So, there are many options. There is a choice. Some methods are very simple, others require special adaptations and work skills.

Ornaments from branches

Unusual gifts from a tree to a man can be made by February 23, New Year or birthday. From the branches you will get a beautiful frame for photo or packing, decor for a bottle of cognac or other alcohol. The work goes like this:

1. Slice the branches on the nature.
2. Divide each long piece into several short pieces along the length of your object, for example, the height of the vertical part of the bottle. Sections can be made perpendicular to the central axis or at an angle. In the second case, the cut will not be round, but oval.
3. Join the workpieces together in the form of a three-dimensional construction or a flat one, if you make a frame, using a thermo-gun or braid with a wire, twine. The latter easily fulfill the role of decor. This method will create original gifts in marine or rural subjects.

Decoupage

You can buy souvenirs made of wood in this technique. Gifts in the style of hand-made are now becoming more popular. But it is not difficult to make such an object yourself. The work goes like this:

1. Buy a wooden workpiece in the form of a heart, a house or letters. Simple in the form of a cutting board is easy to do yourself.
2. Clean the sanded surface with a special composition or any acrylic primer of white color. Even paint will do. As a tool for work use a brush or sponge (sponge).
3. Allow the preform to dry.
4. If necessary, repeat the procedure several times until a smooth surface is obtained without streaks and stains.
5. Take a special decoupage chart with drawings, rice paper or a regular table napkin and cut out, and it is better to pull out your fingers, neatly, leaving a little white background around the edges.
6. Do napkins must separate the layer with the image from the base, otherwise the white part will remain on the wooden workpiece, and the pattern will be unstuck.
7. Apply PVA glue or special decoupage on the picture laid on the wooden primer.
8. Gently brush the image on the surface of the wooden object from the center to the edges.
9. Glue so all the images.
10. After drying, brush the details (you can use the stencil).
11. Cover with varnish. If necessary, make several layers with the previous drying of the previous one.

Burning

In this way, you can make a personal gift from the tree with your own hands, as with the burner you will perform any inscription. The work is done simply:

1. A contour drawing of the desired pattern or image is applied to the wooden substrate.
2. With the burner tool you precisely circle the outlines of objects, do strokes - in a word, work like a pencil or pen.

Woodcarving

Original gifts made of wood you can perform by decorating the finished object carved in the form of a relief pattern. It's so good to decorate a panel, a cutting board. To cut on a rounded surface, for example, on a wooden glass, and especially repeating ornament is much more difficult, than a composition from different objects, suppose, on a New Year theme. As an idea, you can choose a bouquet of flowers in a vase. For the thread used special tools - sharp knives and chisels. The image is cut in the form of a relief on a previously applied contour image.

Painting on wood

If you know how to work with paintbrushes and paints, then it is easy to make exclusive gifts from wood on the anniversary of the wedding, anniversary or other holiday. The above described decoupage technique is a lightweight version of the painting. If you are able to perform complex images with a brush and paints yourself, no napkins and glue are needed. Choose or develop thematic images yourself, apply contour patterns on the wooden surface and begin to work. The remaining stages coincide with the technique of decoupage (priming, drying, application of varnish).

2. Apply the contours of the parts on the pattern so that you get a couple hugging.
3. Color the workpiece in the colors of those elements of clothing in which your acquaintances usually go, or in wedding dresses.
4. Dry the product.
5. Apply the lacquer, only dry it so that it does not stick together, that is, in the open form.

Gift for the wedding: a tree of spilov

The original souvenir can be made in the form of a panel on the wall. The created tree will symbolize strong family ties. In addition, on each slit, if the size allows, it is not difficult to write a wish or names of guests. To make such a souvenir, work like this:

1. Prepare the saws according to the size of your product. Do not make them too fat.
2. Remove the bark, dry and sand the surface of the workpieces.
3. Write the text on large cuts or follow it in the burning technique. You can also make some thematic drawings on the surface of each element.
4. If an image is drawn on the spits or applied in the decoupage technique, varnish the surface of the workpiece. Burning is usually not varnished.
5. Prepare a base (for example, a sheet of plywood) or wireframe, although a small design can be done without them.
6. Connect the spills in turn with each other, for example, using hot melt adhesive.
7. Cover the finished structure with varnish if you did not carry out this step with each element separately.

By this principle, it is possible to assemble absolutely any design, combining spills of different sizes.
