I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.
There are also some "How To Do" photographs that walk you through the whole process step by step. So like most people (if they're being 100% honest) I believe we can all use a little help with how to wrap gifts, especially if they are an awkward size, or shape! I did actually read it when I was about half way through my Christmas Gift wrapping, I just didn't have time to write the review until now. Caroline Birkett trained as a textile designer and after gaining a postgraduate diploma spent several years designing luxury knitwear collections. A love of books led her to turn her talents to designing and writing craft projects, contributing to a wide variety of books and magazines. She has also designed new products with a large ribbon manufacturer.
The Reverse Coloring Book (R)
I am only giving it four stars though because I wasn't really blown away by any of the designs. However for a beginner - medium level wrapper this is 100% a great book to have. This had quite a few excellent ideas and some that I will definitely be looking to do this Christmas. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. When I saw The Gift Wrapping Book, I knew that it was for me and it didn’t disappoint. It not only gave templates, it gave ideas on choosing the right paper, how to wrap the most seemingly difficult presents and also ideas on wrapping ‘outside of the box’ .
The book shows you different was to make a bow, and I do not mean just a regular bow, I mean fancy bows. There was a section that showed how to make your own gift tags, by either painting, or gluing on different decorations, just totally cool stuff. There are so many tips you will never go back to just folding the paper and taping it in place again-at least I know I won't! This book has it all and the diffenrent suggestions for gift wrapping had me already thinking ahead as to how I will incorporate some of these ideas for Christmas. I like how she uses everyday items to make these wonderful designs. With Christmas coming why not add some adventure to your wrapping.

This is a valuable reference to have around the house. The only downside is that there were no new additions to the original edition. Despite my love of buying and wrapping presents, the sad, undeniable fact is that I am unable to wrap them. No matter how hard I try, my patience wears thin at my imperfection, lack of ability to cut in a straight line, and difficulty in getting a piece of tape down flat.
