Supplies:
gift wrap paper
scissors
sticky tape
ribbon, raffia, or fancy string
Steps:
Take a large square of gift wrap and fold it in half, the exact size doesn't matter.
Cut a fringe almost to the folded edge.
Open it out again.
Take a strip of fringe and run it gently between the edge of your scissor blade and your thumb to make it curl.

Repeat with every strip.
Roll up the whole piece of curled paper along the centre fold with the right sides on the inside. Secure with a little sticky tape.
Wrap your ribbon around the parcel and tie in a double knot.
Put the curly bow in place and tie another double knot.
