The perfect way to add a personal touch to your Christmas gifts, follow our easy guide below and you’ll be the talk of the town on Christmas Day!

It’s as easy as

1. Choose a fabric to fit the size of your gift. Many common items can be used: napkins, tablecloths, tea towels, scarves, fabric scraps or pillowcases are just a few easy to source options.

2.Lay your fabric flat with the decorative side face down (if your fabric has a pattern). Place your item diagonally in the centre of your fabric.

3.Draw up the fabric on either side of the longest edges and tie in a double knot at the top. Repeat the process with the other 2 sides and tie over the top of the previous knot.

4.Now that your gift is wrapped, you can personalise and decorate your gift with tags, greenery sprigs, flowers, twine, and ribbon.
