Fabric gift wrap tutorial

Step outside the box with fabric gift-wrapping - by Tilly Roberts
  • 09 Nov 2018

Remnants of fabric, partnered with natural touches, are the ideal solution for gift-wrapping with a carefree, sophisticated style.

Cath Muscat

Materials needed:

Fabric scissors

Pieces of fabric in assorted fibres and colours

Selection of flora

Tip: Select soft, natural fabrics such as linen or cotton for a touch of elegant simplicity. For bargain buys, search the remnant bins at your local fabric store.

To make:

Cut fabric to suit size of gift.

For a square-shaped gift, lay fabric flat and shaped like a diamond. Place gift in centre.

Fold one corner over gift. Fold opposite corner over the top.

Bring together the other two corners of fabric and tie in a knot to secure.

For unusual-shaped gifts, experiment with size and shape of fabric.

Decorate gifts with leaves, small branches or handmade name tags.
