Make Wax Paper Gift Wrapping Ties

Video Transcript

"We're wrapping a homemade gift from our kitchen, with paper from the kitchen, wax paper. And we're going to make some cute, little strawberry tie-ons. Well, I've wrapped this jar, and we're pretending like it's strawberry preserves, it's really mustard, but don't tell anybody, with wax paper. And now, you can see, it would look so cute with a little bit of grosgrain ribbon, maybe you have some raffia. I'm going to use twine. I love the rustic look of twine. And it's so easy, just to tie, just like you're tying a shoelace. Nothing fancy, no big, fancy bow. Just a little shoelace bow. If you can tie your shoe, you can make that bow. Tighten up those loops a little bit. And it's perfect. Now we're ready to add those little strawberries. We'll need a piece of green cardstock, a piece of red cardstock. It could be construction paper, it could be scrapbooking paper, which is what I'm using. And I'm going to punch a heart. Oops. The other thing, you can do, is you can fold it over like this, and cut a heart the way we used to do in school, if you don't have a heart punch. That will work just fine. I'm also going to punch a little star. Oops, other side. There you go. Perfect."
