TGIF: It's a Wrap!


Today we'll be learning to wrap 2 books in a chic carry-on style. Shown here is our Give Joy wrap, but any square-ish fabric will work too.

1. Place fabric wrap face-down. Lay the 2 books in the middle.

2. Turn books outward. Repeat.

3. Take the ends of the wrap and tuck them inside each book.

4. Lift the books and fold inward until they are next to each other again.

4. Take the opposite ends of the fabric and bring them towards each other. Pull across opposite ends.

5. Still holding the 2 ends, flip the whole thing over. Tie a knot with the ends.

6. Voila! a tote to tote your books!

TGIF and happy wrapping, folks...

TGIF: It's a Wrap!

Since Easter will be here in no time, we thought it would be appropriate to have a bunny-style wrapping tutorial today!


Today we're using our Give Cheer fabric wrap. This tutorial is great for wrapping round objects.
1. Place fabric wrap face-down and put object in the middle.

2. Take opposite corners towards each other and bunch together.

3. Tie a knot and fluff to form bunny ears.

4. Take the remaining opposite corners and wrap around the bunny ears.
5. Tie a knot on the back.

This is what it looks like at the back.

And completed front view.... voila!

Happy wrapping, folks!

TGIF: It's a Wrap!

Today we'll be wrapping a wine bottle in kimono style. A nice little complement to last week's napkin tutorial for your dinner party...
We're using our grey "Give Cheer" wrap but you can of course use any fabric you like.

1. Place fabric wrap face-down. Fold the top side towards you and fold again to create a pleat.

2. Bring pleated side up towards bottle and wrap both sides across each other.

3. Wrap a rubberband around the bottle neck to secure the wrap.
4. Take the side closest to you and fold twice to create a pleat.

5. Bring the side up towards bottle and secure with a knot on the back.

6. Fluff the ends to show the "Give Cheer" message. Voila!

TGIF and happy wrapping!

TGIF: It's a Wrap!

Today's wrap tutorial is posted on 100 layer cake, where I was guest-blogging this week. (Thanks 100 layer cake ladies!!) It's a kimono-style napkin fold, and so versatile for dinner parties and events. Here we go...


We're using our mustard "Give Luck" wrap but you can of course use any napkin / fabric you like.

1. Place fabric wrap face-down. Fold the top side towards you and fold again to create a pleat.
2. Take one corner and fold towards the middle.
3. Repeat on other side to form the kimono collar.
4. Take the side closest to you and fold towards the kimono collar and make a pleat.

5. Turn the whole thing over.
6. Take one end and fold in.

7. Repeat on other side. You should have a neat rectangular shape now. Turn it over….
8. … voila!

Have a lovely weekend! Happy wrapping!

TGIF: It's a wrap!

Happy friday lovelies! Today we're using our fabric wrap to create a little shopping bag.

This tutorial was inspired by a sweet bride (Kendall, that would be you!) who wanted to use our wraps as welcome bags for her guests. What a wonderful gesture to give luck and joy to your wedding guests!

Luckily our "Give Joy" wrap is in Kendall's yellow and gray palette.
Place wrap face-up on your work surface.

Fold into a triangle.

Tie a knot on one side.



Repeat on the opposite side.

Turn the wrap inside out from the open end.


Tie a third knot to create handles.

Voila! A handy shopping bag...

TGIF: It's a wrap!

Just in time for some valentine wine and dine, today we're using our fabric wrap to gift TWO bottles of wine!

We chose the blue "Give Luck" from our collection for this feature.

Lay the wrap face down.
Tip: The two corners with the "give luck" message should be on either side of you.
Place the two wine bottles in the middle of the wrap.

Lay bottles flat with bottoms facing each other.

Start rolling...

... and rolling till you reach the end of the wrap.

Gather the ends and bring bottles upright.

Tie a knot and spread the ends so the "Give Luck" message is visible.

Voila! Happy Valentine folks... tis the day to get tipsy...

TGIF: It's a wrap!

Today's tutorial shows how to use our reusable fabric wrap to gift some books with a bit of flourish: a rose knot.

We chose the blue "Give Love" from our collection for this feature.

Lay the wrap face down. Place books in the middle of the fabric wrap.

Take the side closest to you and tuck it around the books.

Take the opposite end and bring over, neatly folding in the edge.

Gather one side and pull towards the middle of the box.

Repeat on other side and tie a knot.

Pull one knot end up and wrap the other around it. Tuck the end of the tip into itself.

Repeat with the other knot end.

Voila!
