Ken Wingard is getting some help from Hallmark's Leavenworth Production Center and showing you how some ultimate gift wrapping techniques.
- 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.
- Start with wrapped package
- Cut silhouettes of trees out of felt and sew them together end to end.
- Attach to package.
- 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.
- 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
