Gift Wrap DIY

I had some friends ask about my gift wrap this year. So I thought I'd write up a little DIY about it. Cause it was so so simple...

Pin It

You will need...

brown box or lunch sack or craft paper

double sided tape

glitter

baker's twine

{I might have to keep this guy out, I love looking at him}

Letter Stamps

Packaging Tape

#1 Wrap your gift in a brown box or brown craft paper or brown lunch sack. I used packaging tape - it seems to work the best on the brown paper products.

#2 Then take your double sided tape and make a design on the wrapped gift. If you are worried about doing a design or a letter just start with a straight line. They look good too!

{I know it's hard to see, but it's clear!}
{I made a snowflake or star}

#3 Once your design is finished, sprinkle your glitter over the tape. You will want to do this over  a tray or paper plate or something. 

Make sure the whole area is completely covered.

#4 Turn your work so that glitter side is standing up on your tray and give your gift a good tap or two or three. You can reuse the glitter that comes off on the next gift. 

{if you use tinsel glitter like I did...some of the pieces will stand straight up. I think it really makes it POP!}

#5 Then tape (packaging tape again) one end of your bakers twine to the back. Wrap the twine around the box as many times as you want. Then cut and tape the other end on the back as well.

# 6 Next, stamp your letters onto your gift. If you don't have a letter stamp set and you don't want to purchase one...just write on the gift or tape a gift tag. 

#7 Look at your gift and smile - because, trust me, the receiver smile too :) But be aware...they will have glitter everywhere when they open it:)

Here are some more ideas...

{lots of letters and pretty tape}
{no need for the stamps or twine}

{I had these cute labels...so I used them instead of stamps}

{The design at the top of the tree is the equal sign stamp}
you know...this thing =

I think my favorite thing about this wrapping idea is that you can make it work for any occasion:)
