Gifts made with their own hands, will help show you the creative and surprise the recipient of how well you know it and understand its interests and desires. If you are not going to be limited to a couple of parting words, try making a cake of paper with wishes. Traditionally, this article is made of at least six fragments, which means that you can fill out so many individual cards.
What are cakes of desires?
There are two ways to make a cake with wishes from paper, in the first case you collect a round dessert from individual triangles, in the second you make your confectionery product multi-tiered. Draw a scheme of crafts and determine how many wishes you will write. Remember that this gift is not just a beautiful souvenir. If desired, a cake made of paper with wishes can be used as a package for quite serious presents. Even in a small dessert there are keys to a new apartment or villa, a mobile phone or a jewelry. But the usual wishes with symbolic souvenirs will certainly please the addressee of the gift no less.
If we make a "rounded" cake cut into pieces, then we need to collect six identical triangles. Draw a piece of paper on the paper for a three-dimensional piece. It consists of two identical triangles and sides. Try to collect the paper blank, make sure that everything is done correctly, and only after that cut out all six pieces of cardboard. To create a multi-tiered cake, use ready-made boxes of the same shape and size. You can make them yourself. Each element should open freely, all other sides decorate to your liking. You can paste the cake with a cloth or paper, foil and other decorative materials. Use for decoration artificial flowers, beads, bows and any other decorative objects. Attach a little imagination - and your creation will be indistinguishable from this confectionery product. Did you know that pieces of polystyrene are like meringues, and coconut shavings and powdered sugar can be used for decorating inedible cakes?
The most important thing is inside!
As soon as the cake is finished with the outer design, it's time to fill it with segments or tiers. Prepare greeting cards or cards of the same type. Write your wishes on them and come up with a symbolic designation for each of them. For example, if you want love - put a souvenir in the form of a heart, the symbol of travel can become a shell or flag of the country your friend wants to go to. Do not forget about good health, which can symbolize vitamins or packaged activated carbon, as well as the desire for a "sweet life" or "good mood" with the addition of a note of a couple of chocolate bars. A cake made of paper with wishes can be made individually using symbols associated with the professional or amateur activities of the addressee. Representatives of creative professions wish inspiration, athletes new victories. Do not forget to add to the cake from paper with the wishes of real money or a gift certificate for the purchase of some goods or services - this will make your present even more valuable.
