Favourite way to decorate a gift, and why

Happy New Year and welcome back to 

As You Like It Challenge

Our fortnightly challenge is a home for you to create something 

which gives you a warm "inner glow" of pride, without lots of entry rules.

Usually we provide options for you to choose from. 

You just need to select and use your favourite option in order to join in. 

For a chance to win our prize or top-3 spot, 

you need to tell us why you've made your choice.

That way our team and readers can appreciate why it's your favourite.

eg, if the theme is 'favourite animal' and you decide on 'bunny', tell us why.
eg, you love Thumper, the rabbit from Bambi !

So get crafting and remember to have fun 

and enjoy your crafting time.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite way to decorate a gift (& why).

eg box, bag, wrapping, tag etc.

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

I'm sharing a personalised Christmas Gift Tag that I made for my crafty friend.  I love any excuse to make one of these super-sized tags, but especially if it's personalised, so it means a little bit extra love has gone into making it.  

Brenda

I like to make and decorate little boxes for small goodies I give to friends.  They are quick, easy and so fun to make for jewelry I create.

 

Chrissy

Gift bags for me, especially Christmas gift bags..ribbons, bells, snowflakes, splatters,

Elaine

I like to decorate wine bottles with a tag. These are simple to make and can be adapted to any occasion.

Larissa

I love making boxes for presents that I am giving. I love it when they have the perfect shape for the item inside. I have made these boxes for chocolate penguins with smarties inside for my nephews. I love adding a name on a present to make it a personal gift. 

Lynne

When I give a really small present, e.g. jewellery such as earrings to my daughters, I like to put them in a pretty gift bag to disguise them. This one is only just over 4.5" x 6", the photo is deceptive and makes it look larger.

Sarah

I am most definitely a "jazz it up in a posh box" kind of girl and this one is definitely jazzy. This gift box really makes the simplest of gifts really special and it is so easy to make using any sized square of paper...details here

Squirrel 

I love making boxes, but I am so disorganised that I never leave myself enough time.  My safety net for a pretty gift wrapping is a gift bag, ideal for smaller items like jewellery.

Wilma

I love to create boxes. Very often I give a set of cards as a gift and I always make a custom made box for it. It makes the gift more special.

So now it's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
