Gift Wrapping and DIY Craft Projects for Halloween
If you’re heading off to any Halloween parties this season, here’s a really clever decorating idea. I have chosen some Orange tissue. To add depth and luxury to the gift wrapping, I have pleated the wrap and you can find out how to do this on page 48 of my new book Giftwrapped
I decided to mix two ribbons together, a black stitched grosgrain and a narrow saffron stitched ribbon. These can be stuck together using Double Sided tape.
To add some extra fun I found a tub of plastic toy spiders and these are great. They are inexpensive and can be tied on with ribbon or added in to a hamper. If you have a basket of sweets for trick or treaters these too can be added as an extra decoration.
For Halloween it’s a good idea to make some easy decorations with tissue. (You will love our tissue as it’s not in packs but rolled so you get crisp sheets without any creases)
To decorate your home or party you can make some tissue pom poms. They are quick, easy and inexpensive and I have just used a single sheet of tissue to make the pom pom above. Find out how to make your own DIY Tissue Pom Pom right here on my blog.
The orange stripe paper bags also make great favour bags or for bagging up sweets for trick or treat callers
Here I have made my own gift bags with wallpaper and teamed it with some rich copper wired ribbon and dried orange slices, perfect for Autumn gifts.
Give simple brown paper boxes some jazz by adding lengths of vibrant orange ric rac. This will look great teamed with a black paper too.
Finally here’s the chance to win a pack of our very own British made 1″ wide Halloween ribbon. Just leave us a Halloween comment in the box below telling us what you would use the ribbon for (we love hearing your ideas!)
The winner will be chosen on Tuesday 28th October
Good luck folks x
