Red and Lime Green Wrapping Theme 2008

2009 was a repeat wrapping theme with houndstooth mixed in!

2010 was another repeat year except last year I mixed in lime houndstooth and added traditional bows instead of the wild bows from the last two years. You can also see our news segment from last year in this link.

Love this tutorial! And I’m extremely jealous of your craft/wrapping room! I like to think that I’d be better at wrapping gifts if I had a well-organized space dedicated just to that!

This is fabulous–thank you! I’ve always thought these bows were hard to make, but I made one (two actually!) while I watched. And I turned them into a beautiful wreath for my office. You made bow-making easy! Thanks so much for this tutorial! :)

I love this! I used to work at The Container Store when I was in college and we learned how to make bows this exact same way. It started my addiction to pretty wrapping paper.

Very helpful video!
