Mastering The Art Of Gift Wrapping

By Teresa Browning


Already bought a gift for a dear friend or relative but still thinking of ways on how to make it extra special? Wrapping a present must be considered equally vital as the choosing and buying part, because it is that added element of surprise that will make the celebration happy and truly memorable. With just a bit of imagination and resourcefulness, gift wrapping is just a cinch especially if you have all the needed tools and materials on hand.

The most common thing to do is putting the gift in a box and wrapping it in a themed wrapping paper. But if you want to bring in a bit of personality, why not make your own wrappers? Get a large piece of white or craft paper and create stamp patterns with the use of a wine bottle cork or your child's stamp set. Kids can help by having them doodle or draw on blank papers and using the resulting product as a gift wrapper.

Choose to reuse to save on costs. Recycle used wrappers and turn them into fillers by running them through a paper shredding machine. Another idea is to cut them up to make gift bows or gift tags. Old calendar sheets are perfect for big items and for making DIY gift wrappers.

For oddly shaped items, tin cans, jars, and baskets can be your best bet. Just place the gift inside and then wrap with cellophane or Japanese tissue paper as a finishing touch. Large handkerchiefs, table linens, or any kind of linen in a suitable design are also great for this purpose as they're pretty easy to handle.

One sure, no-fail way is to use a paper bag made particularly to package gifts. Another option is the ready-made, reusable non woven bag singapore corporate gift vendors offer. You'll find that there are quite a lot of sizes and colors to choose from. You can even hire non woven bag printing singapore companies to customize a design for you if you're ordering in bulk. You may secure the opening with a ribbon in a complementary color if the bag does not come with built-in handles.
