Whatever the shape of your gift, there's a
clever way to dress it up. Use brown paper, newspaper,
kitchen foil, bright tissue paper. Your friends will love
the care you took.
| Soft Toys |
| No need to
hide a cute soft toy. Place on a large sheet of clear
cellophane and bunch up. Make it pretty with baubles
and bright ribbon. |
 |
|
|
|
|
Round |
 |
To
keep wrapping neat, pleat brown paper as you go around
the circumference. Cut a circle of paper, slightly
smaller than the circumference and glue on. Fold
tissue paper into a long strip and tie around the
gift, bunching up at the top. Secure with tartan
ribbon. |

|
|
Shapeless |
 Towels,
T-shirts, lingerie and all else you can roll up can be
disguised as a giant cracker. Go halves with kitchen
foil and tissue paper or tissue in two colours.
Ordinary wrapping paper doesn't work well because you
can't get well-fluffed ends. |
|
|
|
|
Flat |
| No Need to
explain how to wrap a slim box or a book. Finish off
with a long strip of tissue paper, folded lengthwise
and simply twisted. Separate the double layer and
arrange so it looks like flowers. |

|
|
|
|
Triangles and Odd Angles |
 |
Old magazines
make colorful wrappers. Place gift on a large page and
start by folding one side, tuck in corners and keep
folding until you finish off somewhere in the middle. |
|
|
|
|
Rectangle |
| Use leftover
fabric or buy a few metres of cotton to use instead of
paper. Top with a decorative poinsettia for Christmas. |
 |

|
| Several
Gifts |
 |
What do you
do when you've got more than one gift? Put them in a
stocking, a patterned paper bag or, if the gifts are
pretty enough to be displayed (toiletries or jams and
teas), a basket. Line the basket with tissue paper so
you get a spillover of colour and tie basket with a
matching scarf. |
|
|
|
|
Cylinder |
| Pleat around
the top and bottom circumferences and top with ribbons
and curls. |
 |
|
|
|
|
Bottle |
 |
Silver balls
and black lacy ribbons can make even newspaper look
sexy. Combine black tissue with newspaper for the most
elegantly dressed bottle of wine. |
