Thanks
@Carole . Your presents look so lovely ! I do the straightforward boxes like your first picture .Well......same method.....end result not so much like the picture
. Tried the curly thing before with the ribbon and didn't have much success.(Watched my neighbour once a few years ago and she made it look so easy.... ). My art teachers used to go mad at me for messing around , but I really
was doing my best !
Wrapped the presents I've got so far last night , as I thought son was coming home for a few days so needed to get them out of his bedroom and hidden away (but now hubby got really bad chest infection so had to advise him not to come afterall ...but at least they are done now ).
I was aided by the carriage clock and other ornaments to hold the paper down , and the coffee table to stick the sellotape to so that I could find the end again. End result a big pile of presents looking nothing as nice as yours , but I did put some ornamental plants into a box to keep them safe, and bunged a ribbon bow I found on top so that I knew which way up to keep it
. Should have put the clock present into a box as well , but at least from the weird wrapping you'd never guess what it is
.
After seeing how good yours look with the ribbons, planning to wrap some ribbon around the presents I've already wrapped for hubbys work mate ... listen for the swearing tomorrow
