Christmas Gift Wrapping Worksheet
MATERIALS
• Brown paper. or any other strong paper
• Rummage around for all those decorative bits and bobs…anything you have saved for a project just like this!
• Glue, scissors. stapler, pen.
• Dust off the sewing machine, or needle and thread.
1. On a double sheet of the paper, draw freehand a Christmas sock, make it generously bigger and wider than the gift .
2. Glue together around the edges, leave top open to slide the gift in.
3. Machine around the sock but not too close to the edge or it may rip easily.
4. Decorate… it’s Christmas anything goes!
5. Pop the gift inside .
6. Sew the top closed.
7. Staple a hanging ribbon on, if required.
Try other shapes - Star, Bell, Pudding, Rudolf.  Experiment with wallpaper, used plastic bags, greaseproof paper (for Christmas cookie gifts)
Use festive colour threads
