March 8 is already very close and men have probably already racked their brains, thinking about what to give to their beloved, mother or sister. Of course, there are a number of gifts that men usually give on International Women's Day. But if you think that flowers, jewelry or a toy are too banal and boring and you want to show your creative side and do something with your own hands, then we have prepared for you a collection of gifts for March 8 that you can easily bring to life.
White chocolate truffles
An exquisite dessert option for wonderful sweet lovers. Don't forget to pack the truffles in a beautiful box.
What do you need
220 g white chocolate;
70 g butter;
3 tablespoons whipping cream;
a pinch of salt;
vanillin - on the tip of a knife;
60 g powdered sugar.
How to do
Grind 170 g of chocolate, add butter, cream, salt and vanillin. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring the mixture every 30 seconds. Remove the mixture from the microwave and stir again until smooth. If necessary, warm it up a little more.
Cover the container with foil and refrigerate for a couple of hours until the chocolate mixture hardens.
Then use a teaspoon to form the mixture into small balls. Roll them in powder and use your hands to give them an even shape. Place truffles on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for at least 2 more hours.
Chop the remaining chocolate, melt it in the microwave and stir until smooth. Using a fork or skewer, dip the cooled truffles into the chocolate coating. While the glaze is still wet, you can sprinkle the truffles with coconut, chopped nuts or confectionery sprinkles.
Place the candies on parchment paper and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.
Tea bags with photos
Tea is a rather banal gift, but tea in homemade bags with your favorite photographs will be remembered for a long time.
What do you need
sewing machine;
delicious small leaf tea;
photo paper or thin cardboard;
thick white threads or thin rope;
white paper coffee filters;
How to do
Cut two small identical rectangles from coffee filters. Using a sewing machine, sew them together on three sides, leaving a few millimeters from the edges.
Fill the resulting tea bags with tea, fold the corners and machine sew the top. If you decide to make round bags, then leave a small hole in them for tea, and then simply sew it up without bending anything. Make a few more bags in the same way.
Select your favorite photos, reduce or crop them in a graphics editor so that they are the same size. Print on photo paper or cardboard, cut out and make holes in them with a needle. Cut several threads 10–15 cm long and thread them through the holes in the photo.
If your tea bags are rectangular, then attach the threads with a stapler by bending the top edge of the bag. And if they are round, then sew them to them. All that remains is to choose a beautiful package for your gift.
Paper tulips
Make a bouquet of paper flowers, glue it to a card or place it in a small flower pot.
What do you need
1 sheet of double-sided pink, red or yellow paper measuring 15 × 15 cm;
1 sheet of double-sided green paper measuring 15 × 15 cm.
How to do
Detailed instructions for making paper tulips:
A vase for flowers
You can put artificial or paper flowers in it, or insert a bottle of water for fresh flowers.
What do you need
pencil;
several sheets of A4 double-sided green paper;
a skein of twine;
glue gun;
some thick white cardboard.
4 spools of tape;
several sheets of double-sided paper in different colors;
How to do
Lubricate the edges of the reels with glue and glue them tightly to each other. Cut sheets of paper into squares measuring 6 × 6 cm. Flowers will be made from them; 10–13 such squares will be enough for a vase. Fold them in half diagonally, then again, draw a petal on the fold and cut it out. Use scissors to slightly curl the edges of the petals. Press a pencil into the middle of the flower and glue a bead there.
Then make leaves from green paper. To avoid mistakes, watch the video. It shows in detail how to do this.
Wrap the twine around the bobbin blank, gluing the ends with a glue gun. Trace the bottom of the blank on white cardboard, cut it out and glue the circle to the bottom. Then glue the flowers and leaves to the vase.
Bouquet of pompoms
A beautiful bouquet that will never fade.
What do you need
several thin branches;
white spray paint;
glue gun;
green felt;
white lace braid;
pink ribbon;
yarn in white, beige and pink shades;
How to do
Wrap three fingers with yarn of the same color 50–75 times. You can make pompoms of different sizes by wrapping two or four fingers. The more yarn you use, the more voluminous the flowers will be. After cutting the pompom thread from the skein of yarn, cut another thread 20 cm long.
Pull this thread between your fingers and tie a knot, securing the pompom as shown in the photo.
Carefully remove the pompom from your fingers and tie it again with a tight knot. Cut the resulting loops in half.
Fluff the pom pom and trim any loose threads to create a perfect ball. Make a few more pompoms in the same way.
Paint the branches with white paint and leave them to dry. Then glue the pompoms to them.
Cut out a double leaf from felt for each flower. Glue the leaves to the stems.
Cut strips of braid, ribbon and twine to the same length and tie a bow on the bouquet.

Trim the cardboard 1-2 cm on each side. Round corners or carve edges. Glue the cardboard to white paper. Cut out the stem and leaves of a flower from green paper or felt.
Cut a circle from the photo to fit the diameter of the bottom of the tartlet. Glue the photo to the tartlet and the tartlet to the stem.
You can make several flowers with your favorite photos. And on the reverse side, sign who this beauty is intended for.

When you unroll the piece, you will have a flower with eight petals. Color six of them as shown in the video and cut one blank. Lubricate the second one with glue and glue the adjacent petal to it.
Then glue the flowers to each other. The video shows in detail how to do this. Fold the purple cardstock in half and round the corners. Glue the flower in the middle of the card, close it and press it with a book until the glue dries.
Decorate the outside of the card with strips of colored cardboard, rhinestones or something else, and on the inside with beautiful white braid.
Fabric bracelet
A stylish gift for a lover of unusual jewelry.
What do you need
8 strips of knitted yarn of different widths, approximately 15 cm long;
wide clasp for bracelet.
How to do
Weave three strips into a braid. Place the remaining strips to the right and left of it and fasten the ends with a clip with a clasp. By the way, instead of knitting yarn, you can use strips of fabric from an old T-shirt.
Salt dough pendants
Such a gift will require a minimum of money and effort, but it looks very impressive.
What do you need
3–5 tablespoons of water;
stamps (instead, you can use boxes, frames and other carved objects);
silver paint;
black water-soluble paint;
some water;
brush;
paper towel;
holders for hanging;
black ribbons.
How to do
Mix flour and salt. Add water and knead the dough. It is better to pour in water not immediately, but gradually to achieve the required consistency. The dough should be plastic and not stick to your hands.
Roll it out into a layer 5–7 mm thick and cut out the pendants. You can make pendants in the form of hearts, squares, circles, droplets, flowers and much more. Leftover dough can be wrapped in cling film or placed in a container with a lid and left in the refrigerator for several days.
Using stamps, make a design on the pendants. Make a small hole at the top for the ribbon. Place the pieces on a baking sheet and bake at 100°C for 1–1.5 hours. The dough should be completely hardened.
Cool the pendants and paint them silver. You can use regular or spray paint. After the pendants have dried, dilute the black paint with water and paint the patterns on the decorations with it. Then wipe off the paint with a damp paper towel. This will give the pendants a rare look.
Insert the holders into the holes and the ribbons into them.

How to make paper flowers for mom and grandma in the senior group of kindergarten
In kindergartens, preparations are underway for Mother's Day - children learn poems and songs, prepare dances and skits. And, of course, they don’t forget about gifts for their mothers and grandmothers.
Let's prepare for work:
- Scissors
- Toothpick
- Green paper
- Yellow and white crepe paper
- Ruler
- Narrow tape
- Yellow threads
Let's make daisies. The process is not complicated and entertaining.
- Cut a sheet of green paper in half lengthwise, and then cut one piece in half again. We twist the stem onto the corner of a toothpick for the future chamomile. After twisting the stem, take out the toothpick and glue the thicker end of the stem with tape so that it does not fall apart
- Roll white paper into a roll, measure 10 cm and cut with scissors
You should get pieces made of white with sides 25 cm by 10 cm and yellow 4 cm by 20 cm
- Fold the yellow sheet in half and cut it, then fold it again and cut both edges in 5mm increments
- Fold the white paper in half and cut it. Now we put a yellow strip in the middle and fold it from one edge, then turn it over to the other side and fold it like an accordion. And so, step by step, we make an accordion out of paper
- We tie the middle with a thread and cut off the edges roundly.
- Attach the stem with tape
- We straighten the petals and get a fluffy beautiful chamomile. Make several pieces and arrange them in a bouquet. And if you also make a vase, then there will be several times more delight.

How to make felt flowers for your sister
Fresh flowers are good, but they don’t last long. But this felt bouquet will delight you for many years. Just blow away the dust.
Let's prepare:
- Green and pink felt
- Basket
- Template for flowers
- Floral wire
- Scissors
- Twine
- Pencils
- Pliers
- Kraft paper
- Plastic mat
Don't worry about looking at the amount of materials needed. Some can be replaced (if you don't have them), some can be simplified along the way. And in general, never be afraid to try something new. You never know what you can do till you try.
- Cut out templates from paper. You can easily draw them yourself in the size you need, and then cut them along the contour
- Using a large template, mark out the details on pink felt and cut them out.
- Cut a strip of lighter shade of felt measuring 1 by 5 cm and make cuts on it at a distance of 3-4 mm
- Apply glue to the middle and connect the two parts. A small detail will serve as a bud for a flower. Roll it into a bud and apply glue to secure it
- We trace the second part on green felt and cut it out. This is a sepal for a rose
- We cut the wire to the required size, string a sepal on it and secure it with glue, and strengthen the rosette on top
- Thus, we will prepare the required number of roses. If you are tired, you can end here. Just combine the flowers into a bouquet, tie it with a ribbon and the gift is ready.
- If you want to continue, then we’ll make a vase. You can buy a basket in stores. Cut a circle from a plastic mat the size of the bottom of a basket. You can also use thick cardboard or other suitable materials.
- We put moss inside, stick roses into it, and shorten the stem to the desired size. Instead of moss, you can cut out polystyrene foam or a thick piece of foam rubber
- Wrap it in craft paper and tie it to a bow with twine. Paper can be replaced with wrapping paper.
We create a beautiful bouquet of tulips from fabric for March 8th for a teacher
The flowers turn out to be very beautiful, almost real, and are wonderfully suitable for a women’s holiday.
Let's prepare:
- Cotton fabrics of different colors for patchwork
- Green cloth
- Cocktail straws
- Threads
- Lighter
- Needle
- Soft filler (holofiber, cotton wool, etc.)
- Scissors
- Paper and pencil
- Ruler
- Double sided tape
Manufacturing:
- We cut out three blanks from paper with dimensions of 3 * 21 cm, 7 * 12 cm and 7 * 14 cm
- We fold the 7*14 piece in half lengthwise and draw a leaf on it and cut it out. We will use this template to cut the leaves.
- We mark the details on the fabric according to the templates. For one tulip you will need one 3*21 piece for the stem, 7*12 for the flower and 2 pieces for the leaves.
- If you are going to create a bouquet, then prepare all the details at once, carry out the work in stages
- For the stem, seal one edge using a lighter flame to make the seam look neat
- Place double-sided tape on the opposite edge
- Wrap the tube in fabric. We pin the remaining edges with needles and use a needle to hem the seam so that it is not visible
- Let's take care of the leaves. We turn the bottom edge of the part and sew it, then we put the parts together right sides and sew along the edges, turn them inside out, and iron them. It is better to perform this operation on a sewing machine, but if you don’t have one, then manually
- Fold the edge of the fabric for the flower half a centimeter to the wrong side and smooth it with an iron
- We fold the fabric with the right side inward and sew the edge and turn it inside out. The result is a cylinder
- We go along the edge with a needle and collect the fabric, insert the stem inside and tighten the thread. We try to match the seams on the stem and bud and tie the stem and flower together with a thread
- Fill the bud with filler and tie it crosswise with thread. First from one edge to the other, then opposite. Press the corners with your fingers to give shape.
- We apply the leaf to the stem so as to close the seam and hem it with invisible stitches
- We prepare the rest of the flowers in the same way and decorate the bouquet with a ribbon or place it in a vase.
We make a box decorated with famiaran flowers for a gift to a friend
Does your friend like candy? Well, who doesn’t like it, you tell me. What if you present it not in a banal box, but in a box you made with your own hands and decorated with beautiful flowers made of fomiaran? I hope she likes it.
You will need:
- Fomiyaran
- Skewer
- Pastel
We produce:
- On the sheet we measure intervals of 2.5 cm on all sides. Using a wooden skewer, draw all the squares along a ruler.
- Take a pastel of a contrasting color and sketch half of the square, then cut it out
- We round two corners of squares - we get petals
- Curl the petals with a curling iron
- We leave two petals for the bud. We coat it with glue and twist the first petal into the bud, then put it into the other petal and twist it again. Don't forget to lubricate before twisting
- Now we glue the petals in a circle one by one and form a rose. We make several pieces
- For the box we take thick cardboard and colored cardboard. We cut out the bottom, glue the cardboard in a circle - we get the bottom part of the box. For the lid, we trace the top part, cut it out and also paste it in a circle - we get a lid for the box
- Cover the bottom and top of the lid with green cardboard
- We glue a polystyrene foam hemisphere onto the lid, paint it with paint to match the box and stick on the roses. Now we fill it with delicious candies, cover it with a lid, tie it with a ribbon and the gift is ready.
