DIY gift for a man on February 23
A bouquet of socks
As a rule, socks are rarely superfluous for men, and they can always come in handy, if not now, then in the future. You can approach this gift creatively and make an original bouquet of socks.
You'll need:
· Socks
· Pins
· Wooden skewers
· Vase
· Ribbon
Fold one end of the sock, start winding it, pressing one end tightly, and leaving the other one free.
When you reach the bend of the sock, fold it as shown in the picture and continue twisting.
Secure the “bud” with a pin. Insert the skewer into the “flower” and place it in the vase, tied with a ribbon.
A gift for male colleagues on February 23
Costume shaped box with chocolates
This is a very simple gift that can be made from materials that are most likely to be in your home.
You'll need:
· Wrapping or decorative paper
· Large matchbox or other box
· Line
· Scissors
· Glue or double sided tape
· Pencil
· Button
Measure the box. You need to know the length (L), width (W) and depth (D) of the box.
Let's start cutting the costume.
Pants: cut a rectangle whose length is = 2* (W+D) +2.5 cm for overlap.
Shirt: The shirt size is the size of the front side of the box (W and D)
Jacket: jacket size 2* (W+D) + 6mm for overlapping and folding
The tie can be cut at your discretion.
Wrap the “pants” part around the box, and glue it on the back.
Make the shirt collar by making two small incisions at an angle at the top of the shirt part, and fold them at an angle too. You may need to cut the ends to make them all meet at one point. Glue the tie under the collar and the collar to the shirt.
Write a greeting on the “shirt” and use it as a postcard.
Wrap the jacket part around the box so that they connect in front in the center with a slight overlap.
Mark and cut out the bends of the jacket.
Glue the jacket to the back of the box and the front cuffs to the pants. Don't stick them to your shirt so you can use the shirt as a card.
Glue the button in front.
You can put sweets, a keychain or other surprises and gifts inside the box.

Watch bracelet
A lot of men love to wear watches. If you still have a watch without a bracelet or want to give a watch with a handmade bracelet, here is a simple guide on how to do it in a few minutes.
Leather keychain
If you can't choose a gift for dad, son or friend, make such an original leather keychain with your own hands.
You'll need:
· A piece of leather about 0.7 -1.5 mm thick
· Thick needle and thread
· Scissors
· Pliers
· Key ring
Cut the shape of the mustache out of paper and, using this pattern, cut out two parts of the leather mustache, as well as a 2×6 cm rectangle.
Pass a strip of leather through the ring and fold it. Connect the ends. Place the mustache part between the strip and stitch at a distance of 2-3 mm from the edge.
Correct the parts with scissors, if necessary.

An original gift for a man with his own hands
Candy poster

Beer cake
To make such a beer cake, you will need a pack of 30 cans of beer and three cardboard circles with a diameter of 30, 25 and 20 cm. Simply place the beer jars on cake-shaped cardboard circles and tie them with a ribbon.
