Simple DIY :: Twine Pansy
In case you missed it over at The Twinery Blog, here's a quick and easy way to spruce up those packages.
So cute & so simple!
Nicole from The Twinery was sweet enough to contact me for a tutorial and I was more than happy to oblige! How could I NOT after receiving this boxful of goodies! Now THAT'S one generous gal! Thanks again, Nicole!!!!
So, here's the "HOW-TO"...
Step 1: Choose your favorite Twinery shade...our NEW favorite is their Honeydew!!!
Be sure to cut a large enough piece of twine - I find if you wrap the twine around the item at least 4 times, that's usually plenty.
Step 2: Start as if you were wrapping a gift, wrapping the twine around the middle, then crossing it on the back, continuing around the opposite sides to meet in the front again.
Step 3: When meeting the two ends in the front, tuck them under the twine that lays vertically across the middle...see photo.
Step 4: Tie a simple "half" square knot & pull tight.
Step 5: Tie a standard bow pulling tight to secure loops.
Step 6: Repeat Step 5 two more times but this time be careful not to pull too tightly (which will unravel the previous bows).
Step 7: Trim ends and VOILA, there you have it. A sweet little package that's Pretty as a Pansy!
Simple as that!

Be sure to stop by and say HI to Nicole too while you're at it:
too sweet!
