Are you just a little bored of grabbing some paper from the gift wrap stand, wrapping it around your present and taping it down? Is it starting to look a little dull and unimaginative? With a little bit of time and effort we can transform that sheet of paper from the gift wrap stand and other items into something very unique for that carefully chosen gift. Your family and friends will love the packaging as much as the gift.
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.
The festive season is an excellent excuse (as if we need one) for a crafting extravaganza. You can purchase stamps, die-cuts, peel-offs, papers, motifs and much, much more to produce your own personalised paper and labels. Bake small goodies with the children and then help them make their own Christmas containers out of kitchen roll inners covered with a rectangle of coloured paper or gift wrap and decorated with simple motifs to create a seasonal look.
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.
Combine a bargain buy from the gift wrap stand with some artistic imagination and make a totally exclusive look.
