Have you even wrapped a package, ready to give, only to find that you have not a scrap of ribbon in the house? It happens, even to those of us who are craft hoarders. Or maybe the ribbon you have isn’t quite the right match for your gift recipients. Fear not! All you need is a little tape and some glitter and you’ll have something even better than plain old ribbon for your gift.

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: Less than 5 minutes

Things you’ll need:
Clear tape
Glitter
Wrapped gift

Things to do:
1. With your tape upside down (so the sticky side is up) wrap a strip around your package first one way and then the other to create a traditional ribbon wrapped look. Make sure the places where the tape crosses is well stuck together.

2. On a covered work surface, generously sprinkle glitter over the tape, making sure it’s well covered.
3. Tap off any excess glitter from the paper before giving.
