Design tips and resources for materials and designing home gift centers help take anyone's skill to the next level.Included in the book are step-by-step projects that are easily duplicated; instructions for folding paper and making bows; interesting ideas for bow making and sources of papers and lots of ideas that are appropriate for various gifting occasions.
