[...] 4. Ribbon, raffia, twine, and string are all your friends. (Even just a little bit of them.) The only thing better than a crisply wrapped package is one with twine wrapped around it or a bow tied on top. Why? I don’t know why it makes such a difference; it just does. It doesn’t have to be fancy, and it doesn’t have to end in a traditional bow, but if you have any sort of string or ribbon around: put it on that gift. (And if you would like help learning how to tie a traditional bow, check out this bow-tying tutorial from Design Mom.) [...]

I spent shifts wrapping gifts at the university bookstore when I was in college. Good times!

As for more video, I just made a really cute on (at least I hope it’s cute!) featuring last-minute hostess gifts. It should be ready soon — I’m guessing next week.

Thank you for liking my voice! I’m still so new to video that it sounds strange to me to hear it. : )

Oh. That’s so true! A video would be great to demonstrate something like this. Though, I promise, I tried Lindsey’s instructions with a ribbon in front of me and they made sense. Hah!

I need a video too! Although maybe if I had a box and ribbons with me right now I might be able to figure it out.

This was great. My mom worked nights in the gift wrap department at our local dept. store. She taught me how to do all kinds of bows. I loved watching her wrap for the holidays. This reminded me of those memories.

Is there a protocol for snipping the ends? I’ve seen some people who like to cut them off completely, so that only the bow is left. I prefer mine long and trailing. Either way it seems I’m doing it wrong. Is there a most desirable end-to-loop ratio?

(p.s. I totally second the request for a video. Videos are fun.)

You need to do a video on this, and here’s why…
1. I can’t figure out what you’re trying to say.
2. Your Halloween/movie night videos were superbly entertaining.
3. I like your voice. Hope this one isn’t creepy.
