Instead of using expensive ribbon that is only sometimes reusable, these Christmas holiday gift box decorations can be used year after year or used as part of the recipient’s gift.

There is enough of the Metallic Red and Dark Sage Sparkle to make more than one decoration.

Each motif has a gauge and notes for making them. Each poinsettia “petal” uses two types of yarn, I Love This Yarn! Metallic Red (75-85 yards) and each “leaf” uses Caron Simply Soft Party: Dark Sage Sparkle(60-70 yards). The “ribbon” uses Yarn Bee Pima Supreme: Gold (240-50 yards).

A size 14.75” X 9.5” gift box (shirt box) is needed as well as wrapping paper.
