Walk on the wild side! Who says the ribbon has to match the gift wrap? There are no rules when it comes to applying ribbon & finishes to your gifts.

In fact some of the most beautiful combinations happen when you mix bold prints, unexpected colours, contrasting patterns and different textures.

For these gifts I paired a wild animal print with a simple brown & white stripe. I love the result 🐆🤎 The ribbon doesn’t have to blend in. Let it make a statement!

Think of gift wrapping as a piece of design. Play. Experiment. Break the rules. And most importantly, have fun with it.

Forgive my absence on here. Life got busy, and my other job had me traveling. I’m back with the wrapping of a big birthday gift. It’s someone’s birthday in my house tomorrow. Wrapping big gifts is a challenge as one has to join paper to get the gift fully covered. I only had black paper wide enough, which helps with making the join less intrusive. I decided to add a band to hide the join and break the black and then layered various ribbon to create volume, mixing up textures, widths & prints but keeping with colours that worked with the blue band. There are no rules in gift wrapping when it comes to the finishes. I just keep adding until I think it looks like “enough”. X

The clients single wish, gifts for his wife to look elegant. A wide satin ribbon & a velvet ribbon added to a metallic green wrap to achieve overall elegance. The finish is bold and striking.

A balloon to match. What a chore. I decided the balloon should match the gift. I bought a foil balloon and then used spray glue to stick paper napkins to the foil. I removed the backing of the paper serviettes first, then cut the large serviette into smaller blocks, which made the application simpler, and covered the balloon. Once I’d let it dry I took it to be filled with helium, and guess what? The addition of paper makes it too heavy to float. If you try this don’t waste money on helium just blow it up with air, and maybe hang it from an elevated point to get the desired effect. Happy weekend everyone!

If you are looking for me this weekend - I’ll be right here wrapping over 100 FOM backpacks for a corporate client.

I’ll share all the details when I can - but for now this is a surprise gift, so can’t reveal how I finish it off, branding will give it away. I’m so thrilled with the final look - it’s giving Chanel vibes.

This client truly appreciates the value of creating an unforgettable gifting experience. Keep your eyes on my page for the full reveal. Happy Saturday!
