BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS GIFTS

WHEN YOU WRAP a gift,
you express yourself as uni-
quely as when you sign your

name. Your tastes and
creativity — even your sense
of humor ~— combine to

make each gift a personal
creation that will delight the
recipient.

That’s why, in gift wrapp-
ing, there are no set rules, but
there are certain basics —
such as how to wrap a round
box or tie a pom pom bow —
that will make the task easy
and fun.

Hallmark’s gift wrap
stylists offer the following
suggestions that will help you
create a professional looking
package.

WRAPPING THE BOX

First line the box by
pleating two or three
thicknesses of tissue as wide
as the width of the box, and
do the same for the length,
then cross them in the box.
For the prettiest effect choose
a color of tissue that comple-
ments the dominant color of
your gift wrap. Next, gather
additional tissue neatly

around the gift, if necessary,
and place it in the box. Fold
the tissue lining over the gift
and if you like, use a color
coordinated gift enclosure.

To wrap a square box, cen-
tre the cut paper beneath the
box. Lifting the paper, trim
the overlap so it can be turn-
ed under slightly to create a
neat edge. Turn under and
secure with tape. The paper
should extend over both ends
of the box a little more than
half the depth of the box.
Fasten the ends by folding
the sides in, the top flap
down, and then the bottom
flap up. Secure with con-
cealed tape. Attach a mat-
ching gift trim or seal.

ROUND BOXES
OVAL BOXES
CYLINDERS
AND TUBES

These shapes present the
most problems to novice gift-
wrappers, but with a little
practice and by following
these basics, you can turn out
a perfect package every time.

Trace the top and bottom
of the box (or cylinder) and

cut out two circles. Wrap the
box, leaving a slight overlap
so it can be turned under
slightly. Secure with tape.
The paper should extend over
the top and bottom of the
box slightly.

Snip the edges of the wrap-
ping paper even with the
edgés of the box. Secure with
paste or tape. Attach the
circles to the top and bottom
with paste or concealed tape.

For cylinders and tubes,
wrap the paper around two
or three times when you
begin. Flare the ends of the
completed gift wrap, or fr-
inge them with the scissors
like a party favor.

TIPS ON TYING

Dress up your wrapped
package with any one of a
wide variety of mbbon and
cord available in a myriad of
colors. Fasten your chosen
nbbon in basic fashion across
the package or on _ the
diagonal, or use your im-
agination to come up with a
variation on these designs.

bows available — try your

the easiest to work with.

To make a yarn bow, loop
the yarn back and forth until
the desired number of loops
is reached. Tie very tightly in
the centre with a separate
piece of yarn and flare the
loops out to form the bow.
Knots may be tied in the
loose ends of the yarn to
create an interesting effect.

You can create your own
yarn pom pom by wrapping
the yarn around a 3x5’’ file
card. Tie the yarn in the cen-
tre with a piece of spool wire,
then cut ends of loops with
scissors. Shake the pom pom
vigorously and trim the ends,
with a symmetrical ball. Roll
it in your hands to make it
fuzzy.
