shaped

like a dog bone and one

shaped

like a gingerbread house. these bags are really fun. I recommend using craft paper for this project. Okay, do you have craft paper? These are really fun patterns. I actually bought them on eBay and you cut out two of the same shapes, so my trick for this is when you're making your shape, cut one out and then you're going to place it face up on the other one that you're going to trace and that one will be face down so that when you cuts line up.
Yeah, don't do it that way unless you're perfect, they're not, they're not, they're not going to be right, and make sure your shape is a lot bigger than what you want to put in everything you know. when I draw my shapes, I actually have the element there just to make sure, right when I'm starting, yeah, and then to make it work, all you need is double-sided tape and you just want to start in a couple different sections. much better than the stapler I was going to use, you want to do that side and then just line it up nice and smooth it into place right near the top and then you'll slide the item in, okay, and then you're.
I'm going to finish sealing it completely with your double-sided tape and you're done. I'm not going to do the rest, yeah, cylinder, these are tricky, there's a lot of freebies that come in the shape, but look what you can do, so it's like this. simple to make the trick is I started one here the trick is cutting a piece of paper yeah so I'll show you here and this box isn't that great on the inside but that's why I like to reuse it. and wrap again, you want the paper to come up a little more than halfway, a little more than the center, okay, okay, I'm going to start and you want to finish, okay, I'm going to do it the other way around, so this will be interesting .
Okay, so you can see, start with the bottom layer, not the top. Yes, you will place it and then stick your fingers in there. This is much easier when you face it, you won't lie to yourself. You're just going to bury it carefully, oh, you're going to like fail, almost yeah, people fold it like Fanning, it actually looks perfect, I'll make it start a little bit and then I'll move it there, come on, okay, so I'll just you sew one. inward and you just smooth it out as you go, a good novice maybe a beginner nails it a little bit as a beginner and you just work all the way around and then the center may not be in the center in the center yes more beautiful and it's because that they created pretty ribbons and bows, yes, come on, please, there you have it, I think keep finishing that, okay, and at the end you put a big fat bow to cover them all, thank you.
Okay, so is there anything else you want to show us? Can we talk about that? Yes, it sure is a puppy, obviously, right. No, sometimes it's okay for a gift to be obvious, but yes, I want to wrap it. It's funny when someone comes. Downstairs there may not be anything on a truck, they know what they are getting, but they still appreciate the effort. I used a stapler for this one. Oh, you're just a staple that some grads wore with washi tape and voila, it looks amazing. I just want to see what you would do with this, my friend, so this is your gift from me, yes, and you're wrapping it because that's the kind of friend I am, but you're so generous, how would you wrap it?
This is your challenge, okay, this is my challenge, yes, what I would do is take my paper, it stays like this, honestly, I would take tissue paper, but to make it more interesting, I mean while I'm doing this, actually if the The police papers and the handkerchief are all from Hallmark, oh, very fun holiday patterns, okay, and I wish, oh, this is beautiful, wrap it with this, oh, listen, I thought you were going to challenge me to something, oh, and I can't prepare my friend's launch. a little tassel there I'll keep it in place let's say actually Rios can do this with whatever gift there is, he can do the little thing he knows when he calls that big meeting and everyone can do that, yeah that looks really nice .
