Handmade walnuts with a surprise. Souvenir with a surprise: nuts with predictions and wishes. "Peanut" variant in traditional Chinese style
On the eve of the holidays, you really want to please your relatives, friends and just acquaintances with original gifts! Of course, presenting practical things is right, but how to guess what exactly a particular person needs ?! And if you want to please a work colleague or neighbor? Do not run away, in fact, something to buy!
There is an opinion that "homemade" cannot look attractive. You can still see the "clumsy work"! But it depends on what you take! Of course, you can take a swing, for example, at the now fashionable coinage, but what will come of it? You have to really appreciate your own strength!
And, let's try to make golden nuts with predictions inside? It is not difficult, but very beautiful and stylish. This gift is sure to please! You can give one nut, you can give three, or you can give a whole vase! Can you imagine what a sensation such a dish of golden nuts will make, for example, at a New Year's corporate holiday?! And what fun will begin when everyone reads comic wishes!
Making these nuts is very easy. And it does not require any colossal material costs. All you need is a kilo of walnuts in the shell, gold acrylic paint, a regular paint brush, supermoment glue, and one tail of golden Christmas tree tinsel. Well, and, of course, wishes-predictions printed on a printer and cut into neat strips.
So, a master class or, as it is now fashionable to write, a step-by-step instruction (the description of the step corresponds to a unique photo, in order):
1. First, we need the actual walnuts and a regular beer bottle opener (photo No. 1).
2. With the help of such an opener, carefully open each nut, trying to make it “open” in the middle. However, how it opens up is not particularly important. The resulting halves, anyway, will then need to be glued together (photo No. 2).
3. We clean the shells from the nut "contents" and husks. Nuts can then be used in cooking or eaten, well, just throw out the husk (photo No. 3).
4. We paint the resulting peeled shells with gold-colored acrylic paint. It is better to take paint with a metallic effect (photo No. 4).
5. Let the painted shells dry for about 15 minutes, and at this time we ourselves print out pre-prepared wishes or predictions. You can take the text from the Internet - numerous horoscopes will help you! Or you can show your imagination and come up with a few spiritual lines on your own, especially when it comes to loved ones (photo No. 5).
6. Cut the printed predictions into thin neat strips. One prediction - one strip (photo No. 6).
7. We fold the strips with the text so that we get a piece of paper that will fit into one of the nutshells (photo No. 7).
8. We put the wish in the shell (photo No. 8).
9. We take the other half of the future "nut of fate" and carefully spread its edges with super-glue (photo No. 9).
Hello! I saw here in contact the idea of a gift for the new year. I downloaded a file with 365 predictions, printed the truth on plain paper, cut it into strips, twisted it into rolls and tied it with colorful ribbons. I decorated the lid and jar with ribbon, tinsel, beads, sequins. It was not possible to print the label from the original, because she herself made it close to the original and here is the result.
I apologize for the quality of the photos, I didn’t want the camera to work
And this is a top view of the lid and the jar box
Here is a list of predictions, I slightly corrected it by replacing some predictions:

Split nuts in half. It is better to do this with a knife, carefully so that the shells do not crack.
Paint the shells with spray paint. when it dries, put a wish and candy into the nut. Glue the walnut halves together. Use transparent glue Moment. Or you can do without glue and just tie the halves with a thin ribbon. It is better that it be a stretching thin elastic band from a haberdashery store), then the halves of the nut will not fall apart.
If you number the nuts, you get an advent calender to wait for the new year.
Ready-made nuts can be hung on a Christmas tree or arranged as a separate composition, or folded into a beautiful dish and made the centerpiece of the New Year's table.
You can write whatever you want on the notes. You can make special nuts for family members to know exactly who gets what and write wishes accordingly. For example,
"Beloved Husband"
I wish my husband a New Year
Agility and wisdom of the snake,
So as not to be afraid of the wind, cold,
To become stronger, bolder you!
Good luck, achieve goals,
And have your own opinion
And fall in love with me every day
And wish happiness for the family!
Already and instructions for the opening process wish nuts registered.
7 STEPS TO FULFILLMENT OF WISH:1. Choose a nut. You should not choose a nut for a long time, you need to trust your intuition - the hand itself will take the one intended for you at the moment. It is better to look the other way and concentrate on the question: How can I be in my situation ... and identify your problem.
If the hand took two or three - I advise you to take them too - nothing happens by chance. This means that Fate is pushing you to take more decisive action and wants to bring you more information so that your problems are resolved faster. If you received two identical predictions, this indicates that it is this aspect that needs to be strengthened in your life and that you especially need to work on this - to fill it with your desire and energy.
2. Hold a nut in your hand to infuse it with your energy.
It is NOT necessary to open the nut on the same day. Sometimes there is a desire - to hold it, to vilify it with you for several days, until an acute desire appears to look into it. Perhaps at that moment, you will especially need information and help.
3. Split or open it when you feel the need for it. Nobody and nothing should distract you. At the same time, concentrate on the desire to get help and a hint. Eliminate negative thoughts. Expect goodness and joy.
4. Inside is a prediction. Read it carefully and think about why fate is telling you about the relevance of this event right now. As a rule, the contents of the nut coincide with the situation that the person is trying to solve.
But, if you get a prediction that, from the point of view of logic, does not quite coincide in content with the task that you have designated, do not rush to draw hasty conclusions. The true intentions of our Destiny are hidden for us, but she knows what is a priority for us and how to lead us to the fulfillment of our true desires.
The road doesn't always go straight. Perhaps the solution to your problem is now impossible and you need to turn your attention to another aspect of life. And through its implementation, your current problem will be solved.
But it also happens like this: a person put his hand into a vessel with nuts, but pulled out not the one that fell into his hand first ... But he threw it away. It was better to take both ... They were somehow connected. And together they would lead to the goal. But that information. what is already there is very useful and it must also be worked out conscientiously. And after a while, just take another talisman-prediction. They will both start working for your benefit.
5. Write your name on the back.
By writing your name on the back, you energetically attach the upcoming joyful event to yourself. Now you have a personal talisman - it will protect you and attract joyful events into your life.
6. Carry it with you and reread it at every opportunity and visualize your joy in performing.
It is better to do this 2-3 times a day (until it is completed). Paying your attention to the talisman, you feed it with energy, enhance its power. He, in turn, radiates energy that permeates your consciousness and subconscious and prepares you for the fulfillment of your plans. Draws invisible helpers to you.
7. Do not transfer to the wrong hands and keep the contents secret from strangers so as not to dissipate its energy.
This is a very important condition. You do not allow everyone to bite off your sandwich in a row - you understand that this is harmful and ugly. More dangerous is the introduction of other people's thoughts, words, emotions, energies into the energy field of your talisman. This can lead to its weakening so much that all the good that was intended for you will lose its power before reaching you.
After the fulfillment of the desire, be sure to thank the Universe and place the talisman for storage in a beautiful box. Gratitude is a very powerful thing! People who do not know how to give thanks, who do not know how to experience joy from what they have received, are sometimes forever deprived of the help of the good forces of the Universe.

Well, and, of course, wishes-predictions printed on a printer and cut into neat strips.
So, a master class or, as it is now fashionable to write, a step-by-step instruction (the description of the step corresponds to a unique photo, in order):

1. First, we need the actual walnuts and a regular beer bottle opener (photo No. 1).
2. With the help of such an opener, carefully open each nut, trying to make it “open” in the middle. However, how it opens up is not particularly important. The resulting halves, anyway, will then need to be glued together (photo No. 2).
3. We clean the shells from the nut "contents" and husks. Nuts can then be used in cooking or eaten, well, just throw out the husk (photo No. 3).
4. We paint the resulting peeled shells with gold-colored acrylic paint. It is better to take paint with a metallic effect (photo No. 4).
5. Let the painted shells dry for about 15 minutes, and at this time we ourselves print out pre-prepared wishes or predictions. You can take the text from the Internet - numerous horoscopes will help you! Or you can show your imagination and come up with a few spiritual lines on your own, especially when it comes to loved ones (photo No. 5).

6. Cut the printed predictions into thin neat strips. One prediction - one strip (photo No. 6).
7. We fold the strips with the text so that we get a piece of paper that will fit into one of the nutshells (photo No. 7).
8. We put the wish in the shell (photo No. 8).
9. We take the other half of the future "nut of fate" and carefully spread its edges with super-glue (photo No. 9).
10. We connect the shells into a nut and press the halves tightly against each other. The walnut will instantly seize (photo No. 10).
11. Put the resulting nut aside and take care of its shiny tail. Let's cut off a small piece from the tinsel - no more than one and a half to two centimeters (photo No. 11).
12. The "anatomical" features of each walnut are such that on its "butt" - after removing the husk - there is a small hole in the shell. This hole is enough to tightly insert a shiny tinsel tail (photo No. 12).
13. Look - well, wasn't it a miracle? Great gifts! And it took no more than 2 hours to make them!
