Gift wrapping ideas

Today's post is all about the presents! I've searched for some really fun ways to give your gifts that extra special touch.

This first idea came from the blog Scrapbook Ideas hosted by Jess Gordon. The examples are hybrid, but couldn't you see painting the stems and leave w/ some acrylic paints then adding some fun prima flowers as well? I love how easy this project would be!

And couldn't you see some repurposing going on with your maya road tins and paper with this kind of packaging?


I hope I've given you some new ways to look at wrapping those presents, not just birthday, but any holiday or gift giving time. I know I've found some amazing websites to further explore!

DON'T FORGET the Hometown Challenge that ends on the 14th. Do a layout about your hometown with the new kit you're getting this week/next and Lorie will have a thread ready for you to post it on. Have a great weekend!
