Beautiful gift wrapping

We promised yesterday to post a gift wrapping guide in pictures. Here you go.



Like these packages? Here we share a guide on how to make 2 of them: very easy and fun on lazy Sundays before Christmas:)

A different paper bag for gifts of odd shapes.


You will need a white and brown paper bags or any other colours of your choice.


1. Using decorative craft scissors or skilled fingers cut a bit off the top of the white bag and a bit more off the brown bag.


 2. Slip the white bag inside the brown one. Insert the gift into it.


3. Close the tops of the bags together, and fold down. With a mini hole punch, make 2 closely spaced holes at the center.


4. Starting at the back of the bag, thread the ends of a satin ribbon through the holes. Tie a bow at the front of the bag.




A 2- colour gift box


You will need any type of old box and a coloured paper of your choice.


1. Place the lid of the box, top down, on a sheet of overturned sheet of paper. Put an glue dot at the midpoint along each side of the paper.

 2. Make sure the lid is centered, and carefully hold it in place with your hand as you work.


3. Fold 2 opposite sides of the paper inward over the rim of the lid -- make sure they're flat against the sides -- and press the glue dots to the inside walls of the lid.


4. On each of the remaining sides, fold corners in.


5. Fold remaining tabs over edges of lid; press glue dots to inside.


6. Cover the box with the lid and tie a ribbon of your choice to decorate it!:)


Enjoy!
