Instructions

  1. Small 5202

    Select a lovely gift scarf, napkin, or other square of fabric large enough to wrap around your box

  2. Small 5203

    bring one corner up and over the box.

  3. Small 5204

    tucking that corner under will give you cleaner lines and make future steps easier - especially with slick fabric like silk. Please ignore my knee, there.

  4. Small 5205

    Tie the opposing corners in a square knot on top of the box. One corner is still left hanging. Obviously if this is for gift giving you can tidy up that top bow. Fluff it out, add some flowers or bows...

  5. Small 5206

    Pull the last tail through. It really doesn't have to be tight. You're going over the first fold and under the square knot. Now's the time to tidy up your corners if needed.

  6. Small 5207

    Done! Fluff out the last tail and smooth down your wrinkles. You can wrap almost any size box - or stack your leftovers in tupperware and make the lunchroom crowd jealous. Use a bandana and you'll have a built-in tablecloth/napkin!
