Sparkly initials
You will need: Black paper, double-sided
You will need: Glitter card, ruler,
tape, chalk pen, red ribbon, scissors, glue stick
pen, scissors, hole punch, ribbon
1 Wrap your gift in black paper, using double-sided tape for really neat ends. 2 Using the chalk pen, draw your design on the front of the gift, leaving space to tie ribbon around the present or glue on a bow. Try sketching festive wreaths, holly leaves, tree baubles or stacks of presents. 3 Cut out lengths of ribbon, either long enough to wrap around the gifts or to create bows, and secure to the presents.
1 Mark out the letters you want to cut out on the back side of the glitter card. For non-symmetrical letters, mark them out in reverse so that they appear the right way round on the glittery side. 2 Using scissors, cut out the letters neatly. You can use a scalpel for a super-neat finish. 3 Using a hole punch, make a hole near the top of the letter and thread through a piece of ribbon. Either tape the ribbon to the gift or make sure it is long enough to tie around the gift, and secure with a bow.
TOP TIP Not confident in your drawing skills? Keep it simple and write the name of the recipient in your best handwriting. If you’re feeling more ambitious, there are plenty of helpful drawing tutorials on YouTube.
TOP TIP Choose a thin ribbon so it’s easier to thread it through the hole.
