To re-create this fun package, all you have to do is wrap black ribbon around a red gift and add a square with the middle cut out. (I used our black 1-1\/2\u201d Double Faced Satin ribbon and our <a title=\"Silver Gloss gift wrap from Nashville Wraps\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/gift-wrap\/wrapping-paper-rolls\/p-168\/655085\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Silver Gloss gift wrap<\/a> for the buckle.) Cut the buckle to be just a bit wider than your ribbon (this one was about 3&#8243; wide by 2&#8243; tall) and simply attach it with tape. That&#8217;s it!
