Whenever I get the chance (time) I like to wrap my gifts rather than take the lazy route, known as "stuff-it-in-a-bag-and-done." Trust me, I have stuffed gifts in bags many many times, but wrapping is just so much more personal and special. I often go over to Oh Happy Day blog for great ideas on, well, just about anything. I loooove Jordan's craftiness..you must check out her blog. Anyway, I recently wrapped this lovely gift for a good friend of mine. I love calla lilies and this was so easy to put together. Sorry I don't have the step-by-step, but go here to see how these paper beauties are made.
Nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on gift wrapping and I think the wrapping is as important as the gift is. The presentation makes a world of difference to the person receiving it.
ReplyDeleteI love to add special touches to gifts I wrap. When I receive an order from my Etsy Shop, I always wrap it with really pretty tissue paper, a white tissue paper with a gold fleur de lis or a pretty black and cream toile. I then add a piece of navy twine that is wrapped around the package and then tied. I also use an antique mother of pearl button that I have looped through the holes of the button and tied into a sweet little bow.
It makes for a lovely wrap and I can't tell you the number of people who have commented and said they almost didn't want to open it because of the wrapping.
I love calla lilies too, and your wrapping is very nice. Thank you for visiting us and following Red Rose Alley. I see that we have alot of the same interests.
