Our resident gift wrap guru Jane Means has some lovely suggestions for working creatively with ribbons.
If you are having an open day or event with cupcakes, make little ribbon flags to help brighten up the party table. Add double-sided tape to remnants of ribbon, and stick them on to toothpicks.
For making your gifts more mysterious, tie a small piece of ribbon around the handle of your gift bag – not only will it make it look extra-pretty, it will help to conceal the gift inside.
