CHRISTMAS GIFT WRAPPINGS
Wrapping gifts with fabric pictures can be used not only for the holidays,
but for gifts at any time of the year. All that it entails is to find a pretty
colored box that the fabric picture can be glued directly on to or to wrap the
box with any type of fabric as you would wrap it with paper.
Select a picture whether it be a scene from nature, from the home or
a
figure. Sketch a drawing of your picture and cut the shapes for pattern pieces.
No sewing is necessary nor is leaving seam allowances in cutting. If possible,
however, a pinking sheer scissors should be used to cut the shapes. This will
eliminate any fraying of fabric edges. Use bright and happy fabrics for your
picture. Felt scraps adapt very well for this type of work. To give your fabric
picture a really personal touch, use old buttons, pieces of costume jewelry or
small toys to finish off your creation.
For the holidays, Christmas trees, such as the pattern given here, angels,
Santa Claus, toy bags, snow village scenes or a big old fashioned house are
among ideas that can be used. But best of all, let your imagination go and
have fun !
CHRISTMAS TREE, OH CHRISTMAS TREE PATTERN
1. Wrap box in fabric as you would paper
wrapping or use a pretty box.
2. Cut out a Christmas tree to the dimen-
sions of the box you will be using. Green
felt would be ideal if you happen to have
felt scraps.
3. For the base of the tree use a piece of
brown felt or a piece of ribbon if handy.
4. Cut a piece of ribbon or rick rack the
width of the box and use it along the base
of the tree.
5. These pieces may now be glued beginning
with the base. Now place the tree slightly
over the top of the base and glue the ribbon
to the base of the tree along the width of the
box.
6. Measure a piece of rick rack the length
it would take to form an arch from the top
of the ribbon used along the base, going up
the side of the box, arching over the top
and down the other side to the ribbon. Cut
and glue it into place.
7. Trim the tree with sequins, rhinestones,
buttons or whatever you have in mind to
make your tree special.
8. At the base of the tree, you could create
packages by cutting small pieces of fabric
into the desired size.
