Holiday Gift Wrapping Trends 2009…elegant…Poetic Purple…

With Christmas around the corner many of us are already getting our gifts list organized. And with the gifts comes the gift wrapping theme, my most favorite part of the gift giving process! There are many options this year and purple has been so far the predominant colour in the runways, paper, fabrics and decor. This is a very elegant wrap suitable for a fabulous present! I used Japanese handmade paper, silver paper, organza, satin and wired ribbons.

In order to achieve this glamorous look I first wrapped the present in silver paper to cover the package. And then wrapped it with Japanese handmade paper. This is a translucent and textured handmade paper that if used alone will lose all fine detail. For the elegant bow and layered ribbon details I used organza, satin and wired ribbon. I will be showing you a few more gift wrap styles in the next few days.
