DIY: Theme Your Gift Wrap

Theme Your Gift Wrap

Whether it’s a party favor or something under the tree, play up your gift by making it unique on the outside! Use festive addons that correlate with what’s inside.

What do we love more than anything? A thoughtful gift!

Thoughtfulness doesn’t mean pricey, or homemade. It means there’s something special about it that makes it stand out from the rest — for example: this scented bar of soap, wrapped up with a tree on top! For a thoughtful party favor, hostess gift, stocking stuffer or little something (perfectly fitting for all season long), use a bar of soap that smells of pine (who doesn’t love the smell of nature?!) and wrap it up with pretty paper and a pine tree. The pine tree acts as a little hint for what’s inside, and looks adorable too!

SUPPLIES

• A fresh, dry bar of pine soap (square or rectangle shapes work best)

• Wrapping paper of your choice (we suggest something a little more simple, not too festive).

• Red twine (or other color of your choice)

• Scotch tape

• Mini pine trees

• Scissors

HOW TO MAKE IT

1. To start, grab a dry bar of soap and a roll of wrapping paper.

2. Place the bar of soap on a section of the wrapping paper and cut wrapping paper to desired size (as you normally would when gift wrapping).

3. Wrap soap similar to how you would a very small gift box and apply tape as needed to secure ends.

4. Cut enough twine to fit around the soap, plus enough to tie a knot (it’s best to overestimate here as you can always trim it down later).

5. Place the mini tree on top then tie the soap and tree together and secure with a knot.

6. Gift away!
