Items you will need:
- Piece of fabric (it’s best to use cotton or another material with some hold rather than nylon, muslin or a slinky fabric)
- Twine or ribbons if you prefer a more decorative look
- Crimping scissors (to prevent frayed edges)
- Scissors
- Fabric starch spray or hairspray
Steps:
1. Cut the fabric edges with crimping scissors to prevent frayed edges (optional but gives a nicer finish). Pastel colours and floral prints are ideal fabrics for an Easter vibe.
2. Place the gift on the fabric, with the ‘good’ side facing down and leaving 1/3 extra fabric at a the top.
3. Wrap the gift as you usually would but rather than folding down the top, tie a knot using twine or thread.
4. Then shape two bunny ears that you also tie into place with twine.
5. To keep the ears up, either use fabric starch or hairspray. Spray a generous amount and leave the gift lying down until dry.
You could add extra decorative elements if you like. For example, it looks great personalising Easter gift wrap with names and messages, or you could attach a couple of dried or artificial flowers to the knot.
