How to do it
A Roll out the wrapping paper with the outside facing up and place a screen stencil on top. Saturate a foam stencil brush with ink from the ink pad and dab the ink on to the design(s) of the screen stencil. Leave to dry and wrap the present in the wrapping paper. Tie a piece of cord around the present and decorate with a pom-pom in the middle. For instructions on how to make pom-poms, see our website and enter '14015' into the search box. (Instructions for tassels follow further down in this idea).
B Roll out the wrapping paper with the outside facing up. Saturate a rubber stamp and make a print according to your taste on the paper. Leave to dry and wrap the present. Use yarn for ribbon and decorate with a pom-pom in the middle together with gold thread. Attach a manilla tag to the gold thread.
C Roll out the wrapping paper with the outside facing up and place a screen stencil on top. Saturate a foam stencil brush with ink from the ink pad and dab the ink on to the design(s) of the screen stencil. Leave to dry and wrap the present in the wrapping paper. Tie a piece of cotton cord around and decorate at the top with a twig which is decorated with small balls of Silk Clay (press on without using glue).
4 Tassel: Begin by wrapping a piece of cotton cord several times around 3 fingers.
5 Tie a small piece of cord around the bundle, in order to assemble the tassel and also for having something to hang it by at the the end.
6 Wrap another piece of cord around the bundle approx. 1-2 cm from the end and the previous piece of cord.
7 Cut open the bundle.
