By Photobox on 9 May 2017
Have you thought about filling it with chocolates as well? (Obviously, you get to eat the overspill.) But wait, how on earth do you gift wrap a mug? Let’s have a look…
To wrap one standard-sized simple mug you’ll need
- 1 x large sheet of cellophane (from any good craft shop)
- 2 x large sheets of coloured tissue paper
- 1 x gift tag (or just make a hole in a piece of card)
- 1-2 long lengths of colourful ribbon
- Scissors
How to gift wrap your mug
Step 1: cut your ribbon
Guestimate the amount you’ll need- depends on whether you want to go big or small. Use two different colours like we did, if you want.
Step 2: lay out the wrapping
Cellophane first with the tissue paper on top. Then place your mug in the middle.
Step 3: get wrapping
Bring the corners of the tissue paper up, over the mug. Repeat with the cellophane.
Step 4: tie your ribbon
Neatly tie a bow around the top of your wrapped mug.
Step 5: write your gift tag
Say whatever you like, from a simple Happy Birthday or ‘Can’t wait to see you’, to explain why you picked that photo. Tie the tag onto your ribbon and you’re done. Mug gift wrapping – made easy!
You’ve made the gift-wrap bold and colourful, ensure the gift inside compliments the wrapping. Mugs can be personalised with bright images and themes.
