Abstract
The gift wrap includes an elongated fabric tube that can accommodate a gift item therein, with the fabric tube's two ends being configured to be tightly tied in a knot over the gift item.
Description
- The present disclosure relates to the field of gift packaging, and in particular to a fabric gift wrap.
- Conventional paper gift wrap requires scissors, tape, and a certain degree of skill to competently wrap a gift package. This has resulted in a proliferation of paper gift bags being used to present gifts. Although pretty and easy to use, gifts presented in paper gift bags lack a certain sophistication and cachet. Further, conventional wrapping papers are not durable and cannot be easily reused, thus adding to the amount of waste being dumped in landfills.

Thegift package 16 can be cubical, rectangular, spherical, elliptical, and irregular in shape, as long as it fits within the space formed by thefabric tube 10. Thegift package 16 is positioned within thefabric tube 10, leaving enough lengths of fabric at bothends FIG. 1C , if desired, extraneous length(s) at the end may be shortened by using a pair scissors, for example. Pinking shears with a serrated blades, scalloping shears, or scissors that form different patterns as they cut may be used to create a pretty edge at the ends. The twoloose ends FIGS. 1D and 1E . -
FIGS. 2-5 are photographs of exemplary embodiments of the fabric gift wrap being used to wrap gift packages of various sizes and proportions according to the teachings of the present disclosure.
