honey wrap : : security envelope

I taped together several sheets of security envelope paper together to wrap this gift.

I stamped the paper with small squares AND pleated the paper before wrapping.

I used Scotch® bee washi tape (which I was DELIGHTED to discover!!)

For ribbon I used black paper twine tied in a tenderloin tying pattern:

Below, some of the security envelope papers I’ve collected:

For the Honey Wrap above I spliced several pieces together.

The book, How to Wrap Five Eggs,  is a  BEAUTIFUL photographic book full of pictures of artisanal Japanese package wrapping.  It’s just packed with fabulous wrapping ideas and wonderful creative twine tying.
