Iron the waxy side of your freezer paper to the back side of your fabric on a medium setting.
Once it’s stuck, trim any excess paper.
Do you see off to the right where the bread has already made a little grease spot on the paper? That’s why we lined the fabric with it – the waxy side protects the fabric from getting any little ugly grease spots on it.
Now, bring the ends up, line them up together, and fold/roll them down like you would do to a lunch sack, until the fold is flat against your bread. You can tape it temporarily if you want to, if you are finding this difficult to do. We’re going to wrap the open ends like a present, so if you’re good at that you can probably managed just fine without taping it.
Now, fold the sides in to make triangles (as I mentioned, just like a present) and ultimately fold them down around the bottom of your loaf. Tie a ribbon around it to hold those ends in place.
I link up to these great parties!

I love this! I'm always giving bread as gifts but finding and attractive way to package it…well, lets just say, at least my bread always looks good. Can't wait to give this a try! And Hancock fabric is having a huge sale and I'm headed there tomorrow!

Ann says
That is super adorable!! Now I know what I'll be doing with my leftover fabric!! :) (And I never knew there was such a thing as freezer paper! Will have to get some!) Thanks for the tutorial!

I just gave away two loaves for a housewarming gift. I soooo wish I had seen your adorable idea!
Kara says
Very pretty idea! Love that fabric too :)
Pam Fields says
Adorable and it does make it seem more personal! Love the idea.
Heather says
This is a great idea, Adrianne. I love it! I'm always looking for new ways to wrap up a loaf – have used cello (of course) and a tea towel, but love the bright colours of some fabric. Didn't know the freezer paper would stick to it. Another use for my roll of freezer paper.
Kadie says
What a cute fun idea! You could even put the recipe on a note and tie it on. It would be great for Christmas neighbor gifts. Because that's the only time I make and give bread. ha,ha
