Used Mary Engelbreit wrapping paper. Bonded garments to colored construction paper and then cut out with cuticle scissors. Made sure to use various colors because I wanted the colors on the backs of the garments to vary. Made clothes line (poles of balsa wood), indoor/outdoor carpeting for turf. The recipient has ducks, so you'll notice ducks on the grass. Used music box with duck "quacking" noise. Package took approximately 15-20 hours to wrap.

Created wire channels on backs of objects, floating them into styrofoam glued to package top. Edges treated with black felt tip pen.

Clear cellaphane was used for water; green cellaphane was used for land. This gift displays a pleated top.
