How many times have you been to a birthday party, especially for children, and found identical offerings from the gift wrap stand. Let's get crafty and make our own, individual creations, which stand out from the crowd. Whether you purchase from the gift wrap stand or create an original of your own there are lots of inspiring ways to package your presents.
Think of the packaging in relation to, and part of, the gift; those delicious handmade biscuits or chocolates can be placed in a retro tin which can then be kept afterwards. A favourite cookbook or other baking accessory presented in a mixing bowl or wrapped in a designer tea-towel. Gorgeous pampering bathroom products to unwind folded within a luxurious towel.
Christmas is an excellent time for children to get involved in making their own gift wrap and tags. Stamp snowflakes, stars or Christmas trees on to craft paper, if you don't want to invest in stamps you can make your own using potatoes and carrots. Copy the image on to handmade tags, add some ribbon and get wrapping!
Why not design your own containers; it's so easy then to tailor the dimensions to the present. Templates are readily available on the internet and many outlets now sell a variety of plain containers for you to decorate yourself. You can be eco-friendly by holding on to all those you have received and revamping them as and when required. Everyday items such as jars, tins and bottles can be covered, embellished and then filled with treats.
Furoshiki, the Japanese art of wrapping things in cloth, is completely new to me. The cloth needs to be large enough to wrap around several times to allow cloth for the folding technique and also thin enough to knot. If you buy a silk scarf to wrap a small present in, the gift wrap becomes part of the present. But you could also buy bargain cloth and introduce the recipient to the art of Furoshiki so they can recycle the wrapper. I'm definitely going to have a go at this.
So, let's grab a sheet from the gift wrap stand and start designing stunning and unusual ways to wrap our presents.
