Small Square Box New Year’s Gift Wrap
Difficulty – Medium
Materials
- Reflective silver wrapping paper
- 1 inch silver mesh wired ribbon with silver edges
- Thin silver wired ribbon
Instructions
-
- Wrap a box in silver paper.
- Wrap the thin silver ribbon 3 times continuously around the box and tie ends together on the middle string, leaving a few inches for tails. Don’t worry if the ribbon crosses on the bottom of the box.
- Cut a piece of the silver sheer ribbon long enough to wrap around the box three and a half times.
Note: Ribbon measurements for bows are approximate. The lengths may have to be adjusted slightly based on the size of the box used. - Centering the ribbon on the bottom of the box, bring the both sides of the ribbon to the center top of the box and tie in a knot.
- Using the ends, tie a bow the same way shoelaces are tied. Adjust the loops so they are even with each other.
- Trim the ends to matching lengths, cutting them into a V shape.
- To make the bow, hold the ribbon about 3 inches from the end with your thumb and form about a 2 inch loop in length. Securing the loop with your thumb, form another loop below the first loop. Continue this motion, holding each new loop with your thumb, until you have 8 loops on each side.
- Tie the bow to the package using the ribbon tails. Separate the loops from each other, fluff the bow and trim the tails to matching lengths.
