Just wanted to share with you another gift wrapping idea that I did for the little one’s teachers last March, for her Moving Up Day.
I have a whole bunch of twigs at home from a flower arrangement that my sister used for her son’s baptism. Being the crafter that I am, I knew that these twigs would come to good use someday so I convinced the hubby to let me keep them and not throw them out :). I’m glad he agreed :).
For these particular gifts, I decided to use the twigs as accessories, dressing them up with three different colors of string–red, pink and white–to contrast the black floral print of the wrapping paper. The string is crochet string, and I bought it in National Book Store. The wrapping paper is from the stationery department of SM Hypermart :).
When it came to attaching the twigs to the gift, at first I tried using glue, but unfortunately, it didn’t adhere properly. So instead I tried using my ever reliable and decorative washi tape, which I think gave it an interesting effect :).
For the final touch, I decided to stick the gift cards in some non-typical places, just to provide some visual interest again. In hindsight, I should have probably cut the card in the shape of a leaf and position it next to the twig so that it looked like it was attached. Oh well. Maybe next time :)…
