Back to Gift Wrapping with New Ideas

Yesterday was the birthday of the fabulous twins Anony & Zowey! Two amazing girls deserve to have beautiful things. So for my birthday gift to them I have decided to try and wrap them up nicely and differently. FourMe also wanted me to gift wrap her present to them so it was time to dust off my gift wrapping station (post).

I had gotten the twins two Ipod Nano's since I love mine so much. Got them both silver colors with slightly different shades. Now I wanted to wrap it in a way that it doesn't show its an Ipod Nano or a box. So I grabbed two colors of tissue paper, brown and beige, one colored sheet per gift.

Layered each two sheets in a cross pattern. One gift had the beige sheet on the bottom and the other had the brown sheet on the bottom.

Gathered up the tissue paper and tied it with a rope to hold it in place. Using that red piece of rope was my big mistake but I had no choice I didn't have any other suitable rope I need supplies!

Then to hide the shape of the bottom I added golden mesh ribbon thing.

I used my trusty glue gun to glue it on. Burned my finger tips several times in the process though.

It now looks like a vase.

I added a brown ribbon on top of the golden mesh ribbon. Partly to hide the red rope.

It didn't do that good a job with hiding the rope o FourMe 3ayebat 3leehom. Oh well it looked pretty.

Then el kesha of tissue paper ele foog I tied It with a sparkly ribbon in the middle.

And I was done! Its like wrapping them in a candy wrapper style only on one side only instead of the other… Good Bad? Shraykom?

Whether they look good or bad it doesn't matter. They are unique and unusual. Now its time to wrap FourMe's gifts.

 One of FourMe's gifts had so many little boxes. The other was a flat thing. The flat thing I wrapped with the boring childish red wrapping paper I had. I must buy myself some stylish new wrapping paper. It looked like a kids gift

I had more mesh golden ribbon lying around so I used that on the side of the gift.

Added some green wire with round balls on top to create a modernistic thing. Like a kisha or somehing. Didn't work well though

Now the many boxes came in two each. I first wrapped each pair of boxes individually in wrapping papers. Then I stacked the different sized wrapped boxes on top of each other with the glue gun.

Then I added ribbons. I need more ribbons!!! Must go shopping for supplies.

Silver Ribbon.

Purple and Green Ribbon.

Added plastic butterflies.

So this is the end result.

and this is how the gifts looked at night during the birthday dinner…

The purple boxes were everyone's favorite. Every one loved it
