Wrapping plays a part

Gift giving is a part of almost any celebration and almost as old as celebration traditions themselves. While early ties may have been for practical purposes it’s now a shiny, brightly colored ribbon that adds to the gaiety of the occasion. By embellishing gifts with paper and ornaments we hope to send a message that expresses a special show of friendship.

Like painting, crafts and other spectator arts we hope to create something through the use of shapes, texture and color that will delight and entice the viewer. It’s a kind of visual transfer of emotion through a mysterious box concealed with paper and ties. Handmade gift tags also offer a way to enhance the message. Just a small piece of card stock and scrap paper can be put to good use. A natural element that offers the opportunity to create a small piece of art and a simple hand written thought.

Tip 23
Paper doesn’t take up much space. Old magazines, calendars and maps can be used for wrapping projects. A department store bag with bold graphics can be transformed with a little creativity.
