Lush have inspired us we’re their initiative of wrapping gifts in a beautiful little foulard. This idea of theirs is based on an ancient Japanese Tradition called furoshiki. This environmental friendly way of wrapping is quirky and is a gift that keeps on giving. Picture courtesy of Lush
Now for the art of tying a bow, here are a few step by step tutorials which we have tried and can say that are totally doable (promise).
The Classic Bow
A beautiful and perfect big bow is so satysfying on a present, it gives it a little bit of luxury, even if what’s inside cost less than a tenner.
The Puffy Bow
This bow is a little more tricky, but the good news is, even if you get it a little wrong it still looks?good.
