Stylish Gift wrapping and easy!

Beautifully wrapped makes a little gift super special

When the lovely Fenn arrived a work this morning bearing wee gifts for myself and the girls I just had to show you! At first look you would be sure it was packaged that way but it is actually hand wrapped with scrapbook paper! They feel crisp and smart and the little details really sing.

Crimped and zig zag edge

So I hit up Fenn to find out how create them too...

1. This works best with a small compact gift.. something tells me there is a chocolate bar inside :)
2. Cut scrapbook paper so it folds around the gift snuggly and adhere closed with double sided tape.
3. Insert two strips of double sided tape at each open end and PRESS closed rather than fold.
4. Trim each end with zig zag pinking shears.
5. Heres the super cool part: Insert each end into paper crimpers to create pinched fold ends.
6. Cut small Christmas images from Christmas scrapbook paper or stickers, add little embellishments such as rhinestones, flowers and kindy glitz to decorate the gifts.
