Did you ever go to summer camp as a kid? Did you learn how to tie a square knot and how to find the North Star?

I wish I could go to a grownup summer camp where the lessons were all about paper and fabric arts. The camp staff could hire Viola to teach her fabric wrap tutorials. Way more useful than navigating with the stars, don't you think?

Click through to find lots of gorgeous wrap examples.

Here's her tutorial on how to gift wrap a long rectangular box.

How about wrapping two books in a chic little carry-on?

And I love this simple bunny-style gift wrap.

You can find all of Viola's clever fabric wrap tutorials here. Each one is chock-full of clear, colorful images to guide you on your way to fabric wrap heaven.

P.S. -- If you decide to start that grownup summer camp, please let me know. I'll be the first to sign up. : )
