I have seen some great ideas for some DIY wrapping paper on Pinterest over the years. I took some Sharpie paint pens and some brown packaging paper and created some designs of my own.
Wynn has been very nice this year as you can see. I thought this was a fun way to make some wrapping paper and not have to worry about a tag as well. The little bow will make it easy for Wynn to unwrap it.
Here is the second type of wrapping paper I made using the same supplies as the first example above.
I just used the markers to create a festive chevron pattern and a song lyric. It was a lot of fun to create my own wrapping paper decoration with the Dollar Tree packaging paper. This paper is a lot more sturdy than the every day wrapping paper too, and I like that it does not easily tear. Thanks so much for stopping by!
So much easier than stamping! Why didn't I think of this??? Plus I could put my kids to work doing this as well! You should stamp the boys feet on some for super cute gift wrap for the grandparents! Because I know your not exhausted or anything =-) Xo,Kim
What fun packaging! I bet it was relaxing coloring those. (I like coloring and try to get Jacob to do it with me when he's here.) I have lots of craft paper and sharpies in every color. Hope I get some time to try this.
Awesome! I always seem to land on your blog, even on a link party with more than 600 other ideas...I must like your style. :) This gift wrap is too cute.
How cute is that! Love the addition of the song lyric!

How cute, I think the kids would like making this as well (the older ones not the little two)
ReplyDeleteI love this, all of my presents are wrapped in craft paper this year too.

ReplyDeleteLove your DIY gift wrapping! I've done something similar with mine! Gotta love brown craft paper, huh?
ReplyDeleteFollowing you on Pinterest!
Craft paper rocks my world! It's basically the only wrapping paper I have! Love that little chevron design.
