gift wrapping with fabric - corner tie wrap... August 1, 2011
Since adding the new fold section to the shop I’ve been playing with fabrics and discovering new ways of wrapping things. I’ve loved wrapping gifts since I was a kid, and well nothing has changed over the years. I used to tell my sister that I wanted to be a professional gift wrapper – is there such a thing?? Anyway, here is a nice way to wrap a gift with fabric. You can download the how-to here. And if you like it, please let me know and I’ll keep on adding more :) Happy folding, friends! xo

I like this pattern and yes, please do add more. Ways to wrap with paper or fabbric are always interesting.

What a lovely idea – I’ve got a couple of gifts that were sitting waiting for paper and thanks to this are about the be smartly wrapped in offcuts instead! More of these would be fab :)
