Make a Gift Box Tie:
If you're wrapping a gift that includes a necktie, a tie box is a must. These black boxes are made specifically for ties and have compartments or holders that are designed to store folded neckties.
They also make a wonderful present for men's socks or self-tie bow ties, and can even be used to store other gift items such as trinkets.
Furoshiki Wrapping:
A furoshiki wrap is an easy method that can be done with almost any fabric, but works especially well with square or rectangular fabrics. Choose a print that reflects the season or the recipient, and choose thinner fabrics that are easier to knot.
Bojagi Wrapping:
A bojagi wrap is best for circular gifts, but it can also work with oval or oblong gifts. To make one, start by wrapping a long piece of fabric around the gift box. Then, cross the top and bottom corners together, holding the fabric in place with one hand while using the other to tie the two ends together. Repeat with the side corners to create a second knot on the gift.
Tulle Ribbon:
Tulle ribbon is a fast and easy way to add a festive touch to a gift, and it's perfect for creating bows on larger packages. For a simple, elegant bow, cut several lengths of tulle or ribbon and tie them at the midpoint. Fluff the ribbon's ends to create a pretty, fluttery effect.
If you're going to be wrapping many gifts, a sharp pair of scissors with a comfortable handle can help make cutting paper and ribbon a breeze. It's also a good idea to use double-sided tape, as this can help create a neat seam.
