Tissue and Cellophane Wrapped Gift


Here’s what you’ll need:
:: gift
:: tissue paper {two large sheets}
:: roll of cellophane
:: scissors, tape
:: ribbon, stickers or gift tag for embellishing
STEP ONE: layer two pieces of tissue paper {this will make it less see-through} on top of cellophane. Cut cellophane slightly larger than tissue
 
STEP TWO: roll up gift
STEP THREE: place gift upside down on the center of the tissue/cellophane and wrap up both sides, securing with tape.
STEP FOUR: tie ends with a pretty ribbon {see my favorites sources of ribbon here}
STEP FIVE: embellish
Grab a little helper to add a name with glittery alphabet stickers {found at the craft store}.
Simple, personal, and oh so cute.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Mix the flour, baking soda and sugar in the large bowl

5. Add the rest of the flour mixture
6. Print and punch out labels from above with both hole punches
