Are you a good gift wrapper?

I wish I could say that I was. I am not. 

 

I guess I would say I am fair at it, but mine never seem to reach the levels people would oh and aw about.

 

I think they made gift bags for people  like me

I used to wrap beautiful packages.  Not any more.  Mostly gift bags these days.  If a gift bag won't work, then I do try to use really nice wrapping paper.

No, not at all.  My husband and older sister are experts.

 

Gift bags were invented just for me.

Re: Are you a good gift wrapper?

Yes; I love to make packages look beautiful.  It's much more fun to open the beauties!

 

I only use gift bags for really large, oddly shaped items.  It's much more exciting to unwrap a gift than to pull one out of a bag.

Yes!  I used to work in the china department of a major dept. store that provided free gift wrapping ...I loved to make bows.....a lot of fun!

No, I'm really not.  DH is very much the artist in many ways, oil paintings, sketches, photography, and wrapping presents.

 

He used to do it all except his own and they were wonderful, but it took so long and we had so many.  Now I buy beautiful bags and tissues and he arranges those, lol.

I have an excellent  wrapper, HUBBY. As long as he can sit in front of the tv he'll do anything. Even fold clothes.

Re: Are you a good gift wrapper?

I'm too disorganized.  The scissors, pen, tags, tape etc. are lost after one package.  

 

I don't understand it because when I sit at my sewing machine everything gets put back in a certain place on my work table and I could practically reach for it blindfolded.
