Quick Gift Wrapping Paper

Quick Gift Wrapping Paper




I used my inkjet printer to create a quick and easy gift wrapping paper. Instead of printing on a plain white paper I chose Ivory Parchment Paper. Its texture and ivory color gives a better result than the normal white paper. I was looking for something different and that's why I went with this.


 


Before printing, I took a moment to look at my own patterns. It'd been two since I started creating patterns and sold them so I have a huge library with many patterns to choose from. However, there is a specific style and color I was looking for.




Choosing the suitable patterns, I printed them and cut off the white borders (if there is any). Then, I brought my small box and wrapped it with the printed A4 paper. Since it was a small box I didn't need bigger paper. When I was done, I decorated with a white paper (I just cut a stripe from the white paper and wrapped it around the wrapping paper) and a metallic blue and gold ribbon. 



And this is the way to wrap a small gift box quickly at home!

Cute DIY Boxes



This is yet another quick tutorial on the applications of digital scrapbooking and crafts paper.
In the past entry I explained with steps and images on how to create a cupcake or muffin wrapper to decorate your cupcakes and muffins with. This time I brought to you a simple diy box creating tutorial.


First of all, choose the pattern(s) that you want to work with.


Second, search for a box template (google is the best source) and save it.
Third, open up any image editing program like Photoshop to edit the template.
Fourth, open the template you saved before and apply the pattern on it.
Fifth, print it on a card-stock paper.
Sixth, cut the image with scissors then fold the box.




And there you have your box.
