Choosing a gift for a man is always a difficult task. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s a brother, a father, just an acquaintance or a dearly loved person. I would like to give something original so that your gift will be remembered for a long time, and will not remain lying among other gels, shaving foams, lotions and colognes with a real masculine scent. We suggest you give your birthday boy a cake. But, of course, this will be an unusual cake, it does not need to be baked and any man who loves beer will surely like it. For such a cake, you need to purchase beer in cans, which is what we will use to make our present. So, how to make a gift from beer in cans with your own hands?

Making a beer cake

There are many ways to make beer can gifts. It all depends on your imagination, because putting together such a present is not difficult, you just need to lay out the containers with the drink and decorate it in such a way that the whole structure resembles the favorite delicacy of all women.

Let's look at a simple way to make a two-tier cake using canned beer. For it you will need 25 cans and one bottle of the hero of the day’s favorite drink:

• First you need to cut out two circles from thick cardboard. One circle should be large - it should fit 19 containers. On the second - 6 cans and one bottle.
• These circles can be wrapped in foil and secured with double-sided tape.
• Now we begin to assemble the lower tier. To begin, place one container in the center of the circle and surround it with six others. Place 12 more cans around them. The lower tier is ready.

Important! Those cans that are on the outside should be facing out.

• Now these cans need to be fastened. This can be done using tape, glue, a stapler or “liquid nails”. This doesn’t matter, since the entire craft will be decorated.
• You can use corrugated or wrapping paper to decorate the tier. Cut a strip slightly wider than the height of the cans and wrap it around your tier. The top can be decorated with satin ribbons and bows.
• Now let's move on to the second layer of our cake. It needs to be assembled in the same way. We put the bottle around 6 cans, secure and decorate.
• Both “cakes” can be fastened using “liquid nails”.
• Place your culinary and beer product on a beautiful tray or dish.

Such a DIY gift of beer cans will always impress strong men. In addition, this recipe allows for many variations for imagination. After all, you can always come up with and add something of your own:

1. You can decorate your birthday cake with candles, candies, chocolate bars, lottery tickets for good luck.
2. You can change the number of tiers and decor at your discretion.
3. If you do not have the opportunity or desire to buy such a large amount of intoxicating drink, then you can save money by making the base cylinders from strong cardboard.

Important! The main rules of such a gift:

• The design should look like a cake.
• It should not fall apart in the hands of the birthday boy, so fasten it well.
• Your cake should be beautiful and festive.

Bouquet of fish for cake

This DIY beer can gift requires a snack. Therefore, we suggest giving a bouquet of dried fish along with it, as it is the best snack to accompany beer. Although, if you wish, you can replace it with nuts, chips, crackers.

So, let's make a bouquet of fish:

• Take a few fish and put them together in a bunch.
• Wrap them with tape so that they are fastened with tails.

Important! It’s okay if all the fish are different lengths, no one will notice it under the paper anyway.

• Now our bouquet of fish needs to be wrapped in newspaper, preferably several layers.
• Do this in such a way that the fish heads are slightly peeking out of the newspaper.
• Tie the newspaper at the base.
• Tie a bow or satin ribbon there.

Important! It is best if you attach each fish individually to a wooden sushi stick. This will make it easier to separate them from the bouquet later.

Your gift of beer in cans with your own hands and a bouquet of fish are ready, you can safely go and congratulate your birthday boy!

Many women are anxious about buying gifts for men on Defender of the Fatherland Day. It should be not only useful, but also pleasant for your loved one. Today you can buy any present, but the real surprise will be a gift that you make with your own hands.

First of all, pay attention to the man’s preferences. If he likes to play a game with tanks or served in tank forces, then give a gift in the form of equipment. In addition to it, take a few cans of beer. You can combine these two components for a gift in the form of a beer tank. How to make a gift, read this article with a detailed master class.

For the alcohol tank you will need:

• beer in cans - 4 pieces;
• a pack of nuts or pistachios;
• corrugated paper in two colors (dark and light green);
• double-sided tape, scissors;
• thick cardboard or box;
• tube from used foil;
• superglue or glue gun.

Instead of cans of beer, you can use any drink. Replace crackers and pistachios with lollipops or dragees. Choose a color scheme from the man’s preferences or the general design of the room for the party.

Manufacturing process:

Step 1. Cut a rectangle from cardboard. Its size is determined by the width of the beer can and the length of 4 bottles.

Step 2. Glue double-sided tape along the long side of the rectangle-shaped piece.

Step 3. Place cans of beer on it. This is necessary in order to secure the structure. Or for stability, you can cover the jars with tape and then attach them to cardboard.

Step 4. Place the same sheet of cardboard on top of the jars.

Step 5. Wrap the entire structure in light green corrugated paper, stretch lightly and glue the ends together. Thus, you should have a caterpillar for the future tank.

Step 6. Cut strips 3 centimeters wide from dark green paper. You can cut out a figured pattern along the edges, but this is at your discretion.

Step 7 Wrap these tapes around the edges of the tracks and secure them with glue.

Step 8 Now proceed to forming the tank turret. Make a rectangle out of a regular box and attach a barrel (foil tube) to it. Decorate all this with paper of two colors.

Step 9 Glue the tower to the tracks. Decorate it with a red star, and instead of a gas tank, place a pack of crackers on double-sided tape. Such an unusual tank can please a man on any occasion!

For gifts, additionally pack beer cans in transparent paper.

Thanks to this detailed master class, you will be able to make your own original gift for February 23rd. Use it as a separate gift or as an additional gift.

Very soon the men's holiday is February 23. And someone’s birthday is just around the corner - the husband of a friend or colleague. In any case, each of us will be faced with a choice - what gift should we give a man? After all, you always want to not only please, but also truly surprise. Therefore, such banal gifts as eau de toilette, purses, watches, gloves and umbrellas fade into the background. I would like to invite you to prepare an original handmade gift: a “cake” made from beer and a “bouquet” from dried fish.

We will “bake” a “Cake” from beer cans and build a “Bouquet” from dried fish - who in your circle will not admire and appreciate it?! Colleague, friend, dad, loved one - they will all be happy to receive such a holiday set. Its production does not require any special skills and will not take much time. Follow the detailed instructions and you will certainly get a wonderful gift!

To make the “Cake”, you will need:

• beer in cans – 15 pcs.;
• double-sided tape (wide and narrow);
• satin ribbon (wide) – 6 m;
• cardboard – 2 sheets;
• colored foil (in which gifts are usually wrapped);
• glue;
• tray.

To make a “Bouquet” you will need:

• dried fish - quantity and size as desired;
• newspaper – 2 pcs.;
• satin ribbon – 1 m;
• wooden skewers for shish kebab;
• tape is narrow.

How to make a “cake” from beer:

Choose beer for making “Cake” in a bright can. A satin ribbon – also of a bright color, matching the color of the jar, so that the gift looks impressive and harmonious. For blue cans, I would advise choosing yellow, red or orange ribbons, for red – white or gold, for yellow – orange, for green – yellow.

We will make the “cake” round and it will consist of two tiers; in my opinion, this is the best option. Although it can be square or rectangular, and consist of one, three, or even four layers, the choice is yours, just remember to adjust the number of beer cans.

Each tier should be installed on a cardboard stand. To do this, we first place the jars on cardboard, forming a circle (or square) of the required size, and outline the approximate boundaries with a pencil.

In this case, the banks should be installed tightly to each other. In my case, the bottom tier consists of 3 cans in the inner circle and 8 cans in the outer circle.

We remove the cans from the cardboard and, using a compass, draw a circle of the required radius in order to secure all the cans on it in the future.

We cut a circle out of cardboard, then apply it to colored foil and cut out a circle slightly larger than the cardboard (2-3 cm larger).

We glue the cardboard to the foil from the wrong side, make cuts on the foil from the edge to the cardboard and then glue it on the inside one by one. The stand for the first tier is ready.

We glue a square of wide double-sided tape to the bottom of the beer cans, tear off the protective paper layer and glue it to the stand, pressing lightly on it.

We start with 3 central cans. We fasten them with wide double-sided tape, wrapping them around. Tear off the paper layer.

Now it's the outer circle's turn. We proceed in the same way, glue 8 cans, pressing them to the stand and to the central banks. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the design on the jar is facing us. Having completed this operation, we wrap them with narrow tape, and attach a satin ribbon to it.

We perform similar operations for the manufacture and fastening of the upper tier. We make a stand (it will be narrower in diameter, since only the 4 remaining cans of beer need to be installed on it), attach it with double-sided tape to the cans of the lower tier, glue tape to the bottom of the cans and secure them to the stand, wrap it with narrow tape and secure tape.

At the final stage, we make 2 vertical overlaps of ribbon on the “cake” and tie a beautiful bow on top. For ease of transportation, place the “cake” on a tray.

How to make a “bouquet” of dried fish:

To make a “bouquet”, take dried fish, a wooden skewer (or sushi stick) and narrow tape. Using tape, we attach the fish tail to the skewer, simply wrapping it several times - it holds securely.

Having done this manipulation with each fish, we collect them all together into a “bouquet” (let some be a little higher, others a little lower).

It’s difficult to surprise someone with beer on their birthday, but if you present it festively, then hardly any man will refuse such a gift. Having decorated the gift as a cake made from beer cans, you can present it instead of the main holiday paraphernalia. The appearance, size and design of the future beer masterpiece depends on the preferences and imagination of the donor.

How to make a cake from beer cans with your own hands step by step photo

The main thing is to prepare all the necessary materials in advance, and also choose one of the options for yourself and create it for men with full cans of beer and fish, or for women with chocolates. Those who decided to make a cake from beer cans with their own hands have nothing to be afraid of. Various options for its execution are presented below, with descriptions and photos.

Required materials

A cake made from beer cans for men cannot do without this drink itself, so you need to purchase 26 tin cans of beer, it is not necessary to take them all from one manufacturer, if you could not get them in the required quantity, then you can purchase 6 cans of the same type for the first tier and 19 cans for the second one. You can create a holiday masterpiece with your own hands only using the following tools and materials:

• corrugated paper (color chosen to taste);
• 1 bottle of beer drink (in glass packaging);
• foil;
• satin ribbon;
• wires;
• glue;
• double-sided tape;
• cardboard;
• scissors

To complete the gift design, you will need to decorate it with a greeting card; you can also make it yourself, or buy it ready-made, and also use bows made of paper or thick fabric.

Step by step instructions

The basis will be a special confectionery cardboard, but if you couldn’t buy it, then its usual counterpart will be quite suitable, only it should be dense, and not the school version.

Step-by-step cake creation:

1. Cut out circles of the desired diameter, it will depend on how many tiers there will be in the cake. Each of the cut circles must be covered with foil.
2. The first tier consists of 6 cans of beer, which need to be connected together and wrapped with tape. Behind them, place another 12 cans in a circle and secure them in the same way.
3. It is better to immediately start decorating the lower tier, for which you cut out a wide strip of corrugated paper and wrap it around all the cans around the circumference, connect its ends and seal it. You can tie a bright satin or paper ribbon on top for effect.
4. Place a second cardboard of smaller diameter on top of the resulting tier. Place a glass bottle of beer in its center and place the remaining 6 cans of a similar drink around it. Decorate this tier in the same way as the previous one, using corrugated paper, tape and tape.

Instead of a glass bottle of beer, it is allowed to use another alcoholic drink; it is advisable to pamper whiskey lovers with it. Surrounded by beer, such a souvenir will look most significant.

An alternative to alcohol can be chocolate bars, in which case the base of the cake will be from empty cans secured together with tape, and all kinds of chocolate bars and long candies will be used as decoration for each tier.

It is proposed to dilute them with homemade paper bows; they are attached to the jars using double-sided tape. The resulting birthday cake can be made as an alternative for teenagers who are already fed up with regular cakes. In addition, such a gift, unlike a regular confectionery product, does not have to be eaten all at once; there will be enough sweets for several days.

Photo of how to make a cake from beer cans

Instead of tape, you can use cling film to secure the cans, but you need to take into account that with a fragile base, the cake will be impossible to move, much less move it.

The final result is shown in the photo below, it can be complemented with paper bows and cards.

You can also create a birthday cake from beer cans with your own hands using the option in the photo. It is simpler; to create it you need to follow these steps:

• Glue together a cylinder from cardboard, the diameter of which is selected depending on the amount of canned beer purchased.
• The cylinder obtained or found in home bins (perhaps there is such packaging from clothes at home) needs to be decorated with corrugated paper, its fringe should be located along the edge of the upper part.
• A ribbon that is tied around the diameter and made into a bow is suitable as a decoration for the created packaging.
• This cake can be supplemented with nuts: salted peanuts or pistachios; they need to be poured into plastic bags and tied well.
• Cut strips with large teeth from colored paper and connect them; in appearance they will look like sunflower flowers. You need to attach plastic bags with nuts to them; framed in this way, they look like sunflower seeds.

Jars are placed in the cylinder, and a paper bow can be attached to them as decoration. And next to the resulting beer cake, put the sunflowers you made; by the way, they can be replaced by small bouquets of fish.

The holiday gift option for men proposed below is somewhat different from the above. The base here is a coil made of cardboard, which is decorated with foil and glue. Seven cans of beer are installed between two interconnected bases. They are secured to each other. The second tier is a complement to the drink; there is a snack on it. It is in cups decorated according to the holiday; they need to be attached to the top base in a circle; if its diameter is approximately the same as in the video example, then five cups will be enough. In the center of the circle they created, you can place an additional bottle of aperitif.

If you want to congratulate your loved one on any occasion in an original way, then we suggest using ideas for creating cakes from beer cans. They are suitable not only for home gatherings, but also for corporate parties.

The love of many males for the foamy drink is not new. If you decide to make a gift out of beer on February 23, you are definitely at the right place! We will share with you the most unusual ideas for presenting such a gift.

A two-tier cake consisting entirely of your favorite drink will be appreciated by any defender of the Fatherland.

To prepare such a gift, stock up on:

• 25 (not a lot, not a little) cans of beer - make sure that they are single-caliber so that the “cake” turns out nice and even;
• one glass bottle of drink;
• thick cardboard, plywood;
• corrugated paper;
• wire;
• ribbons;
• foil;
• double-sided tape;
• scissors;
• greeting cards.

So, instructions:

1. We will make a two-tier cake: 16 cans for the bottom row, 9 for the top. Place the bottom tier on the cardboard in a friendly pile like this:

Draw a circle around the outer jars of the tray and cut it out.

Advice! Beer cans are quite heavy; make sure the cardboard or plywood base is strong enough to support them.

1. Using double-sided tape, cover the tray with a nice foil cover.
2. Place it in the center of the jar again, as shown in the previous photo. To prevent them from moving around, take note of a little trick: stack seven cans in the center and wrap them with tape. Then place the remaining nine around their circumference and also surround them with adhesive tape.
3. The fact that you use double-sided tape will play into your hands when decorating: cover the entire length of the jar (surprise) with corrugated paper - it will adhere tightly to the belt of adhesive tape holding back the outer row. Tie the tier with a satin ribbon and tie it with a beautiful lush bow.
4. Let's take on the second tier. On the bottom of both cans and bottles we make “heels” from double-sided tape so that they do not fall off the first row.

1. Place a glass container in the middle, surround it with tin and again surround it with double-sided tape. As you can see, here he is simply a lifesaver. Also attach clothes made of corrugated paper to the tape and tie a ribbon. You can make the tiers tone on tone, or they can be varied - to suit your taste and color.
2. Make spiral springs from wire. Attach one end to the key “openers” on the jars, the other to the postcards. One card can be placed with a corner behind the ribbon belt.

Tip: as a gift for such a cake, a bouquet of dried fish would be perfect (options - video in this article).

To create a real men's bouquet with your own hands you will need:

• large canned beer, or even better - a barrel;
• dried, dried fish(as a rule, roach goes well with beer);
• small (this is an important point - otherwise the bouquet will turn out unaesthetic) packages with beer snacks: crackers, chips, snacks, nuts, smoked meat, squid;
• hot glue gun;
• ribbons;
• mesh and transparent packaging for decoration(you will find various variations in florist salons);
• wooden sticks(for ice cream, or for sushi, as an option).

Advice! If you don’t have a glue gun in your house, then the same good old double-sided tape will come to the rescue.

Is everything in place? Let's start creating:

1. Using a glue gun, carefully and symmetrically attach the snack bags to the top of the beer keg. Be careful not to block the opening of the container.
2. Wrap each fish, head up, in clear packaging. Form a bun on top and tie with a ribbon.
3. Thread each fish onto a wooden stick. If this is difficult to do, then tie it at the tail to a wooden rod with ribbon.
4. The next step is to wrap the fish in a net and tie it with a ribbon at the base. Then glue the sticks with the “catch” to the barrel with a gun or tape.
5. Wrap pistachios in plastic wrappings and tie them like candy. Don’t forget to insert a wooden stick on one side of the bag and tie it. Dilute the composition of fish and bags with these unique packages.
6. The composition can be additionally decorated with decor: shaggy artificial flowers, decorative branches, small souvenir figures.

Detailed instructions:

Beer tank

To make such a gift for the hero of the occasion, an important feature of which is the affordable price, you will need:

• four tin cans of the respected drink;
• men's favorite snacks;
• corrugated paper - the color you want your homemade tank to be;
• colored red paper - for the star;
• thick cardboard;
• small cardboard box;
• a tube from a roll of foil or cling film;
• double-sided tape;
• hot glue gun (can be replaced with regular PVA);
• scissors.

Let's get started:

1. Thick cardboard is the basis for creation. We glue two strips of double-sided adhesive tape on it. Place beer cans lying on their sides in a row on top.
2. Glue another sheet of thick cardboard on top in the same way.
3. We cover the composition with corrugated paper, but not on those sides where the “caterpillars” from the lids and bottoms of the cans are visible.

1. We make the tower from a small box (by the way, you can put a small surprise in it). Having made a round hole in it, we insert a cardboard tube there - the barrel. Carefully wrap everything in corrugated paper, securing with small drops of glue. Decorate the tower with a red star.

1. Now use glue, tape or a gun to attach the tower to the beer base.
2. If you want your tank to become a carrier of special cargo - a bag of snacks, secure it next to the tower on the base.

Visual video instructions will help you:

Another advantage of such a gift is that it is not made from perishable ingredients - the composition can please the eye for several days before it is used for its intended purpose.
