Embellish Gifts With Wrapping Foil

Video Transcript

"Ok after you've finished the entire box with the design of your choice, we're going to add some tissue and of course if you don't have any tissue, you can just fold up this top and wrap it just like a regular present. But we're going to give it a little bit of poof at the top to make it really stand out on the gift table. You know hearts, stars, X's, initials, they're so many cute shapes that you can draw very easily with a chopstick. Now I'm stacking a piece of tissue paper that's been cut into smaller squares so I can have some real volume. I'm going to put my finger there right in the center there and then gather it. Now once I've got that pinched, I'm going to just arrange the tissue, don't pull it so hard that it tears, and you don't want to crumple it like a lot of people do, don't be one of those crumplers. If you are a crumpler stop it. Oh is that cute, now I just crumpled it a little bit didn't I. Love that now that's ready just to stick right on the top of our box. There's a lot of volume, a lot of pizazz. And then you're just going to crimp the foil, keeping this top section loose, you don't want any big wrinkles in it. That's nice. And now a little bit of ribbon, you know what would look really cute, would be a black satin bow like fabric ribbon, just tie it on like a bow tie, would be adorable. I'm going to use a little bit of curling ribbon today. I love the way this acid green and black go together with the silver. It just pops like neon, really has a lot of style. So pretty for any occasion really, and for a man or a woman. You can leave it like that or even give it a little curl, and you've got the cutest present at the party. Next I'm going to show you what you can do with wax paper, yes wax paper. You probably have some in the back of your cupboard that you haven't used in a long time. Isn't that darling."
