Gift Wrapping Ideas – Tissue Paper Pom-Poms

Hello, my friends! I have found new idea for decoration your gift – Pom-Poms. It also can be used as decoration at the party.

OK, let’s start.

     Tools and materials:

• Tissue paper in desired colors (8 sheets per pom-pom)
• 24-gauge white cloth-covered floral wire
• Scissors

• Monofilament (if you plan to fix it on the ceiling)

 

1. Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inch-wide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.

2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.

3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.

4. Bend wire into a loop to fit around napkin, and twist end around loop to secure.

So long, see you soon.

Gift Wrapping Ideas – Handmade cherry stone pillow

Make nice gift by own hands. A unique Cherry Stone Pillow. It is good for… hmm. Lots of things… from just warming the bed to treating sports injuries…its used as a pre heater prior to massage and as an excellent cuddly comforter on cold and lonely nights…

Take linen fabric and about 2 lbs of cherry stone.

Cut and sew approx. 9″ square pillow. Fill it with crerry stone.

And sew up fourth side of cherry stone pillow. Your pillow ready!

How do you heat it?

Just put the pillow in a heatproof dish and place it in a conventional oven for 15 minutes at 150 C or just three minutes in a microwave gives a long lasting penetrating heat that quickly eases any point of discomfort – neck tension, backache, headache, period pains – it’ s just like a hot water bottle but without the dangers of boiling water, which makes it ideal both for children and the elderly…

Can you Freeze it?

YES..just wrap the pillow in a plastic bag to keep it dry and place it in the freezer to turn it into a perfect cold compress for sports injuries, bumps, sprains and puffy eyes.

Care instructions

Spritz the pillow with water from time to time to ensure it doesn’t get too dry, it gives out more heat when it’s slightly damp and the cherry stones won’t crack up. Don’t overheat it or it will burn just like anything else that you put into a microwave oven. For safety sake to ensure it doesn’t get overheated, always allow it to return to room temperature before reheating for 3 minutes.

Gift Wrapping Ideas - Cute little gift bags.

 It’s amazing gift wrapping idea. Make these little gift bags out of newspaper. Plus, it’s a great way to recycle! Pick a good section of your paper (the comics are always fun), or use a foreign language paper for added interest, or you can use a city map. If you’re wrapping a small housewarming gift, it would be fun to use the real estate section of the paper. Here are a couple of examples I made:

And here is how they’re made.
Supplies needed:

 1. PVA glue.
 2. Newspaper. For the example bags above, I used a Japanese paper that measured (when folded) 11 1/2″ wide and 15″ tall, and the comics of my regular paper, which were folded and cut down to 11″ by 11″.
 3. Grommet kit.
 4. Ribbon or string.
