I've started wrapping

this is by far one of the favorites i have wrapped this holiday season. i found wrap, ribbon and a topper that matched
beautifully. i wrapped this for someone who likes owls. i noticed owl things are huge this year. i love the colors
in this gift and it looks great under the tree.

lots of glitter for this one, but it turned out great. i used a mint green kraft wrapping paper. i then came across this cream and gold poinsettia wired ribbon. then by some miracle of my wrapping imagination i found a gold poinsettia to attach to the top of the gift. i did not do a bow on this gift, made four tails coming out from under the poinsettia. the poinsettia being the center piece of the gift rather than a huge glittery bow.

this year i bought a lot of red and white wrap. i used the red and white stripes to turn this into a candy
themed present. i used satin ribbon in a double bow. i like to use satin double bows on some gifts because they are easier to undo and if the gift is for someone who i know i appreciate my wrapping but not the time it takes to just remove a bow, this style works a whole lot better.
