Tropical wrapping paper Thejoyofplants.co.uk

You will need 

  • Banana leaf (Musa)
  • Flowers and plant leaves
  • Scissors
  • Washi tape
  • Glue gun 

Get to work 

Now you’ve found a suitable present for the lucky recipient, it’s time for the big wrapping party. Get the banana plant off the windowsill, or buy some loose leaves from your florist. Some parts of the leaves are more flexible than others, so bear this in mind when buying them. The stiff parts towards the vein are not suitable for wrapping but the ends are perfect!

Fasten with washi tape in the same way you would with normal wrapping paper. Then arrange the loose plant leaves or flowers decoratively on top of the banana leaf. Secure them with the glue gun. 

We can guarantee that handing over this present will be a blast!
