Wrap Gifts With Baby Blankets

We showed you until now a couple of ideas of personalized baby blankets and thought you how to make them. We also mentioned many times that you can have these blankets made for your baby or you can offer them as presents at baby showers or baby birthdays. We will focus in this post on the last part and we’ll teach you how to use the baby blanket as a gift-wrap! I know that many of you probably use gift bags but here is another way you can give the gift a special look (and add another present to the package also).

You will need:

• The baby blanket and the gift, of course:)
• 2 inches wide o satin ribbon
• Scissors
• And a small rattle of stuffed animal

Follow these steps to wrap the gift with a baby blanket

First you have to choose a baby blanket that has the right size to be used as a gift-wrap. Lay the blanket with the side that you want to be on the exterior face down. Gather the baby gifts, group them and have them arranged in a position that will make the wrapping easier. Remember to place them in the center of the blanket. Now, the edges of the baby blanket have to be folded around the gifts. Make sure you tuck the edges in and under the gift so it is safe from falling off. Basically, you have to think that the blanket is wrapping paper. The process is the same.

Once the folding is done, cut a good piece of ribbon that is enough to wrap around the present vertically and horizontally (you will need to save some of the ribbon’s length for the bow, so make sure you will have the right length from your first cut).

Your next step is to lay the wrapped gift down, with the top facing up. Place the ribbon on the  gift and wrap it around until the underside. When you get there, twist the two ends together at once and go with them at the top of the gift.  They meet again, so now it’s time to tie them together. Use a double know, so they are secure enough and will hold under the weight of the package. One on of the ribbon’s tail, attach the stuffed animal and then make a big a beautiful bow.

These are the steps that you have to follow if you want to use baby blankets to wrap baby shower gifts. It is a great idea and the impact that it has on the persons that receive these present is always positive!
