    Tea Party Invitation Directions

    1. Lay your tissue paper with the narrow end facing you. Place your invitation or gift in the center of the tissue, toward the top third of the paper. (I’m wrapping a kids size t-shirt and party invitation in my photos. My tissue paper is 16 inches x 24 inches, you can use any size rectangle.

    3. Fold the bottom half of the tissue up so that the top ends meet. You may need to adjust your item, it should slide easily.
