Newspaper Packaging.
Packaging influenced by newspaper.
Jessica Murnane, stationer, Chicago
You may have seen newspaper repurposed as wrapping before, but Murnane's blossoming topper — which sprouts striped ribbons — keeps this classic current.
Make Jessica Murnane's Newspaper Bloom
1. Stack eight sheets of newsprint and cut into an 8" square.
2. Accordion-fold the stack into 1" increments.
3. Next, cut four pieces of ribbon to a length of 8".
4. Unfold the paper slightly and rest a piece of ribbon in each crease (if you end up with more than four folds, you'll need to cut additional ribbon).
5. Gather the folds back together and pinch the center of the paper tightly (it will look like a bow tie), binding it with a rubber band.
6. Starting from the top, peel up each layer of newspaper, scrunching it together as you go. Finally, curl the ribbon to make a cluster in the topper's center.

NY Meatpacking District – Open for Business
Over the past few weeks, Ted’s been very excited about moving into New York’s Meatpacking district and, yesterday, the new store finally opened its doors for the first time.
Ted’s butlers have finished unpacking and his favourite items are now on display – from traditional tea sets to Ted’s own cricket kit, the new store is bursting with Britishness and the essence of the man himself.
