The other day I was needing to wrap two pieces of jewelry for gifts.  I went to the store to purchase two cute little gift bags and I went down the wrong aisle, and what did I see but some really cute socks.  Immediately I thought, why not wrap the jewelry boxes in socks.  This would give the recipient an extra little gift, a pair of socks, very practical.  After choosing two pairs of socks I walked down the aisle and on the end of another aisle I saw these beautiful fluffy feather pins or hair clips.  I looked at the clips and thought these would be perfect to hold the ends of the socks together.  Brilliant, now the recipient has another cute gift.  This is how I did it.

I put the jewelry in a 3″ x 3″ box, the size can vary.  If you have an oblong box like for a bracelet you can use a knee sock instead of a short sock.

Center the box in the sock.

Center the back side design if there is one too.

Fold both ends of the sock into the center where they overlap at least 1/4″.

Use a decorative hair clip or pin and clip/pin the two ends of the socks that are overlapped together.

It is that simple.  Now you have a creative, beautiful and practical gift wrap.

It is so much fun to be creative with your gift wrapping.  I have a cousin, Patrick, that was always extremely creative when he wrapped my Christmas presents when we were kids, and I have never forgotten the feeling I had seeing that unique gift wrapping.

Have fun and experiment with your next gift wrapping.
