Using Bakers string for gift wrapping is a creative way of putting this simple and inexpensive spool of thread, which easily available in every household to good use.

This time for Christmas I was clearing out my kitchen drawer when I came across a pack of different colored Bakers twine. They reminded me of how my grandma used to pack little gift jars and freshly baked bread for us. It struck me then that I couldn’t have gotten a better idea to creatively use Baker’s string for gift wrapping.

So here, we go these are a few ideas I got from, my friends and it’s been fun. You could get the kids involved, keep them busy and at the same time wrap up your gifts beautifully and creatively.

A mini Pom-Pom to top-off gifts, just like a ribbon

Wind a considerable amount of Bakers / kitchen twine around a four pronged fork. Then take a contrasting shade of twine and tight tie a knot at the centre. This would leave two prongs on either side. Carefully ease the fork out and trim the ends evenly on both sides. Now fluff them up to get cute little pom-poms that can be used like a bow on gift boxes.

Bunting a substitute for ribbons

If you are good at crocheting; Bakers string are an excellent alternative. You can make cute little discs, stars or triangles and string them up to make bunting which can be used to tie up gift boxes or bags. They can also be used to line the edges of gift jars etc.
