Wrap with love

*All Wrap Up*

Ive always have a thing for wrapping gifts! I would always find a reason to wrap something! so was happy that one of my dear friend's Birthday is Near. went shoping for her gift and found a lovely cupcake recipe book that comes with a Very nice metal box. i thought is such a waste to wrap it up but at the same time feels is lack of some personal touch to it if its not wrap up. So i decided to Wrap it with pretty Bows ! still able to see the pretty box and yet with a touch of love.

simple yet beautiful.

is really simple and does not take up much time. here is the tutorial is u like to try it out yourself. 

things u need

here are the list of things u need.

1. organza ribbons (2 types of colours) 

ive chosen red and gold that matches the gift box

2. scissors 

3.thread

4.gold paint

5. paint brush

6.pine corns (ive picked them during my stay at Bukit Tinggi , finally put it into good use Lol)

7. ruler

thats pratically all u need. simple right ? =)

1.First Measure The ribbons length by simply trying it on the box enough to wrap all around the box. make sure 2 of them are equal length.

step2.then twist it over the box. here is the video on how to do it, u can watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScT15x33v3Y

step 3.after tying the not.be sure to leave some ends for the next step.

step4. starting to work on the bows.

step 5. twist it together 

step 6.

step 7.

I added a touch of my own twist to it and painted the pine corns with  gold paint and left it dry (it takes about 15 minutes or so ) 

step 8. 

Twist a thread around the pine corn and and tie a knot. then Tie them on the bow where u can hide the thread. (as shown in the picture)
