Gift Wrapping Techniques

August 2, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 17 Comments

It is my sweet son’s birthday this week and in preparation I wrapped up his gifts this morning. They looked a little plain in the black/white checked gift wrap, so I added some lettering to jazz them up a bit!

With some plain shipping tags, die cut letters and  Japanese washi masking tape…..

…. they look more fun now!

    You would make plain brown wrapping look amazing (although I secretly love plain brown wrapping – tied up with string – one of my favourite things…)
