When presenting gifts to family and loved ones I appreciate the thought behind gift giving more than the value of a gift. When time allows I obtain great pleasure in designing and creating custom packaging for the gifts I present. Each Christmas usually brings a challenge to conceive something new and surprising. For Christmas 2000 I designed a three dimensional star gift box to contain any presents I would give. These were made with special embossed patterned paper adhered to thick paper board, which was then cut into precise triangles. Each star, about eighteen inches from one point to another, is made of five identical cones each made from four of the equally sized triangular shapes. The stars are then formed by properly aligning and pressing together the white velcro edges of the cones. When the receiver of the gift opens up a star by pulling apart the cones the sound of tearing velcro is heard. After the gift is claimed the star can be used again and again.
