TGIF: It's a Wrap!


Today we'll be using our "Give Luck" wrap to demonstrate a technique for gifting a long rectangular box.
1. Lay wrap face-down and place the box off center, and with its length parallel to you.

2. Start rolling box away from you. Take the longer end.

3. Start twisting till you reach about 4 inches from the end.

4. Fold over to opposite end and tie a knot.

5. Fluff ends so the "Give Luck" message shows. Voila!

Happy friday and happy wrapping, folks!

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!

Here's how to use our reusable fabric wrap to gift a bottle of wine. (or any bottle-shaped gift for that matter.)

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 wine bottle at the corner closest to you.

Start rolling the wine bottle away from yourself.

Stand the bottle upright.

Take both corners and tie a knot near the top. Spread the knot ends so the "Give Luck" message shows through.

voila! Happy wrapping...

TGIF: It's a wrap!

Since folks have been asking us for different techniques on wrapping with our reusable fabric wraps, we thought we'd start a new series called "TGIF: It's a wrap!". And yes, you got it, we'll feature a wrapping technique every Friday...

We'll start with an easy one: wrapping a simple box.

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

Lay the wrap face down and place the box in the middle.

Take the side with the tag and tuck it around the box.

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.

Tie a knot.
Spread the knot ends so the "Give Luck" message shows through. Voila!
