Hello Reader, Firstly, a very warm welcome if you're new here. It's lovely to have you as part of the Gift Wrapping Made Easyโข community. Can you believe we've reached the August Bank Holiday weekend already? And for many of you, next week will mean back to school, back to routines and that definite feeling that summer is starting to wind down. But before all that, we have the long weekend. And if the Bank Holiday turns out to be characteristically British, i.e. requiring an umbrella and wellies rather than sunglasses and a barbecue โ๏ธ๐, I have just the thing to keep you occupied... Big, flouncy bows! ๐ Sometimes a beautifully wrapped gift needs a simple bow. And sometimes you just need to GO BIG! What you'll need: ๐ A roll of ribbon - the amount needed will depend on the size and fullness of your bow. Choose 25mm or 40mm wide; lightly wired ribbon works well too โ And if you do have a go over the Bank Holiday weekend, I'd love to see it! Take a photo of your big flouncy bow and share it on Instagram. Make sure you tag me (@louiselewisuk) so I can see what you've created. Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend, whatever the weather decides to do! Lou |

Because yes, I still practise! ๐ My favourite gift wrapping technique has got to be pleating. Whether it's what I'll call an ordinary pleat, a fanned pleat or pretty much anything in between, I love how something as simple as folding the paper can completely change the look of a gift,...
Hello Reader, Here we are at the end of another week of uncharacteristically hot UK weather - our new normal?! My sticky tape is just about surviving this time around ๐This week, though, I want to talk about pot plants. Have you ever bought someone a lovely pot plant as a gift... and then simply handed it over in the bag it came in from the shop? ๐ชด There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, of course. But what if you could make it look just a little bit more special? Plants are an awkward...
