This is a cute gift for a baby shower I made up. I figure someone has probably done this before, who knows. I've heard great minds think alike... which kind of scares me that someone might have thought of this before I did, or vice versa. :|
Anyway, I had a tiny piece of scrap wrapping paper left over, and decided to use it on this last baby shower gift. I had all the other bags full and couldn't add any more to the bags, because the tissue paper wouldn't stay in. So, I had a small empty tissue box that I stuffed gifts inside at the tissue box opening. I then wrapped a long strip of wrapping paper around all four sides of the tissue box, and what I had left, I cut into two small squares for the top and bottom parts of the tissue box.
I put a square of wrapping paper on the bottom, then I taped a top square on the top of the tissue box, and then cut a slit in the top for the opening. I took three small pieces of decorative tissue paper and tried my best to twist it in the shape of a flower, leaving the extra that is twisted to shove in the tissue box opening.
I used two colors (blue & yellow), leaving blue to be the dominant color of the yellow. Also, I overlapped the tissue paper blue, yellow, blue, making each new tissue layer that's in the center smaller than the last tissue paper piece (e.g. Outer blue tissue paper - big, middle yellow - medium, and last center piece of blue tissue - small.)
Once I had the decorative tissue paper adjusted nicely, I then cut a lot of the long pieces of tissue paper off to make it look more like a flower was on top. The only thing the person that's receiving the gift has to do, is pull the top off and reach in for the goodies. :) I hope this was a fun idea for anyone that likes making fun and unique gifts! :D
The steps below are in order from left to right. :)
