wrapping
a gift
It’s easy to wrap a gift and make it look special; all it takes is the craving to have a little fun. Even if you don’t have a lot of time or exotic supplies on hand you can still turn out a work of art, or at least something that will give the gift big appreciation even before it’s opened.
Just think of a mood or theme to get you started. Often times the gift itself can suggest a way of putting a little wow in the wrapping. If it takes your creative hat, then go get it, a couple of more minutes will be well spent.
Start off on the right foot. Instead of plain old tissue paper tossing in a handful of confetti is a way to add surprise. Don’t have a paper punch just use scissors to shred your own.
Decorating the wrapped gift is where you get to have real fun. Even plan paper can be enlivened with cutout shapes and stampings that you can make from found objects or potato cutouts.
You can make you own version of a ribbon and bow by practicing a little creativity. For starters try twisting string, yarn and ribbon all together to make your own gift tie.
This creative spin will definitely add a few smiles to the occasion. With just a small investment in time you can enjoy that special feeling that comes when you just cut loose and let your playful instincts come alive.
