Sometimes, what you really need is a quick and easy way to make a gift look like you put a lot of thought and effort into the wrapping. This cute trick is easy and quick to execute but looks dynamite on a plain box or simply wrapped gift. Look for buttons that coordinate with your bakers twine for the best pop of fun!

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: Less than 5 minutes

Things you’ll need:
Buttons in two colors and sizes
Baker’s twine
Gift box
Scissors

Things to do:
1. Cut a length of string long enough to go around your package plus an additional 10 inches.

2. Wrap the twine around the gift with the ends coming to the top of the package and thread the ends through two of the holes on each button so that the buttons nestle on top of one another (with the smallest on top).

3. Push the buttons down so that they are tight against the box, pulling the string taut as you go.

4. Tie a firm knot and then a neat bow on top of the buttons. Trim the ends as needed.
