Christmas Package Designs. Can :
Be Copied Easily at Home
RY: UP-TO-DATE SUGGESTIONS for Christmas gift wrapping are "found in the package designs which smart stylists have created this year with “Cellophane” cellulose film. Using decorated or plain color
Wrapping, bright ribbon and fabricated ornaments of the film, designers:
have developed many different effects that are easily copied.
High spots in the new color com“bination are -red; white and blue packages. On 3 box wrapped in clear film—crinkled. to give .it a frosted effect—the tri-color design is carried . out with three small pompons made of transparent drinking straws. Another package is wrapped across . the center with a clear strip, and . then banded on one side with red “and on the other with blue. It is finished with a generous bow of ‘opaque ribbon of the film, in white with a red edge and a blue one. A third variation of. this color scheme is worked out with wrapping printed with silver and blue stars. Red ribbon of the film ties the package. ‘New fabricated ornaments of “Cellophane” for package 'adorn.ment—and tree trimming, too—are ““icicles” made of drinking straws, wired - and flattened, and then - twisted ‘into spirals; also expanding ‘red bells and balls that can be folded fiat, similar to tissue balls, for convenient mailing of the package. Useicicles ~The “icicles,” which come in assorted colors, may be fashioned into figures of quaint dolls for children’s gift packages. Use two red ones for arms, and two yellow ones for legs. Make the head with a bell of laminated film in blue and applique the features with bits of colored Scotch tape. Assemble the parts with spool wire, add a ribbon neck-
bow, and fasten to a box wrapped half in blue and half in yellow. Complete with four horizontal strips of holiday ribbon of the film. Many of the fancy = wrapping gheets of “Cellophane” are so Christmasy that they need nothing more than a ribbon bow. Designs of trees, stars, bells, reindeer and other holiday symbols are effectively outlined with white rayon on colored backgrounds. Similar motifs are appliqued with tinsel. A new style in printed wrapping ‘has an embossed background. An unusual ribbon combines corrugated film with plain transparent, in alternate stripes. For good-to-eat gifts, transparent wrapping is much favored because it permits the appetizing food to show through and heightens its appeal with color and sparkle. A plum pudding or a fruit cake looks festive when wrapped in an amber sheet decorated with a sprig of holly, and presented on a glass
- plate. A candy Christmas tree may|
be formed by arranging squares of fudge on a triangle of cardboard. Wrap in a clear sheet, edge with a garland of tinsel and *Cellophane,” and then overwrap.
Tree Ornaments
Three or four cookies cut in star shape make cute tree ornaments when wrapped together and given a ribbon loop for a hanger. To dress up a jar of jelly, cover it with a transparent sheet, and applique a face with colored Scotch Tape. Add pigtails with braided strips of amber film, a hat made from a lacy transparent doily—and the gift will be amusing as well as good to eat. The simplest present becomes exciting when the package is novel and
wrapping essentials which will take care of approximately 15 of your most important packages for a dollar. The paper itself is a heavy weave printed with wide gay stripes in red, blue and a sort of purple that gives the sheets a blended effect. Two kinds of cord are there in the box. One is a sturdy cord made of red, white and blue strands and the other is a roll of wide, roughpaper ribbon with fringed edges and designs in red on the oatmeal color it comes in. Finally there is a full supply of red and oatmeal tags and cards, of the same material as the ribbon and decorated with Christmasy little figures — angels and children and amusing animals.
