It’s Blog Tour time…and that time of year…yes, there are packages to wrap! You might be surprised to find you have the resources to come up with some pretty trendy wrapping at your fingertips!
I started with our gorgeous wrapping paper, currently available at a great price as a Year-End-Closeout. This paper is thick and peek-proof:
Nope, can’t see through it! I tied our Natural 7/8″ Ribbon around the wrapped box and then started to play with embellishment:
Star Framelits and Lost Lagoon paper and embellishments create a package that works for the holidays or even a December birthday.
For a completely different look, I punched circles in Cherry Cobbler, Gold Glimmer, and Typeset Designer Series paper and strung them on Linen Thread. The Glimmer paper is attached with a glue dot, one on either side of the thread, so there’s lots of sparkle.
If you eliminate the star and change out the colors, you have a package wrapped for any occasion.
Think outside the box here (get it? GET IT??) Wrap in DSP, or even a brown paper bag or newspaper. Look for the widest, brightest ribbon that you have and wrap it around your package. Punch shapes – flowers, stars, squares, triangles – and string them on linen thread or baker’s twine. The possibilities are endless! Wrap away!

Thanks, Andi – I’ve seen a lot of home decor using the circles and thought they would be cute on a package. Glad you liked it!
