Creative Gift Wrapping Day #5

Welcome back. If you are up for some more creative gift wrappings, let's get going.

Hanging Ornaments

Materials: 

Wrapping paper

Curling ribbon

Buttons

Snowflake Embellishments

Hot glue gun

Elmer's glue

Circle template: jar, glass, compass

Scissors

Wrap your present in wrapping paper.

Using your circle template, trace different sized circles on colored paper and/or wrapping paper. Cut out the circles. Lay them onto your package with a few buttons to determine the desired layout.

Cut curling ribbon to the lengths needed to meet the ornaments and glue them with Elmer's glue onto the package. Glue the ornament circles and buttons next using hot glue. Add stickers or snowflake embellishments on top of the circles. Finish by tying some bows with the curling ribbon and attach them just above the ornaments with hot glue.

"Deck the Halls"

Here is my girlfriend, Renee's ornament package.
I love the little "x's and o's" she added for her daughter.

Musical Snowman 

 

Materials:

Wrapping paper

Printed sheet music (do a google image search for: sheet music)

Snowflake hole puncher

white or scrapbook paper

Snowman sticker or embellishment

Elmer's glue

Limber up those thumbs and get to work punching out mini snowflakes. Or better yet, let the kids do it (my boys had a ball making all these snowflakes.)

Wrap your package as you normally would. Using a solid color or wrapping paper with less detail seems to work best.

Tear the printout of sheet music to make the snowy hill. Lay it on top of the package and crease the edges so it wraps around the box. 

Glue on the music sheet first. Then layout your snowflakes and snowman and glue them on.

 

 Feel free to add snowflake embellishments or circle hole punches if you want.

Tomorrow is the last day of my SIX days of Creative Gift Wrapping.
