I'm Amy Snively, and today we're wrapping presents with things that you have already, just laying around the house. Right now, we're going to work with things from the kitchen, like foil, and wax paper, parchment paper, things like that. We're going to start with some aluminum foil. The trick with wrapping with aluminum foil is, you want to make sure that your present doesn't look like you're giving somebody leftovers from your refrigerator. So, we're going to use some heavy duty foil today, and use an embossing technique, to have a really high-end, elegant look. You can even wrap a wedding present with this stuff. So, of course, we need our heavy duty aluminum foil, and I do recommend heavy duty, because the other stuff is just too flimsy, and it can tear, when you emboss it with a chopstick, a chopstick, or a dull pencil, or, you know, something like that will work. We'll need scissors, of course, and cellophane tape. Of course, our present, and a little bit of ribbon, if you have it, maybe some colored yarn. And if you want to, optionally, some colored tissue. I'll show you both ways to do it, with and without the colored tissue, if you don't have any tissue on hand. It's a great emergency technique. Next, we're going to wrap up this box.
