Brightly colored crepe paper cut into strips adds a cheery twist to the holiday tradition and creates an exciting focal point for any occasion.
Cut strips of crepe paper about 1-1/2" to 2" wide and about 3' long.
Roll out the crepe paper to lengthen it.
Fold several times in half so you can cut many layers at the same time.
Make incisions in the crepe paper about every 1/4" or so.
Using the glue gun is the fastest way to get the paper into the box. Start with the bottom layer and work your way around the box.
Add in the next layer. These are spaced every 1/2" or less.
For variety, add in a different color. Have fun with the color combinations.
Do the same with the top of the box.
Complete with a bow in the color of the ribbon you want..
