Just a quick post to share some more wrapping ideas. I really enjoy trying out different things to make each gift unique.

For this wrap I pleated the paper and used tartan to make a rose, added fresh foliage. I love the idea of using both holly and ivy.

For this effect I used a tooth brush, dipped in watered down acrylic paint to add a snowy look. Simply dip the brush into the paint and pull your thumb across the bristles to sprinkle on to the paper. The snowflakes were stamped on

A nice idea is to use tea towels as wrapping. I used one to wrap a cookery book and added an angel cookie cutter, and another to wrap a bottle. Both are super easy and would make delightful gifts

These wraps were all done for demonstrations at White Stuff, Edinburgh and rolls of Brown paper are available from Costco.co.uk or Costco.com

HAVE A WONDERFUL FESTIVE SEASON
