It was Miss Mac's 18th Birthday this weekend - I was excited to shop for her giftie - but what to get an 18 year old these days - they have everything. We settled on a lovely silver necklace that had three tiny charms - a compass (to guide thee), a heart (to remind the wearer you love them) and a tiny little rectangle charm that says "to thine own self be true". We think this is a wonderful quote to live your life by and so we were thrilled to find something that had this line on it. I forgot to buy wrapping paper and only had tissue - I thought this turned out nice AND think I will go this route again.....
Take a 5 layers of tissue (at least 5 times larger than the package)
Fold the tissue over like you are making a fan
Smooth out the tissue layers and place your box in the center
Roll the tissue around the box
Pull the excess up around the top
Tie tightly with a ribbon
Carefully pull out each sheet to make petals...bobs your uncle, pretty as a picture gifty.
