BOXWOOD STYLE: WRAPPED UP!

Wrapped up: Boxwood Style

If you plan ahead and choose your materials carefully, wrapping presents can be as enjoyable as opening them. These tips will help you make a well-organized gift-wrapping plan, which can save money as well as time.
Fill a wrappings box with papers, ribbons, and other embellishments you collect all year long; save bits of ribbons, seam binding, and twine, along with decorative fruit and leaves, and tiny ornaments.

Choose your paper, tags & ribbon carefully, matching & clashing is good, but sometimes it just doesn’t work, think before you stick or tie! (Boxwood Christmas wrap £2.00 per sheet)

Ribbons and tags are easily crushed, so don't add them until you're ready to display or give the gifts. (Boxwood ribbon from £1.50/ meter & luggage tags from 30p).
Personalise your tags with buttons, ribbons, or even greenery such as holly or ivy. Try trimming the end of a luggage tag with pinking shears, tie on a tiny bunch of berries & thread a pies of velvet ribbon through the punched hole, this will create a charming gift tag that will be very much appreciated.

Use simple, inexpensive materials like tissue paper or kraft paper, then transform gifts with special ribbons and items from your wrappings box. Try using kraft paper & garden twine, this creates a rural/rustic effect, perfect for wrapping odd shaped gifts.
Be creative, plan ahead, don’t throw out scraps of ribbon & you’ll be able to create beautifully wrapped gifts; now all you have to worry about is making or buying the contents!
