;
• We fix the resulting “rose” with a pin and thread it onto a skewer.

Textile flowers are collected into a bouquet and beautifully packaged. The gift is ready!

• plywood;
• instant glue or liquid nails;
• polymer clay;
• nail polish;
• acrylic paints or gouache, brush.

Before work, stones collected on the shore of a reservoir are washed and boiled for 10 minutes. Then they are dried.

• using beautiful corrugated paper you need to cover the surface of the box inside and outside;
• stick memorable photos on the inside on four sides;
• put notes with wishes in the box - from all family members;
• then you need to decorate the box lid in the same style as the main surface;

• The final stage is tying the box with ribbon and adding a beautiful postcard.

The photo shows an example of such a product.

Canister bar as a gift

The present looks original and is functional at the same time.

In addition to the canister itself, you will need wooden boards and hinges. You should select a handle, rubber seal and fasteners.

To work, you will need a drill equipped with a cutting disc, an angle grinder, and a jigsaw. You should also prepare:

• file;
• ruler-square;
• pen and marker;
• sandpaper;
• plane;
• drilling machine.

The sequence of actions looks like this:

1. It is necessary to make outlines for the front door. They are performed using a marker and a square.
   
2. Now you need to cut out the door. This is done with a grinder.To perform the manipulation, the canister must be secured somehow.
3. Install the rubberized seal on the door. It is glued moving along its edge.
   
4. The next stage is interior design. It’s worth thinking through this procedure based on what will be located here and how.
   
   
5. Making shelves for a bar. The boards are pre-sanded well. Markings are applied to them and the required products are cut out using a band saw.
   
6. Holes are drilled to connect the shelves to the support posts. They are made in each of the corners. It is good to fix the shelves using special clamps. When attaching them, you should place pieces of wood between the clamps and the shelf itself.
7. Careful polishing of the shelf is done. This is necessary for the correct fit of all components.
8. Attached to the base of a loop of a suitable shape. You can attach them, for example, 1.5 cm from the edge of the canister, as well as at a height of 10 and 27 cm. It is convenient to make marks at the places where the loops are fixed using a marker or a sharp nail.
9. Loops are installed at the marks, and if necessary, the sealing element is trimmed. This is done for ease of installation of the door, in which holes are also made for mounting hinges.
   
10. The shelves are being assembled. Depending on their chosen location inside the bar, the process can be either as simple as possible or fraught with certain difficulties.

After this, you should fill out the original homemade form.

These are the ideas you can use to make a DIY gift for a man’s 60th birthday. Some of them are simple, others require some effort and time.
