Fine Wrapping Enhances Gifts
Decorative wrapping can do much to enhance the appearance and value of the most simple gifts.
Here are a few suggestions to help you to better gift wrapping:
— Always work on a solid surface—a kitchen table, for instance—that affords plenty of “extra” room.
— Carefully measure paper before cutting. Cutting away excess paper after gift is half wrapped is cumbersome task, does not make for neat wrapping.
— Make your bow separately and do not attach it until rest of wrapping is completed.
— Be sure that ribbon matches at least one of the colors in wrapping paper.
— Don’t use dainty designs or pastel paper for a man’s gift.
— Paper with large designs or broad stripes should not be used to wrap small packages.
