Creative Ideas that Wrap Up Memories

If gift wrapping isn't your favorite pastime, it will be when you reach this book's final page. The mix of mediums shown to create wrapped masterpieces is expansive. Using cloth strips, candy, beads, bows, wire, and more, you'll find a wrapping style for everyone on your gift list. The Take-Out Box on the cover is one of my favorites, as it's a terrific spin on what's considered to be an ordinary container. Anyone who preserves pictures must try the Fairy Wand, and the Gift Tag section (Chapter 7) is the perfect complement to the book's central theme. I can't wait for the next special occasion to try some of these creative ideas.
