Gifting blankets to loved ones is an excellent way of showing them just how much you care, yet finding an appropriate way can sometimes prove challenging.
There are various techniques for gift wrapping blankets that will ensure they look amazing, from choosing fabric to folding over any excess material. This article will offer expert guidance.
Choose the Right Fabric
One of the key aspects of gift wrapping a blanket is selecting fabric that complements its color and design, to protect and present to a loved one in style. Ribbon that matches up perfectly will also add an elegant finishing touch.
One great way to gift wrap a blanket is by placing it in a basket. This allows you to include any matching pillow cases or sheets as part of the gift, showing your recipient just how much you care. Additionally, creating this special present shows them just how much love there is between the recipient and yourself!
Finalize your gift by wrapping the blanket in a large gift bag to protect it from creases or dings and make storage simpler. Additionally, the bag can hold accessories such as ribbon and cards with personalized messages.
If you’re in a pinch and don’t have the necessary boxes to package a blanket quickly and elegantly, try folding it tightly into a square instead. It is fast and efficient – great if giving out as birthday or anniversary presents.
Once you have your fabric selected, cut to size and lay it flat on a working surface. Next, lay your blanket atop and secure it with tape. Fold over any extra material so as to prevent tearing or ripping during transit and fold inward and secure with tape any extra papers or cardboard sides as you go along – don’t forget a bow and personalized message tag too – making the final result something beautiful to give to someone special and appreciated!
Cut It to Size
When giving the gift of blanket, wrapping it to protect it from creasing or nicking is crucial. Although wrapping one can be challenging, with the proper supplies and careful folding you can create an eye-catching presentation your recipient will surely love.
Your blanket will fit nicely inside of a box big enough to contain it, along with plain white or butcher paper and various art supplies to decorate it as you please – using these art materials allows you to personalize and customize this gift while showing someone that they matter! It’s also an amazing way of showing that someone cares!
Choose a piece of paper that complements the colors and styles of the blanket you are wrapping. Also select material that won’t tear easily. Once you have found an ideal paper material for wrapping blankets, lay it flat on your work surface and position the blanket within its center. Fold back the edges of paper around itself as needed using tape or ribbon if necessary to give a finished appearance and ensure safe transport of your cargo.
Once your blanket has been wrapped, add an attractive gift tag or bow to complete its presentation. A thoughtful tag shows that someone was thinking about them while also providing an opportunity for personalization – you could also include a message if desired for extra special touches!
Wrapping a blanket in a basket is another clever and eye-catching way of giving it. Perfect for special events like baby showers, this gift makes an impressionful statement about thoughtfulness while leaving an imprinted memento of your thoughtfulness as part of its keepsake value for recipients.
Use Appropriate Accessories
Add an elegant touch to your blanket wrapping by embellishing with attractive ribbons and gift tags. They can match the color of the blanket, or be customized according to its purpose – for instance, for Christmas you could make a festive bow and attach it to a card reading “From all of us”.
Decorating gift wrap can be an excellent way to show your creative side. If you’re giving a blanket as an anniversary or holiday present, butcher paper with stamps and prints makes an eye-catching presentation. Or alternatively you could wrap the blanket in a box which is large enough for it and use tape or glue to secure it securely.
Another approach for wrapping blankets is rolling it up and tying it with ribbon. While this method may work, it eliminates the element of surprise for your recipient and may make him or her less excited about receiving the gift. For an elegant presentation, fold a piece of ribbon or lace loosely across the top of the blanket before using a paper towel to wrap its remainder.
Add tinsel for an eye-catching finishing touch in your wrapping! Tinsel can easily transform any gift, such as blankets. Just bunch a length into a pom-pom and attach it directly onto the blanket or ribbon – or glue it directly on top!
If you want to give someone special an unforgettable present, present it in a basket. Simply select any basket large enough to comfortably house your blanket before folding and placing neatly within. Additionally, consider including other gifts related to its theme (for instance if giving to an expectant mother it may include baby towels, wash clothes and shampoo).
Fold Over Any Excess Material
Each blanket gift wrapping style offers its own special aesthetic. When wrapping an individual blanket for someone special or several blankets for Christmas, one way to ensure they look their best is folding over any excess fabric; this will protect it from creasing during transport while adding an element of elegance and sophistication to the gift wrap design.
As another efficient way of gift wrapping blankets, placing it in a large gift bag is an economical and time-saving method of wrapping a blanket gift. Ideal for those without much material available or who don’t have much spare time on hand; plus it makes small presents much simpler to handle!
Once your blanket is inside the gift bag, tie it closed with ribbon or twine to seal in its place. For an added festive touch if wrapping for Christmas, tuck some decorative items inside like an attractive red and gold bow and matching ribbons as an added festive touch.
To create a more elegant appearance, try wrapping your blanket in tinsel. To do so, cut two long strips of wrapping paper that measure at least eight inches longer on either side than your blanket and lay one of these down flat on your work surface; fold over and tuck under any excess pieces carefully using tape.
As an extra special touch, place a card with an amusing or thoughtful note inside their folded blanket – this will show them just how much you care and make their gift truly unforgettable.
