This year, too, many children are starting school for the first time. For all parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and neighbors who’d like to give a gift to a child starting school, I’ve created this colorful backpack as a fitting and original gift packaging for candy, small toys, and school supplies.



The backpack is made of photo cardstock. It measures approximately 16.5 x 22.5 x 9 cm, making it quite spacious. The backpack is easy to make and well-suited even for beginners with some crafting experience.

A small gift can be wonderfully tucked away in a knitted little bag. Then the wrapping is a gift in itself.

You need two leftover bits of sock yarn and a 2.5 mm set of double-pointed needles for this. The hearts are shown in a knitting chart.
A delightful little bag that is sure to bring joy to the recipient.

This cute bride and groom pair is an original wrapping for a cash gift or a wedding voucher. Hidden inside are Kinder Surprise egg capsules where you can tuck your surprise. If you match the hair color and hairstyle to those of the real bride and groom, you’ll have a truly unique gift that will remain one of the most beautiful keepsakes long after the celebration.
Crocheted with Catania by Schachenmayr (scraps are enough).

Gift wrapping and a good-luck charm all in one! Why not wrap your wine bottle in this fun bottle sleeve? It even keeps the wine cool to a certain extent. And it’s so fun to look at that it can later serve as a table decoration.

Here is the pattern.

Jars as packaging

Details & pattern

Everyone has old jars around the house: just use a few leftover yarn scraps to decorate the lids, fill the jars with a small treat, and your little gift is ready.

Quick and inexpensive to make.

For stuffed animals, scarves, shawls, bags, and similar gifts that are very difficult to wrap in gift paper, this box is ideal. It’s very easy to fill and, after being emptied, can be used again either as gift packaging or as a decorative storage box.
 

 
The box measures approx. 16.5 x 16.5 cm and is made from photo cardstock. It’s quick and easy to craft, but cutting out and gluing on the motif elements does take a little time.

For a wedding, people often give money so the bridal couple can fulfill their own wishes. 
You also think an envelope is boring? I have something a little different for you.....

A special wedding gift jar, filled with coins, is sure to be an eye-catcher at any celebration!!

This way to the pattern, please



Crochet Pattern: Gift Bags

These gift bags are perfect for many occasions. A small monetary gift can be nicely wrapped in one. They can also be attached to a larger gift. Perhaps with a few nice little treats (chocolates, candies...)

If you’re already thinking ahead to Christmas, I have a tip for you: just crochet 23 more gift bags, and you’ll have a great Advent calendar. The bag is really quick to crochet. However, you should already have basic crochet skills. Materials

• Crochet hook size 2.5
• a small amount of yarn, about 15 g 
• possibly beads for decoration
