"Ok next, we're going to wrap a gift with a manila envelope. This one's a little bit more complex than some of the other ones we've done, but still easy enough to do in a hurry, when you're having a gift emergency. And it's so cute. We're going to need a manila envelope, of course, and some scotch tape. I need double-stick tape for this project, as well. Glue stick will work, but double-stick tape or a scrapbooking tape runner will be a lot easier for you. You'll need a hole punch, and if you have one, one of these circle punches. Or, if you have some little washers, like you might find at an office supply store or a hardware store that would work as well. You'll need two. I'm going to use some embroidery floss, for our little bow. And we need one brad, I'm sorry, two, two brads, like office brads or smaller, would be great. And, optionally, a red marker. Ok? Next we're going to cut up our manila envelope, and wrap this little frame."
