December is such a busy period for everyone. On top of the Christmas parties, cooking Christmas dinners, sending out cards, visiting friends and family and shopping for gifts, it’s no wonder why most people don’t try to make Christmas a little bit more personal and intimate. This year, I thought I would buy the girls a little something for Xmas. I bought them each a ring and a pair of earrings and decided to wrap it up in a unique little parcel all cut, pasted and wrapped by me, myself and I. And this was the final result (see image on the left):

Side Note: On uploading it onto my computer, I decided to play around with the image and inserted a simple text “Merry Christmas” at the top left hand corner and thought it looked very much like a Christmas card! I just might have these printed out as our Christmas cards this year…(2 birds…1 stone!)

Anyway, creating these little delightful cone shaped parcels were dead easy. All the materials I needed were:

1) Metallic card

2) Organza paper (Mine from last year had little sparkle dots on them which made them look even better)

3) Shredded paper (to fill the cone up inside)

4) Ribbon (had some leftover from last year)

Instructions:

Cut out a semi-circle from the metallic card.

Wrap the semi-circle round till it formed a cone and secure with tape.

Stuff the cone with shredded paper.

Insert gifts

Cut the organza paper into a square 40×40cm in size.

Wrap the cone in the organza paper and finish off with the ribbons.

Voila!
