Materials and Tools:

gift box wrapped with "masculine" paper
1"-1-1/2" wide satin ribbon*
pearl-head straight pin
double-sided tape
scissors

*length to go around the box plus twice the desired length of the tie

Steps:

1. Start with gift box wrapped with paper. Using matching paper, cut and extra piece 4 inches long and the width of the box. Fold this in half lengthwise and crease. This becomes the collar.

2. Fold in half and crease. Cut along crease line stopping 1/4 inch from the end.

3. Tape to top of the box, extending 1 inch beyond the edge of box.

4. Crease diagonal folds from center to form collar points.

5. Attach satin ribbon around the box covering the tape line of the collar, tucking ends of the ribbon flat on back side of box.

6. Cut another piece of ribbon to twice the doubled tie length.

7. Loop tie under the ribbon attached to box. Pull gently to form tie knot.

8. Trim ends of ribbon into points.

9. Use double-sided tape to get upper edges of collar to stay down.

10. Slide a pearl-head straight pin into the tie and paper wrap as a tie clasp.
