Wrapping gifts can be an enjoyable and creative activity, and what a great feeling when YOUR gifts look the best under the family Christmas tree!
Here are few helpful tips 1. Plan -a theme or a look and colour palette. 2. Prepare – all the supplies you will need to create your wonderful presents. They may include wrapping paper, ribbons, gift tags, etc. Don’t forget to have the “tools of the trade” ready as well. You may require, scissors, sticky tape, cutting knife & mat, ruler, a ‘special’ pen to write on gift tags. 3. Research – look through magazines, blogs, etc. There is plenty to be inspired about, especially around the festive season. You can also find inspiration in unexpected places … nature, fashion, textiles, interiors. 4. Time- allow enough time to wrap all your gifts. Don’t rush it! Make it fun! Be creative!
