Product Description

Gift-wrapping has become big business, as busy people flock to the gift-wrapping departments of their favorite stores, and to high-end personal gift wrappers. Gift givers are frequently spending as much or more on wrapping than on the gift itself. For anyone who pays attention to the details and insists upon the finishing touch that a creatively wrapped gift provides, this book is for you.

It teaches, through step-by-step projects, how to wrap commonly shaped gifts beautifully and affordably. Design tips and resources for materials and designing home gift centers help take anyone's skill to the next level.

Included in the book are step-by-step projects that are easily duplicated; instructions for folding paper and making bows; interesting ideas for bow making and sources of papers and lots of ideas that are appropriate for various gifting occasions. Above all, the ideas are presented through beautiful photographs of completed gift-wrapped packages, step-by-step illustrations, and how-to copy and resources.

Wonderful ideas!5
I have enjoyed learning about new and innovate ways to wrap both simple boxes and unusually shaped gifts. This book makes it easy to learn the creative techniques by showing simple diagrams along with step by step instruction. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in beautifully wrapped gifts. This book reminds us that the art of presentation should be as important as the gift itself.

A fantastic guide that produces beautiful end results!5
Gifted Wrapping is a wonderful resource for anyone who enjoys presenting beautifully wrapped gifts - including beginners! The book has so many creative ideas and helpful tips. It is well written and the instructions are very easy to follow. The wraps are truly beautiful - and make the 'present'ation of a gift as wonderful as the giving of the gift itself!
