Elevated Gift Wrapping Techniques

Ken Wingard is getting some help from Hallmark's Leavenworth Production Center and showing you how some ultimate gift wrapping techniques.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Twigs and Twine

  • Start with wrapped package
  • Use colored baking twine to wrap around the package repeatedly
  • Go to your backyard, or Christmas tree and cut a few tree clippings and insert them into the twine.

2. Felt Tree Cutouts

  • Start with wrapped package
  • Cut silhouettes of trees out of felt and sew them together end to end.
  • Attach to package.

3. Sewn Shapes

  • Double over wrapping paper with design facing inside
  • Trace out desired shape and cut it out. (Make sure your gift fits inside the perimeter.) Since the paper is doubled over, you will be cutting two equal shapes.
  • Use a sewing machine, or hand-sew, all of the edges together. Be sure to place your gift between the two sheets before you finish.

4. 3D Poinsettias

  • Start with wrapped package
  • Cut out a desired shape from the rest of your wrapping paper
  • Use that shape as a template and cut it out from colored construction paper
  • Attach each poinsettia to each other with glue or tacks; turning them in different directions to add more body
