Gift wrapping: you either love it or hate it. If you’re in the second group, it’s probably because you want your gifts to look better and take less time. And with the gift giving season quickly approaching, now is the ideal time to brush up on your gift wrapping skills. Our friend and most gifted wrapper, Lia Griffith, visits the blog today to share her tips and tricks for wrapping the most beautiful presents. She shares how to tie the perfect bow, create a 3D paper bow and a custom gift bag. Whether you’re an absolute novice or consider yourself a pro, you’ll love this tutorial.

Lia: This gift wrapping tutorial is something I have been excited about for a long time. I am a huge gift wrapping geek (is there such a thing?!) and I’m proud to have won the Scotch® Brands Most Gifted Wrapper Contest a few years ago. I love putting together beautifully wrapped gifts for every occasion and will always top them off with a handmade gift topper in paper or felt – such fun! I have a couple tips and tricks in my gift wrapping tutorial to help you get that gift wrapping just right, and hopefully make the holiday season a little easier all round!

You might want to add a note that the bow template is not free. It costs $5 a month for a subscription.

Definitely a disappoint that the bow download is not free. I feel this tutorial is a bit of a deception.

Can you share what is the faux bois pattern on gift wrap to order?

It is almost time to wrap gifts for Christmas. This is the time of the year that I enjoy so much because wrapping presents is a fun activity for me. As early as 3 months before Christmas, I plan on the theme for my wrappers and ribbons. I usually use double-sided tape to stick the wrapper together. I like how flawless the wrapping looks.
