Making Great Bags, Tags, Boxes & Cards

By Karen Delquadro

Book Overview

One thing's for sure: perfect wrapping, bags, and tags don't come from a store; they come from these eye-popping projects, that take advantage of the same tools and materials scrapbookers know and love. Every project is beautifully presented and coordinated, such as the You're My Cup of Tea package, with a cup and saucer swathed in mesh and silk ribbon and adorned with velvet flowers, tea bags tucked into vellum envelopes, and a Victorian calling card attached. Some of the packaging actually becomes part of the gift itself, such as metal cooling racks wired together to form a basket for kitchen items. Other ideas involve using gorgeous textured papers to cover boxes, attaching fun embellishments, and painting and dcoupaging bags.

Customer Reviews

Only decorating..

This book was a disappointment to me because I was thinking it would be talking about actually making boxes and it’s more just decorating things. But if you’re into making your own cards, then this would be good to get some ideas from. It’s just that’s not what I was hoping for.

The mastery is there. You can see it throughout. If you want everything to look perfect, this is where you look.
