Packaging Ideas

April 5, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 8 Comments

We love Easter – it is all about celebrating with family, and we keep it very simple, with usually just a small gift of Easter chocolates or home baked gifts from the kitchen. It is the thought that counts – but I love to present gifts attractively.

Here is a round-up of some of our gift packaging ideas that would work well for Easter. Gather up your Easter or Pastel coloured fabrics and papers, and click on the label below each photo to take you to the tutorial or project instructions.

    Beautiful packaging and gift wrapping ideas! I love each and every one of them. You’re so good at these! I wish I had more gifts to give so I could use all of these. I especially love to make those gathered round baskets to hold office supplies on my desk. Thanks for sharing your fabulous ideas, as always!

Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouc Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouch today — a sweet little project that’s as practical as it is pretty. I stitched this one in the blue and gold colourway of the Tilda Songbird collection and love how the soft watercolour florals shine in a small make. The pouch features cleverly shaped panels (with no boxed corners), stands tall when in use, and folds completely flat for storage. It’s also reversible, which makes it such a fun and versatile sew.   These little pouches are perfect for organising your sewing room, gifting to a friend, or popping into a project bag.The pattern includes three sizes, and you can find it in both my Pattern Store and Etsy shop. Comment HANDY and I’ll send the link straight to your inbox.A big thank you to @tilda_australia for gifting the beautiful fabric.#tildasongbird #drawstringbagpattern #aspoonfulofsugardesigns #tildafabrics #sewingproject
