Gifts galore! Now that you have all that beautifully colored tissue paper, what do you do with it? Here Carol Duvall, host of HGTV's The Carol Duvall Show, uses those lovely sheets to create some innovative and easy crafts. Materials:
Orizomegani paper, dyed tissue paper
Scissors
Floral wire
Floral tape
Mod Podge®
Foam brush
Basket, box or other object to cover
Freezer-wrap paper
Gift-Wrapping Paper - Wrap presents inside and out with dyed tissue. Make matching gift-enclosure cards for that extra touch.
- Note cards and envelopes: With a warm iron, press tissue to the waxed side of a sheet of freezer-wrap paper. The wax will melt, and when it cools (about 3 seconds), it laminates the two papers together. Cut and fold into note cards and envelopes. Use a ready-made envelope as a pattern by opening it and tracing around it (figure A).
- Boxes and baskets: Cover boxes and baskets as we have done in the past using paper napkins and/or tissue paper. First, coat the surface to be covered with a generous amount of Mod Podge or Anita's Water-Based Polyurethane. Place pieces of torn tissue on the surface, and brush over carefully with more of the finish. Allow to dry.
Note: - Dark colors tend to run, so it's better to dab on rather than brush on the finish (figure B) (figure C).
Paper Flowers Cut tissue paper into a circle. Gather in the center, then wrap with wire and floral tape. For larger, fuller flowers, stack two or more circles together before gathering and taping (figure D).
