Baby Shower Wrap

A few weeks ago I attended a baby shower. As usual, I made a little hat and booties and the night before the shower, I went online for inspiration on how I would wrap the gift. In my search, I came across BOBO wrapping scarves. Apparently, there is a tradition, that comes mainly from Korea and Japan, of wrapping gifts or things that need to be transported in scarves. I loved the idea and immediately realized that I could whip up a baby blanket and wrap my gift in that. I went to work and here is the end product:
Baby Blanket Wrapped Gift
I used fabric remnants for the blanket, which ended up being a 34" square. To make the polka dot border, I used a tutorial from Saltwater Quilts. The border is bias tape that I made following a tutorial by Prudent Baby. I used the same method in my Page Bindings Tutorial to attach the bias tape. I didn't use any batting as it wasn't really necessary. It is a light blanket that is great for the summer.

I found some really great, sturdy boxes at Michael's in their gift wrap section, which is what I used here.

For ideas on how to wrap your gift, BOBO provides some great tutorials.
