Creatively wrapping gifts in foil – ideas
Most gift baskets are wrapped with foil. This gives the recipient an insight straight away. In addition, the basket itself is very pretty to look at, which is why it should not be hidden behind opaque paper. A basket is packed after it has been filled and it is very simple:
Wrapping gifts in foil - instructions for a basket
- Cut a piece of foil that is significantly larger than the height of the basket. This is the only way to get enough material so that you can tie it well afterwards.
- Spread out the piece of foil and place the basket in the middle of it.
- Now take all four sides up and tie them with any string.
- Then hide the cord with a pretty ribbon and, if you like, a bow.
These instructions are also suitable for boxes,round giftsor other forms.
Quick idea for bottles
You wantPack bottles? Foils are also great for this. Again, the piece of foil should be larger. The film is then usually tied at the neck of the bottle. You can also use a foil with only one open side and then simply put it over the bottle instead of putting it in the bag. Just experiment a little. You can also do this with additional decorations.
Wrap a bouquet of flowers with foil
Would you likeBouquets of flowers as giftsTo wrap it creatively in foil, you will need a piece of kitchen paper that you moisten beforehand. It serves to keep the bouquet hydrated until it is placed in a vase. Cut a piece of foil approximately the size of the bouquet. Then spread the foil out on the table so that one of the corners faces upwards and place the moistened kitchen paper in the middle.
Shorten the ends of the flower stems a little and then place these ends on the kitchen paper, which you then wrap around the stems. Now fold the bottom corner up and then one of the two sides, which you fix with adhesive tape. Finally, fold over the other side and glue it in place too. You can hide the area with the adhesive strips with ribbon, a bow or other decorations.
