How to Gift Wrap with Toodles Noodles
If you are like me, my gift wrapping skills are not that great, I usually settle for a nice bag to put my presents in. Lucky for us the talented Liora, who designs and makes her own gift wrap, shares her amazing gift wrapping skills with us. Just follow along step by step below.

Gift Wrapping 101:- Pick out your paper. Liora used her confetti, follow the arrow and New Zealand floral paper for this DIY.
- A pair of scissors
- Gift tags
- Tape
- Ribbon or twine
- Imagination and patience and maybe some music for inspiration
Confetti paper tutorial
To make this package stand out Liora created an extra fold on top. A perfect place to put your gift tag.
The finished product. Add your ribbon and a gift tag and you have a package almost too pretty to open!
With her New Zealand flora paper tutorial, Liora added a pop of color, by adding a red piece of fabric on top of the paper.

just add a fun gift tag with some ribbon or twine and show off your gift wrapping skills
Follow the Arrow: This tutorial is my favorite. I am a big fan of this playful pattern and check out the whole gift wrap kit here. Those fun arrows on top are cupcake toppers.
Follow the Arrow tutorial 
Use an extra strip of paper to create a place holder for your gift tags and adornments
Add your cupcake toppers by creating a notch in the paper for showing them off
You may not want to open up these packages. They just look too good!
Now you should be a gift wrapping expert. With some fun paper, some cool accessories and a bit of imagination you can create packages that really stand out. A big thanks to Liora for sharing her wrapping skills. If you love her paper she also has lots of other goodies in her shop: tote bags, tea towels, note cards and more. She also has a fun blog.
Your finished product. Now you are an official expert gift wrapper. Show them off!
Weekly Roundup 9 August
Last week I received a very lovely gift in the post that had so much thought into the wrapping - it reinvigorated me and brought an enormous smile to my face! Receiving a gift is always welcomed, but when the giver puts so much thought and effort into wrapping it - it takes the gift up to a whole other level! It goes to show that the giver put in a lot of thought and time into picking that gift for YOU. With that in mind and the fact that I'm gearing up for the Holiday Season (yes, can you believe it?!) and my next expo I've done some searching for fun gift wrapping ideas. It's all about creating a smile at the end of the day, and if that can be accomplished by putting a cookie into a little brown bag with some ribbon instead of on a serviette I'm all for it! Happy Friday everyone and have a fantastic weekend full of smiles!

Weekly Roundup 17 May
Happy Friday everyone! A big thank you to everyone who has left some lovely feedback in regards to our six year anniversary in New Zealand! Not to mention our a belated Toodles Noodles birthday celebration, so happy to see people using the 15% off 'KIWILOVE' sale currently on at the shop! It's so amazing to see our wee shop growing so much lately! We are nearly at 12o0 likes on Facebook, have 2540 admires and over 300 sales on Etsy, almost 1200 followers on Pinterest and it just keeps growing everyday! Thank you again so much for all your support and this dream wouldn't be possible without you! Now, I know it's turning winter in New Zealand but that doesn't mean we can't participate in the current, my favourite, trend - Nautical. The amount of striped clothing that exists in my closet is a bit out of control but that's because I have always been a big fan of anything and everything nautical. You might even agree with me after viewing this beautiful Nautical themed roundup! Have a great weekend everyone and hope you have some fun plans!
