Quick, simple gift wrap…

December 15, 2009 by Danielle 

If you are anything like me (little bit of a procrastinator) or you just don’t have enough time in the day, then you probably still have gifts to wrap for Christmas! Don’t spend money on those expensive gift wraps and tags from the store…use up your stash!

Here I’ve decorated a box with black cardstock as the base. I cut a piece of the Mistletoe North Pole paper to wrap around the center, tied a ribbon around it in a knot and added a Mistletoe brad to the center with a glue dot. Then I just cut a piece of the Mistletoe borderline sticker to add to the patterned paper.

I love how popular “banners” are these days, so I thought….how about a little banner to adorn my gift? I applied 3 of the tree rub ons from the Mistletoe Press Ons to white cardstock, cut them out, punched a hole in each one and strung them onto twine.

I always have fun making packages look special…something about the wrap that makes the gift that much more exciting! Enjoy your holiday!

    OK, so do you actually have to put anything in that box? It’s a work of art just like it is. Neat.

    How pretty, I love making gifts look beautiful too. However, our little girls get frustrated with all the ribbon, so this year we are sticking to bows for them.

    What a great idea Dani! Perfect to wrap my sister-in-law’s mini-album up for her :) Guess I’ll have to trudge down to the local craft store and buy the paper since I didn’t win it on your blog!!!!! :) No worries though-any excuse to buy more scrapbooking supplies :)

    I agree with Sarah, receiving something as pretty as this means probably I wouldn’t want to open it either. X
