White Box Wrap

White boxes quickly change from plain containers into a beautiful gift for any occasion, especially for anniversaries and special events.

But that same white box is amazingly transformed when you enclose it in a beautiful printed cellophane.

See the box on the left side of the picture? It has a lid that folds down into the main box where the gift is added. Such gifts include:

Picture frames Musical jewelry boxes Earrings, bracelets Cosmetics Miniature book Soaps and lotions Candles Crystal Chocolates Small baby items

Line the inside box with tissue paper so that it cushions the included gift, or wrap the gift with tissue paper before you insert it in the box.

Once the lid is closed, your wrapping ideas come to life. Start by cutting a piece of printed cellophane, about 20 inches by 20 inches. Lay the cut cellophane flat on the table.

Place the box in the center of the cellophane. Then bring each corner of the cellophane around and above the box, cinching all sides tightly around the box as you grip the cello directly above the box.

Take a twist tie and tighten it around the cellophane as you remove your hand from its grip. Now tie your bow above the cellophane-sealed box and remove the twist tie, which is no longer needed because the bow is in place.

Violà! The plain, white box is transformed into a beautiful gift. Be sure to wrap the box in cellophane printed with a design that matches the occasion. You'll find a vast selection is specialty stores.
