I’m really happy with how this one turned out. The paper is solid paper in pool with baker’s twine tied in a grid pattern with a flocked velvet ribbon around the middle. I cut a cardboard circle for the ribbon to feed through and then cut a tree out of the ribbon and glued it on, although I like how it looks like I actually cut a tree out of the circle. I feel bad for my nephew who is this for because there is no way other than a scissors to get in this gift.

I had so much fun wrapping this gift. First I wrapped it in two colors I’m really into right now: navy and coral (papaya) and then I put on the most yummy ribbon ever. It’s Midori’s dupioni silk ribbon and it is so lovely. I was going to stop there, but the contest specified that this was to be holiday wrapping and it didn’t look very holiday to me, so I started making paper snowflakes. I haven’t done that in decades and it is so much fun! Anyway, after I had my fun (and cleaned up all the bits of paper everywhere) I glued them on which helped make the white ribbon relevant and definitely brought in the holiday feel.

I didn’t enter this gift because I didn’t think it said “holiday” but I really love it. The ribbon is more dupioni silk ribbon from Midori in a wonderfully bright plaid. I love pretty packages whether they are in a traditional color scheme or not.

That plaid ribbon on the last package is to die for! I often cut out pix from magazines and glue them on top of a patterned gift wrap, matching color or theme or recipient. And then add a ribbon or not. Once or twice I've wrapped the top and bottom of a big box separately and reused it another year.
Wow I'm inspired, Erin. But have to admit that I don't have the patience to accomplish something like this. It's gift bags around here – Dollarama gift bags at that. Good luck with the contest. Your entries are beautiful.
And no, I'm not done wrapping. Not done shopping either.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it
to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
