Lazyman's Wrapping 105

With presents that are tub-shaped but aren't simply cylindrical we are posed with the usual problem of wrapping it nicely. The solution? Don't.

Requires:
Wine carrier bag (in this case a Jusco paper bag was used)
Crepe paper
Ribbon
Cardboard

Thankfully the tubs fit nicely into the wine bag - else we'd have to get one that's bigger.

Now use the cardboard make a cylinder with the tubs inside, not only this holds them in place but gives you a frame to work on.

Next roll the crepe paper around the cylinder and stuff the bottom in. Unlike wrapping tissue crepe paper is more fragile and may tear, be careful.

Finally, tie simple knot on top of cylinder. Viola.

Tell recepient the present has to be chilled before using.
