hard to wrap pressies question

[porkpie1981]

Hi there!

I seen these wrapping sheets on studio that was used to wrap pressies that where hard to wrap. It was just a sheet of metaltic paper and a wee fancy rope thing to tie around the top. I have many tins of roses/quality street to wrap for ohs family and they are a pain to wrap and take ages and never quite look right! Ok ok i sound like i have a lot of time on my hands but honestly i dont! lol

Now i went on the studio webbie and cant find it! ahhhhhhhhh mybe they have sold out! The nearest thing i can find is one son ebay but they are made of like netting material and i want the wrapping paper metitic ones

Any of u know where i can get them or ant other ideas?

hey pp - i usually just use some paper off the regular rolls to do the same thing....

just set the tin or awkward to wrap thing in the middle of the wrapping and lift the corners.... this creates new corners - keep lifting til you have the item completely covered and all the ends of the paper at the top. i usually put an elastic band round that to hold securely then tie some nice ribbon round to hide elastic band....

hope that made sense!!! lol

meant to say too - if the wrap just isnt wide enough, use two pieces, but rather than set em side by side, put em in an x shape and gather the corners as described before
