Gift in a gift - a cute package for a small gift

Here is a cute way to wrap a small gift and give a gift in a gift which easily transforms a potholder into a little container to package a small gift.  So fun!!!

You simply need a needle and thread!!!  Almost any thread will do though one with a little weight works best - crochet thread, embroidery thread, yarn, fine cording will all work perfectly.  Take a length between 7-12" and starting with one corner poke through the corner diagonally and continue to capture all four corners in the same way.  Pulling tight will bring the corners together at the top and you simply have to tie a bow to secure the package.  See photo below.  

Any small gift can be packaged this way though you might consider wrapping it in a small box or some tissue paper to prevent it from falling out of one the gaps on the sides.  No waste!!!  

Simply place your little gift inside with your tie loose and then tighten and tie off.  

Environmentally friendly can be very cute!!
