So if your wrapping is usually like a Monet (from far away, it’s okay, but up close, it’s a big old mess) then it's time to change your stripes and get cracking on recreating Cher's signature check.

If Cher and Dionne did there own wrapping (ugh, as if!) we think it would look a little something like this. But seriously, for those of us that have a way normal life this is a so simple and effective, even for the gift-assembly challenged among us.

What you need:

Here’s the 411:

1. Wrap your present in classic brown kraft paper

2. Pick your colour scheme, we like monochrome with a splash of neon. Using one patterned washi tape and two to three solid colour washi tapes start to wind around your gift

3. Make sure you weave the tapes in between one another as you lay out the lines horizontally and vertically in order to get a real fabric look.

4. And BOOM, you've just created a fun, festive wrapping sensation that will look PHAT under the Christmas tree!

Be sure to stock up on our F A B selection of washi tapes - they are O N L Y a EURO at the moment. I mean, come on! And remember ‘Tis a far, far better thing doing stuff for other people' and give yourself serious snaps for all the awesome wrapping. Go you.
