'Tis the season for wrapping! And I do love a nicely wrapped gift. I've only ever met a few others with the same penchant for nice wrapping as myself (ahem... Mom and Janice). If you're wrapping a ballerina birthday gift, a Christmas or Hanukkah gift, a well presented package is just so... fun! So, with the season of wrapping around us, I thought I'd share a few jobs that I did with you all.
For my package to my brother and family I used a traditional ribbon and bow (love this red with white). I'm a big fan of silver as a holiday color, and thought the red popped nicely.
You know how one acquires those leftover wrapping bits? Bows, curly ribbon and decorative tags that you just can't bear to toss out? Well I have those in spades, but I also have a vast amount of leftover tulle from my tutu making projects. I thought wrapping would be a great way to put those pieces to use! Tulle is nice and can have a nice wintery and delicate feeling as a bow. Here is a traditional pinkish white version, and a more bold black and red one. The picture doesn't show it, but that black tulle actually has some sparkle to it!
If you have any fun wrapping ideas I'd love to hear them! E-mail me at: theballerinabirthday@gmail.com to share!
