Wrap handmade this Christmas.
If you are giving handmade this Christmas, why not go the whole hog (or should I say ham? ) and hand make your wrapping too.
Some fun things you can use are:
- Yarn or string “ make pom poms, tassels, or use instead of ribbon
- Your childrens artwork “ get the kids involved in making some unique wrapping paper, cut it into strips to use as ribbon
- Assorted stickers “ spots, stars, novelty
- Washi Tape or Fabric tape
- Vintage Christmas ornaments
- Pages or Photocopies of illustrations or maps out of books
- Paper doilies
- Newspaper
- Confetti
- Fabric as wrapping “ Furoshiki – Japanese Wrapping cloth
- Vintage wallpaper or vinyl adhesive (contact)
- Leaves, gum nuts or flowers from your garden
As you can see this is just the tip of the iceberg. My point is you dont have to spend big $$ on expensive ribbon and shiny paper to get a fun interesting result. Save your money for whats inside the parcel.
I hope you have some fun with your gift wrapping this Christmas.
