Jane has also given her top five tips to make wrapping easier: · Make sure to work from a clutter-free surface which is waist height (a kitchen counter or dining table). Have everything ready, pop on some festive music and even invite your friends around. Make wrapping a fun occasion. · Buy all your materials in advance. Leaving it to the last minute can be stressful. · Raid your closets and drawers for old decorations, left over baubles that didn’t fit on the tree, costume jewellery – all these can be added as eye catching embellishments. You can also add some holly, twigs, ivy, etc from a garden to add a natural touch. · Always use double sided tape wherever possible as it will immediately give a polished professional finish. · Choose different styles of wrapping paper which complement each other such as red and gold. They look eye-catching grouped together and if you have to join two sheets for a larger gift, it will look like a creative masterpiece.
