1. Christmas Themed Word Search Wrapping Paper: Polish The Stars Just print & wrap. I used my chalk pencils to highlight the words. The twine adds a magical touch…one of my first times to use it since I purchased it!
2. Wire Garland: Found this cute cotton ball looking wire garland hanging with my ribbon that I had never used. I decided to wrap it around the gift and loved the texture it gave to the gift.
3. Ribbon: I used scalloped ribbon to pretty up this gift. Ribbon is always brings lovely results.
4. Tulle: I love wrapping gifts with tulle. It dresses up a gift very quickly and always looks spectacular. Plus, it’s very inexpensive. I usually buy mine in the wedding section at the dollar store.
5. Printable Tags: I found these adorable, simple tags by Little Paper Dog. They were completely free! Download, print & cut… easy peasy!
6. Bow: Oh Amanda taught me a new way to make a bow using your wrapping paper. It’s genius and very simple to make. She has a wonderful tutorial on her site.
7. Stamps & Such: On these gifts I decided to stamp the recipients name. It was simple using my scrapbook stamps and added a little glam. I also used a chipboard letter on this first letter of Mark’s name. I layered it with burlap, added some paint and tied on some ribbon. I took some other wrapping paper & turned it over using the wrong side. It looks like brown butcher paper. I only used a portion of it to add a little depth. On John’s gift I decided to use my circle punch to give the edge a fancy border. Just punch half the circle to make this look. I decided they were pretty enough without a bow so they don’t have one. Crafting & scrapbook supplies come in handy for all sorts of projects. Try to think outside the box.
Just in case you are still needing some wrapping inspiration…
Wrapped with love,
