Creative wrapping<br />
adds intrigue to gifts<br />
The first tip to make the job easier and<br />
the wrapping look more professional is to<br />
do the task on a flat surface – a table or a<br />
hard floor.<br />
Recycling has become an important<br />
aspect of modern-day life, and that’s easy<br />
to do with gift-wrapping. For example,<br />
those brown paper bags you have put<br />
aside are ideal, especially for odd-shaped<br />
gifts. To give them a Christmassy look,<br />
you could glue on those left-over pieces<br />
of wrapping paper from last year that are<br />
too small to use, and add a candy cane or<br />
chocolate with the gift tag.<br />
Another quirky idea is to wrap your gifts<br />
in fabric. You could cut up a garment you<br />
no longer wear, or look out those left over<br />
pieces from curtains or clothing you have<br />
made. Tie them up with fabric ribbon to<br />
complete the look.<br />

Most of the malls offer a free gift-wrapping service, which<br />
is a great help at this busy time, but for those who prefer<br />
to wrap their own here are a few ideas to make gifts look<br />
unique and exciting.<br />
Using newspaper or cardboard boxes as<br />
wrapping is another recycling idea, and<br />
you could add a festive look by tying<br />
them with Christmas ribbon.<br />
For long-shaped gifts, why not wrap them<br />
to look like a Christmas cracker. Place a<br />
tube of cardboard around the item, then<br />
put it inside a sheet of wrapping paper,<br />
secure it with tape then scrunch up the<br />
ends like a cracker and tie them off with<br />
coloured ribbon.<br />
Kitchen foil is another wrapping option.<br />
Being silver and shiny it already has a<br />
festive look, which you could enhance<br />
with bright-coloured ribbon.<br />
Make a container, such as a jar, tin or<br />
tray one part of the gift. Complete it with<br />
chocolates, nuts or biscuits and wrap the<br />
gift in clear cellophane tied with brightcoloured<br />
ribbon.<br />
