How to gift wrap a Christmas pudding
Place your Christmas pudding (larger side facing down) in the middle of the cloth. Bring two sides of the cloth so they meet together across the pudding and cut the cloth about four inches above the pudding.Cut the other side of the cloth so that you have a square with an even amount of fabric on all sides. Make sure your pudding is in the middle then bring the opposite diagonal corners of the cloth together on one side then the other side, and secure with a length of ribbon. Add a bow and decorate with a delicate sprig of holly or a tiny pine cone. Wondering what could make the perfect gift for your co-workers at Christmas time? Consider
