Creative Gift Wrapping Ideas

Measuring the Aluminum Foil

We are continuing with the creative gift wrapping series: How to wrap and embellish with aluminum foil.

In this video, decorating whiz, Amy Snively, demonstrates how to carefully fold and cut foil to prepare for wrapping.

It's really a simple and easy wrapping idea; however you need be gentle so you won’t end up with a wrinkled package.

To attain a smooth piece of foil, you may notice that Amy is not using the serrated edge on the aluminum foil box but she's slicing it with scissors.

Afterwards she is folding over the two rough edges, to reinforce, and give a crisper look to that edge, and to hide the crimping that the scissors and the serrated box edge invariably leave on the foil.
