Hello Reader,

A very warm welcome if you're new here. Every couple of weeks, I pop into your inbox with a little gift wrapping inspiration, ideas to try and, quite often, a peek at what I've been practising too.
​
Sometimes it's the smallest details that make the biggest difference to how a wrapped gift looks.
​

And with Christmas wrapping season getting closer, I'm sharing two quick ribbon tips that you might find useful.
​

Tip 1: Don't tie that knot!
​

I know it's tempting to tie a knot before making your bow, to keep everything secure.
​

But you really don't need to!
​

Avoiding that knot means you can reposition your bow more easily, and there's a much better chance of reusing your lovely ribbon afterwards - no need to take a pair of scissors to it!

Tip 2: Get rid of that annoying little bump!
​

Have you ever turned over a beautifully wrapped gift and noticed a little lump where the ribbons cross underneath?
​

It's a tiny detail, but there's a simple way to avoid it.
​

I've recorded another quick demonstration to show you exactly what to do.

​
I hope these two little tips help you get your ribbons looking lovely this Christmas! 🎀
​
And a little reminder, if you fancy learning a few more gift wrapping techniques, I've got gift wrapping classes and events coming up.
​

You can explore what's available on my Gift Wrapping Workshops & Events Hub. There might be something that suits your location and plans.

​
Until next time...when I will be sharing (hopefully) some exciting news!!
​

And I'm curious, have you been tying knots in your ribbons all these years?
​

Happy wrapping! 🎁
​

Lou
