How to Choose Fabrics for Gift Wraps

Creative Fabrics for Gift Wraps - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Fabric is a great way to decorate up a gift, there are a few different approaches you can take if it is something like you want to create a big sack for a collection of gifts like a Christmas time or for a birthday. Cotton is a great choice, it is easy to maintain and care for, it is not gonna stretch out of shape, it is gonna be easy to work with. You can make a simple like a sinzup bag, you can use something like a decorative ribbon either to decorate around the bag or as the tie to send your clothes, you can make it reversible if you want it to really go that extra mile. Red crack is another fun trim, so you think about different ways, this could also just be used as a ribbon to wrap around a gift or one thing that I like to do is tear strips of fabric and make a ribbon out of that. You could also think about different novelty prints like this is a print that has little wine bottles, you know, if you are, if it is a bottle of wine you're gifting to somebody, you can make a cute little bag out of something like this. If it is a kid's party, you could go with a kids print, if it is a pirate party you go with a little Jolly Roger, if it is food you know you could choose a food print, if you are like wrapping up a pie for somebody. All sorts of different approaches that you can take, but again I would go with cotton for its ease, you could do something fancier like a silk . I guess you would also want to consider who the gift is going to.
