OK, our present is wrapped and it's time to get that flap that we set aside earlier. I'm going to stick that along the top of our present. I'm going to use a scrap booking tape runner to stick this on. You can use double stick tape, or glue stick, or rubber cement. You're going to center that hole, and then wrap around to the other side. Oops, need a little more tape so that it will hold around that flap. No-one?s going to see it, so you can use as much as you want. Terrific. Now, we're going to make these little washers. The trick to this is to punch, I'm going to use a piece of brown construction paper, to punch your center hole first. Then, using a circle punch, I'm going to center that hole in to the center of the circle punch. And that gives us that little washer wheel that we need. We only need one more of those. OK, now let's stick these little washers on and then we'll thread our thread around. Our manilla wrap present will be done. Just a little bit of double stick adhesive. We're going to, actually, let me put a little bit of tape on the back of this just so that it's extra secure. We're going to center this right over that hole that was already in the flap, and then this one is going to go just under it, like that. And now a little bit of embroidery floss, embroidery floss is perfect for this. Where's the end? Here we go. We're just going to tuck it under and make a figure eight, lifting up the paper just a little bit. This is why the double stick scrap booking adhesive is so fantastic for this. First of all, it's repositionable until it drys, and the glue stick will just slide. I didn't put enough adhesive, but you get the idea. You know how to tie your bow, it's just like tying your shoes. We're going to go to this one I've already got finished to put the final touch on this. Now, if you've got rubber stamps in your office that say fragile, top secret, eyes only, that would be perfect, paid, whatever you've got. I'm going to just write on this with red marker. I could write fragile. I'm going to write top secret. I think that's funny. Just block letters. Put an exclamation point. Now your present is fun and ready to present. Isn't that fun? I love this idea.
