From Booklist Gift wrapping, according to former textile designer Birkett, is a feat to be accomplished and then admired. Her instructions include those both nimble and not and range from covering a basic box to fashioning crackers for all occasions. There is something for everyone in these 150-plus different projects. Each runs about a page or two with minimal directions, large color photographs, and occasional tips on best/alternate methods. Some of the more unusual ideas: a rose-embellished bow, an origami box, a paper fan bow, and woven paper baskets, among others. At the end are the basics: materials, tools, and the five fundamental techniques (measuring, transferring, scoring, folding, and cutting). This handy how-to will leave gift givers rapt with pleasure.

Fantastic Tips on Gift Wrapping Techniques and Ideas By iiiireader This review is for the newly updated 2015 version of this book.After wrapping Christmas presents for three children for many years, I had lost my technique for nicely wrapped presents and instead had learned a quick dash assembly line kind of wrapping. Now that I have more time, I wanted to re-learn my old skills and so I was happy to try this book out. Turns out, I not only picked up my old skills but learned a few new techniques as well.In addition to wrapping instructions, the book tells you how to make various boxes, bags, and other ways to “wrap” your present to get a unique presentation. It is giving me fantastic ideas of how to recycle a lot of things that I have around the house and make them beautiful and useful again.I received a digital ARC copy of this book from the publisher, Dover Publications , via Netgalley.

Would make a good gift for a beginner By Florida Kayaker This book has step by step instructions on how to wrap a gift and have it perfectly presentable. It includes ways to make fancy bows and even a section on making your own gift tags. There are instructions on lining lightweight paper before you wrap, aligning edges etc.I did find that most of the basic stuff was pretty average and included things that I already knew how to do. My husband however, could really benefit from this book! That leads me to believe it is really a beginners book and that I am ready for a more advanced version.I think it would make a nice gift for someone that has not had much experience with gift wrapping.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Luxury reference book By Amazon Customer INITIAL THOUGHTSSo like most people (if they're being 100% honest) I believe we can all use a little help with how to wrap gifts, especially if they are an awkward size, or shape! So I was looking forward to reading this one. I did actually read it when I was about half way through my Christmas Gift wrapping, I just didn't have time to write the review until now.MY REVIEWI received a free e-copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. The cover features some brightly, beautifully wrapped gifts. . . just waiting to be handed out to the recipients! So I was eager to learn how I could make my gifts look as good as the ones on the cover.So would the cover make me pick this book up from the shelf? Yes, it would, the gifts on the cover are rather impressively wrapped.There are quite a few pictures within the book, as well as small boxes with extra tips within them. There are also some "How To Do" photographs that walk you through the whole process step by step.I love an attractively wrapped gift with perhaps a striking bow or other ornamentation on it too. I readily admit to getting all tangled and usually stuck up with the tape when I am wrapping and as for putting ribbons and fancy bows on, I've normally had enough of the whole wrapping process by the time the last piece of tape has finally been wrestled into place!I found the book quite inspirational and I enjoyed the step by step photographs showing how to do things. Maybe it's because I was reviewing an e-copy but I feel I must say I was disappointed by how the book appeared on my tablet and kindle. Having pointed that out I think having the paperback would obviously solve this problem! I think it is a book you would probably purchase for yourself though I'm not sure I would pay very expensive for such a book myself, though I think if you want really prettily wrapped gifts you would probably find the book a useful book to keep going back to, especially for a gift that was an awkward shape!Did I enjoy the book? It was informative, just not as much as I had hoped, and in my opinion the formatting of the e-copy seriously let the book down and spoilt the experience for me.Would I recommend the book? I would yes, but to be bought as a physical book!FINAL THOUGHTSThis book would be a bit of a luxury purchase for me, though it would sit on my book shelves and probably be referred to regularly.Includes how to make pretty bows from ribbons or paper. Plenty of step by step pics to follow, good job as very little text descriptions. Some useful parts in Tips sections. Sadly format was pretty poor as I attempted to read via kindle app on my tablet. This would probably work much better as a glossy paperback!
