Personalized Holiday Wrapping Paper

Personalized wrapping paper can be the finishing touch to a perfect holiday gift. A unique design can say a lot about the gift-giver and let's the recipient know that you truly care. Create beautiful gifts for your family and friends that will look gorgeous under the tree!
Here are some tips about how to make your own wrapping paper this season:
  • Choose A Theme: Your personalized gift wrap can reflect both the personality of the recipient and your sense of style. Do they love dogs? Or, collecting mittens? Taking these details into consideration and incorporating them into your homemade wrapping paper shows others that you are thinking of them.
  • Gather Your Supplies: To make DIY wrapping paper, you’ll need a couple of basic supplies. First, thick brown or clean white stock paper is good as a base for your creations. Brown will give the gift a more rustic or antique feel, while white is ideal for bright, upbeat designs. You may want to find stencils, colored pens/markers, old sponges that can be cut into patterns and paint. A selection of different types of ribbon (thick, thin, satin, grosgrain, etc.) is also good to have on hand.
  • More Great Ideas: Baker’s twine, with its red and white stripes, is a festive option to tie around packages. Try threading marshmallows or gumdrops onto string and using these as holiday-themed accents for your gifts. When you have finished decorating your homemade wrapping paper, secure it around your presents using fun alternatives to your basic clear scotch tape, such as Japanese masking washi tape that comes in a variety of patterns and colors.
Get the kids involved and enjoy creating extra special gifts for your loved ones during the holidays. Happy wrapping! Need to invite family to your Christmas celebration this year? Try one of our free Christmas invitations!
