Items:
1 sheet of plain paper
1 sheet of cellophane
Double-sided tape
Glue stick
Confetti or cut-out paper shapes in a variety of colors
Step 1: On a plain sheet of paper, cut to fit gift, toss a handful of confetti or cut shapes, making sure the pieces stay towards the center of the page.
Step 2: Place double-sided tape along edges of paper, making sure you leave no gaps for the confetti to escape.
Step 3: Place a piece of cellophane the same size as the plain paper on top, pressing firmly along the sides.
Step 4: Wrap your present and give it shake — if nothing breakable is inside — and watch the confetti and shapes move around the package.
Ribbon Weave
by Liz Scott, owner of Lovely Somethings
Items:
Wrapping paper
2 thick ribbons
1 gift tag
5 thin ribbons
5 or 6 pencils
Tape
Step 1: Wrap your gift.
Step 2: Tie the thin ribbons around a large pencil, spaced a little less than an inch apart.
Step 3: Affix the two larger ribbons in the opposite direction down one side of the box and tape the ends to the bottom.
Step 4: Pull the thinner ribbons taut to the opposite end and tape to the bottom of the box. Use one larger piece of tape to keep the ribbons spaced properly and manageable.
Step 5: Weave the other pencils (twigs or dried flowers can be used as well) between the thinner ribbons, over and under, and repeat. Add a gift tag with a fun message.
