In her messag Kathy Knapp explained the ribbon she makes from the German star. Thanks Kathy, that's an excellent idea! I am specifically looking for gift wrapping techniques more than ribbons.
Claire in a first message mentioned that the gift wrapping technique presented in "Complete Origami" by Eric Kenneway is also in "Envelope and Letter Folding" 2nd ed. by ELFA and "An Encylopedia of Hand-folded Comnunications" by John Cunliffe. Can any of you tell me if the technique is credited to anyone in particular in any of the two books? Claire and also mentions in that message two books about gift wrapping: "Gift wrapping" by Adelaide & Josephine Shaw and something like "Packaging design and folding boxes" by Paul Jackson and Miri Golan. That might not be the name in English. Do any of you have any of those two books? In Claires second message she mentions that the principle for models like Dasa's "Hydrangea package", can be seen in Jeremy Schaffer's "Present box". Claire, would you please show me how did you wrapped the gift like the one you showed us with a small set of pictures, like Dennis did? I would really appreciate it!
