DIY Holiday Gift Wrap


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!

  6. 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 =-)

  9. 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.
