Make and Create: Very Berry Gift Wrapping!

Very Berry Christmas Make and Create - christmas gifts with red berry

What’s better than receiving a Christmas present? Receiving a beautifully wrapped Christmas present! Here are some tips for adding that little extra thoughtful touch to each gift you wrap – and ensuring that not only does your tree itself look beautiful, but what’s sitting under it does too.

What You’ll Need
• Wrapping paper – we love the look of recycled brown and red – using two different types provides a little contrast under the tree. If you’re feeling extra creative, you could also try making your own!
• Strips of white burlap fabric in lieu of ribbon – hessian or any loosely woven fabric also looks gorgeous and adds texture
• Thin red twine
• Plastic berries as an extra touch – check out the Christmas section of your local two dollar shop for other things you might like tie into your bow to add some intrigue, such as mini baubles or snowflake decorations

Method
1. Wrap your presents with the wrapping paper
2. Use the thick strips of fabric to wrap around the long width of your gift, and tie a bow
3. Use the thinner ribbon or twine to tie around the long width, providing contrast.
4. Fasten your berries and gift tag, or whichever extra details you like, with the thinner twine.
5. Show us your creative wrapping with us by sharing on our Facebook page!
