instructions

1. Wrapped Parcel - Assemble the card box and lid using the template from the pattern pages, and place the gift inside. Wrap with a double layer of red tissue paper. Wind a floral card strip around the parcel, covering the folded sides of the paper, and seal with sticky tape.
   
   Tie a length of red ribbon in a bow around the package, over the card strip. Remove the downy lower part of a red feather, then thread the exposed spine through the knot of the bow.

2. Invitation - Write your invitation onto white A4 paper and fold it into three. Wrap a card strip around the folded paper and secure with tape. 2Tie red satin ribbon around the strip in a bow. Remove the downy lower part of a red feather, then thread the exposed spine through the knot of the bow.

3. Thank You - Wrap a floral card strip around the front of a red blank vertically and fix on the back with sticky tape. Form another length into an overlapping circle and secure with tape.
   
   Draw the join and the other side of the circle together, then wind another strip of card around this area and secure with tape to form a paper bow. Stick to the strip on the greeting.
   
   Pull off the downy lower part of a red feather, then cut the remainder into an arrow shape. Stick the exposed spine onto the back of a seeded heart with a glue dot.
   
   Fix the heart and feather to the centre of the paper bow. Tie another bow in a length of red satin ribbon and attach this to the heart with a glue dot. Add a ‘Thank you’ tag to the base of the card.
