Handmade Gift Wrappers

We love presents. We like to receive presents (well, who doesn’t), and we definitely enjoy wrapping them. There is a certain joy in carefully wrapping a present, wherein the “act of wrapping” itself can also be considered a part of the gift. All you efforts would all be worth it when you see the recipient’s eyes widen in delight as you hand the gift to them. Hence, we make sure that we give perfectly-wrapped presents whenever time and means permit.

This Christmas Season, most of us will be making a lot of gift-wrapping. This means we have to buy lots of gift wrappers, ribbons, and gift tags. And that will cost us a lot as well. So today, we would like to share some inexpensive solutions which are also creative, pretty and even green.

Materials:
Pattern Paper
Tape
Paper Twine
Raffia
Glitter Glue
Pencil
Compass (or any circular object)
Ornaments (optional) 

Procedure:
1. Wrap the gift as usual using the pattern paper.
2. Do your preferred design. For us, we make swirls using gold glitter glue inside big circles.
3. Tie with paper twine and raffia and use ornaments as accents.
4. Make a gift tag using ordinary paper with the same gold swirls design. 

Here are the photos and the finished product.

And another example (within the same theme) which you can make using the same materials mentioned above and some gift wrapper scraps. We also added holly leaves made from green-painted paper!

And that’s a wrap!
