Crochet gift wrapping








Why not use crochet applique when wrapping gifts? A Maybelle Flower and a Sweet Heart together with some lace washi tape made all the difference in the world for my friends little birthday gift. Gift wrap from IKEA. And the contents? A sweet pinky floral kitchen set from IKEA. Time to spring pimp her Cornwall Country Style kitchen. I think I will buy myself a set of these too. What is not to love about IKEA?

    Cute wrapping ideas for presents. I already use small crocheted elements to decorate my gifts, but the idea of adding a touch of lace washi tape makes it even more special!

    They are so sweet. What a great idea. And I wish I lived nearer an Ikea store myself, I look forward to my once a year trip.

    Hello Annette,
    I think this is a really lovely idea and I will be borrowing this when I wrap my presents in future. Thank you for a sharing. Your blog is a real inspiration.

    Hi,
    What a lovely idea. It gives your gifts a very personal touch and a little keepsake too.
    I love the pinny and tea towels. Worthy of a trip to Ikea I think!
    I shall give the hearts a try as we have a couple of birthday parties to buy gifts for in the coming weeks. My daughter's little friends will love them.
    I love your blog - I am busy working on your Shawl pattern (slowly) and enjoying it very much!

    Hi Annette, I made some of your darling hearts and some of my roses with the Tilda yarn and made a heart and rose garland for Valentine's Day! I love it. Thanks for the pattern!

    Not ever ever even, even when That Great Swedish Shop begs you? I might throw all principles overboard :-0
    Lovely gift wrapping you did there.

    Hi Annette I have a deep and binding love affair going on with IKEA - in fact I would like to move in! I made some little bags out of the pretty tea towels you have in your post and seeing them again has given me the urge to visit once again! A great post Annette, big hugs
