Trim your Christmas wrapping in red-and-white style
Transform plain wrapping paper for presents you’ll be proud to give to loved ones
You will need
• Wrapping paper
• Shredded tissue
• Assorted ribbons
• Snowflake stamp and ink pad
• Red and white card (or ready-made tags)
• Punch
• Baker’s twine
How to make
First wrap your gifts, using double-sided tape for a neat finish, packing plenty of shredded tissue inside any boxes to protect fragile items.
Then (clockwise from top left):
● Add a simple spotted ribbon trim and a heart-shaped tag
● Tie a package up with baker’s twine and add a heart-shaped tag cut from card
● Use two pieces of ribbon and stamp a snowflake on a plain white tag to coordinate
● Brighten up a white parcel with ‘Happy Christmas’ ribbon and a tag cut from red card with a snowflake punched out
● Stamp a bold snowflake design white paper and tie with wide satin ribbon
● Use pinking shears to cut a strip of contrast paper long enough to wrap around your present and punch out small snowflakes. Wrap around the gift and finish with a spotted ribbon and a gift tag with a punched-out snowflake.
Tip: A roll of sturdy white poster paper is great for large presents and colours won’t show through.
