DIY Gift Wrapping with Tags
Instructions No. 2628Are you still looking for a beautiful gift wrapping for a special person? In our example, we have packed the gift in a jute bag and embellished it with self-cast tags. In addition, the gift is personalised by branding the name or a nice saying on the wooden spoon.
This is how the packaging with the tags is designed:
For the castings, mix about 6 heaped tablespoons of raisin with water. The consistency should be like a pancake batter. Pour the mixture into the mould and leave to dry for 30 to 40 minutes. Then remove from the mould and leave to air dry for another 15 minutes. Afterwards, the castings can be painted with craft colours as desired.
Wrap the gift:
Place the gift in the bag and tie it shut. The jute string from the sack forms the back of the gift wrapping. Turn on the branding iron and wait about 5 minutes until it is hot. Now you can burn your desired saying or name onto the wooden spoon.
Tie the designed wooden spoon to the bag with a decorative ribbon (here with a lurex edge). On top of this, knot the taffeta ribbon and wrap it around an elongated object such as a wooden skewer to create the shape as shown in the photo. Now eucalyptus or fir branches can be stuck into the decorative ribbon. The bells are knotted to perlon yarn and these are attached to the ribbons or eucalyptus branches. Finally, a Secret Santa is tied to the bag with the cotton cord.
Finished is a great individual gift wrapping!
