Gift Boxes - Hardcover

Although the projects shown in this slim volume are meant as fancy gift packaging, many are elegant or unusual enough to merit a place on a display shelf or to be adapted for holding small items on a desk or dressing table. Utilizing gift wrap, decorative papers, and card stock, packagings are cleverly pleated, scored, folded, and tied in an array of shapes and silhouettes. Each package is explained in a series of line- drawn diagrams and written steps, and the finished products are all shown in color photos. Some are especially useful for hard-to-wrap items such as wine bottles or small or awkwardly shaped objects that don't fit into ordinary boxes.
