Shrink Wrap at Home

Are you starting a home business? Are you wanting your items to be shrink wrapped? I didn't know where to start when I started shrink wrapping my gift baskets. Here are some great tips to share.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • shrink wrap
  • heating gun or hair dryer
  1. Step 1

    You can buy shrink wrap at any craft store. You can also you shrink wrapped bags for doing things like gift baskets. They also come in variety of sizes for things like candles, cd cases, or even wrapping basket balls. You can also use your hair dryer or purchase a heat gun.

  2. Step 2

    Place your item in between two pieces of shrink wrapped evenly. You can also place your item in the gift bag if you choose to use gift bag.

  3. Step 3

    Start shrink wrapping with your hair dryer from back to front. That way it pulls from the front and it will be completely flat on the front side. It can take a long time depending on the object to get it completely shrink wrapped so be patient. You either shrink wrapped it completely closed or if you doing a basket tie the top with a ribbon.
