I loved decorating this Jar Candle with wide satin ribbon, gold beads and a poinsettia flower.

It’s pretty simple, but it makes a perfect centerpiece and a present.

Wrapping a ball is quite tedious.  Here is a picture of my first attempt to wrap one using just tissue and a ribbon.

Here is the makeover. I used some colored paper strips, a paper fastener, a die cut of a star and a pompom.

Using Cellophane Bags

Cellophane bags are a lot cheaper than gift bags.  They’re also perfect for those hard to wrap little presents as well as baked goods.  As I started filling my cello bags, I realized how those twist ties (even though practical)  are making my present look tacky.  So, I decided to seal them this way instead.

Just fold over the top. Fold over a label on top, and staple.

It’s not too hard to make these, and it makes the present look more presentable. =)~kristine munda
