Ever wonder how you can turn boring gift boxes into wrapped wonders complete with handmade bows? You’ll be proud to present these packages this holiday season or any other celebratory occasion!
Supplies Needed
- Floral ribbon (the ribbon shown here is Flora-Satin by Berwick)
- Gift wrap
- Gift-wrap or transparent tape
- Scissors or gift-wrap cutter
- And of course, your gift!
Wrapping Paper Basics
Measure out your wrapping paper – it should be enough to come up at least two-thirds on either side of your gift, and enough to cover your gift with some extra to fold over for a clean edge.
Position your gift on the paper so that you can use the least amount of paper possible while still covering your gift.
