Product Description

How to make the perfect wrapping, bags, and gift tags; Packed full of ideas for handcrafted items; Includes metric equivalency charts; New in paperback Say goodbye to boring wrapping paper & generic greeting cards One thing's for sure: perfect wrapping, bags, and tags don't come from a store; they come from these eye-popping projects, that take advantage of the same tools and materials scrapbookers know and love. Every project is beautifully presented and coordinated, such as the "You're My Cup of Tea" package, with a cup and saucer swathed in mesh and silk ribbon and adorned with velvet flowers, tea bags tucked into vellum envelopes, and a Victorian calling card attached. Some of the packaging actually becomes part of the gift itself, such as metal cooling racks wired together to form a basket for kitchen items. Other ideas involve using gorgeous textured papers to cover boxes, attaching fun embellishments, and painting and decoupaging bags.

Customer Reviews

A good book if you want to follow very specific projects, but not for me..
I bought this book assuming that it would provide me with some general principles and ideas regarding creating bags, tags, boxes and cards. I was disappointed with the book as a result, because it provided very specific projects and ideas to follow with very little regarding the actual process of making my own bags and boxes. In addition, the projects inside, although adaptable to my own ideas, were not really what I was looking for. I would recommend this book for someone who perhaps wants lots of guidance and inspiration for their projects.
