Cathie Filian, creator and cohost of DIY’s Creative Juice, shares her tricks for crafting unique gift boxes, bags and other embellishments! These projects will cost you a fraction of what you’d spend on the card store stuff.
Tin Foil- Not Just For Sandwiches and TV Antennas
This material is the perfect fix for those odd-shaped presents, since it can be manipulated to hug whatever item you cover in it. Or even wrap your boxed gifts with this reflective foil for an eye-catching shine reminscent of Christmas tree tinsel.
What You’ll Need: 1 sheet of tin foil, ribbon or paper strip
How It’s Done: Set the gift on center of the sheet of tin foil and draw the sides up and pull the ends together at the top. Using the ribbon, make a bow to tie the ends together.
Bonus Tip: To sweeten up this project skip the bow and instead slip a strip of white paper in the top. Ta-da. You've got a hersehy kiss and the paper strip will serve as your gift tag.
