creative gift wrapping: spooled package
December 13, 2010 § 5 Comments
One of the simplest ways to wrap a gift is to create an envelope. The spools are both a unique and functional element to this inventive gift packaging. Ideal for boxes less than 2″ deep.
1. Cut your gift wrap with an additional 1-1/2″ on each side of the box. Make sure the you can fold the gift wrap twice around your box.
2. Using double-sided tape, fold and adhere the bottom third of your gift wrap. Insert the box.
3. Fold a triangle on the top third.
4. Using circle punches and hole punches, punch two large circles and two small circles with a hole punched in the middle. Adhere the smaller circle on the large circle.
5. Using mounting tape, adhere a 12″ length of ribbon onto the back of only one of the circles.
6. Adhere the circles as shown and spool ribbon to close.
