I am sure you have had an amazing journey through uniquely wrapped gifts if you
followed the hop to get here…if you just showed up to see what I was up to you
will want to join the journey just follow the links below. So many fabulous
ideas so little time!
Before we get into the nuts and bolts of my little wrap don’t
forget you have the option of winning free ribbon! So, head over to the May Arts
Blog to comment for your chance to win (when you are done here of course).
Uniquely wrapped gifts show how we love to gift OR that we
have far too much time on our hands! I prefer the former. This was a fun assignment….
I once was a professional wrapper, it is far more fun to tell people that I was
one then it is to write it, quick say it out loud…I am a professional wrapper,
see know I sound really cool. My kids
tell people I was a professional wrapper and they get a great reaction from their
peers and mom is a total hero…until the reality is explained. I love
to wrap gifts, I have some amazing wrapping skills and some amazing tricks up
my sleeve for an almost seamless package (we will save that tutorial for
later!). But todays wrapping we step outside of traditional wrapping.
Supplies
Red Tulle 3-inch, 471-3-14
Red Grosgrain 1.5-inch, QH-5-14
Kraft paper {I used a making paper you can find at the
hardware store light weight and easy to tear into when it is time}
Cut 2 pieces of kraft paper to desired size. Place grosgrain
ribbon across the top piece crossing in the center. Stitch together along 3 sides
about ½ -inch from the edge.
Slide gift inside the pouch pushing to the far side and sew
the final side together.
Create pom pom with
3-inch tulle and glue clip in place. Adding a pom that can be used as a
hair clip or a pin is a great way to make you “bow” reusable. Pin to center of crossed ribbon and fluff pom.
And there it is.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your days
crafting journey.
