Instructions

Tip: When pressing & ironing metallic and glitter fabrics, always use a pressing cloth to avoid the melting of the fabric and damage to your iron plate.

Single Sided Wrap

Sew a narrow double hem around all edges of the fabric square by pressing under 5mm, then another 5mm and top stitching in place.

Single Sided Wrap with RicRac Trimmed Tie

After hemming the wrap, cut 2x 50cm lengths of ric rac trim. Pin each length of trim around two opposite corners on the right side of the wrap. Top stitch trim in place over hem stitching.

How to wrap your gift with a Fabric wrap:

Lay your wrap out diagonally on a flat surface wrong side facing up. Place the gift into the middle of the wrap, squarely to you.

Fold up the bottom corner of the wrap over the gift, either tucking the extra corner of the wrap under the gift or folding it under itself and having the folded edge aligned with the edge of the gift. Repeat by folding over the opposite top corner of the wrap.

Fold in the two side corners to narrow and neaten. Bring these two corners together up over the top of the gift and tie tightly in a square knot.
