Advaark 2020 Day 18: That’s a wrap!

Matilda has decided to do some fancy present wrapping today. She’s started with plain silvery paper, because you need an understated base. Then she adds a single piece of fancy fabric ribbon.

Matilda has wrapped a single piece of wide gold and coloured ribbon lengthways around the box.

Now, Maybe some gold cord to create the classic parcel look.

And a parcel isn’t a parcel without a fancy bow on it!

And it wouldn’t be a Christmas parcel without some curly ribbon!

Hmm. Still needs something else. Time to get the hot glue gun out, and tack on some chocolate coins!

Blimey Matilda!, says Dim. Yes, says Matilda, I’m not sure it’s quite festive enough yet! Dim says he’s sure it is, and ooh, are those chocolate coins?
