Mama's strong ally. Let's dress up presents with pinking shears. What I realized after becoming a mom.

And that is, I realized that I need to be more mindful of how I interact with other moms than I initially thought.
Mom friends are acquaintances through our children, so they are not just simple friends.

However, because we are fellow moms, there are many things we can understand about each other, and we support each other as a reliable source of help.

For such mom friends, there are quite a few opportunities to give small gifts, such as homemade sweets or souvenirs from trips.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if, instead of handing them over as they are, you could easily do stylish wrapping?
This time, I will introduce simple wrapping methods I practice and the items that make it possible. 8 You can create beautiful wrapping without spending much money.
You can create beautiful wrapping without spending much money.
I like baking, so I often give small portions of cookies, pound cakes, and other treats to my mom friends.

If even a small gift is nicely wrapped, they might think, "Mom of＊＊-chan has such good taste..."

With that in mind, I started putting a little extra effort into my wrapping.

When it comes to original wrapping, people tend to think they have to buy cute wrapping paper, ribbons, and so on.

But you can create wonderful wrapping on a low budget without spending a lot of money.

An item I use often is pinking shears. Do you know what pinking shears are?
These are scissors that can cut paper and fabric into zigzag or wavy patterns.

Pinking shears are incredibly useful for adding a little flair to presents.
The pinking shears I use are from LICEL.
They are made of stainless steel with a sharp blade, and come in zigzag (mountain shape) and wavy (wave shape) patterns, as well as three different widths: 3mm, 5mm, and 7mm.

I often use the 3mm wavy cut.
It's hard to find pinking shears with a fine 3mm wavy cut, so I really value these.
They are also cost-effective, and the fact that they come with instructions was another point that made me choose these scissors.


I'll teach you simple, original wrapping methods. Or
You can wrap gifts like this.
When it comes to small gift bags, there are many different designs available, aren't there?
Instead of just putting the gift in and sealing it with tape, try this little trick.
Simply cut the opening of the bag with pinking shears and seal it with a sticker for a much cuter look. Even plain brown envelopes you have at home can be turned into cute bags just by cutting them with pinking shears.
3. Ribbons Do you happen to save the ribbons that come with gifts, as many of them are quite lovely? You can give these ribbons a decorative edge with pinking shears and reuse them for wrapping. Use them to tie the opening of a bag, or make small ribbons to attach to cards or bags.
It also prevents fraying.
Pinking shears are also very useful for things other than wrapping.
When children start going to kindergarten or nursery school, there are many things you need to make by hand, such as bags.
Using pinking shears adds a cute touch, and they can cut not only paper and fabric, but also nylon and leather, making them an indispensable item.

Pinking shears are useful in various situations, so it's definitely worth having one.
