D.I.Y. Wrapping Paper Tutorial – Guest Posting at Sugar Bee Crafts
Today, I am taking part in the guest posting extravaganza over at Sugar Bee Crafts, sharing my D.I.Y. Wrapping Paper Tutorial.
(I know it may seem like I’m going guest-post-crazy, but for those who don’t know, sometimes you write guest posts several weeks before they “go live,” so let me clarify that I am not superwoman doing all of these projects in just a few days. Such feats of crafty strength would be pretty incredible, though.)
Mandy, the beauty and brains behind Sugar Bee Crafts, was kind enough to include me in her guest posting extravaganza this holiday season. If you’ve never been over to Sugar Bee Crafts, I recommend you stop what you’re doing and take a visit.
The tutorial I created covers 5 methods for making your very own wrapping paper. Each method is quick, inexpensive, and eye-catching…I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m sure you’ll come away with some ideas for making your holiday wrapping experience a bit more fun and easy this year.
Cheers!
I just told Mom that I can’t wait for present exchanging time this year especially because of the wrapping paper! Love the paper towel roll idea, too…so creative!
I’m debating wrapping our gifts beforehand because of TSA requirements when it comes to travel and also because they might arrive a bit crumpled. Perhaps we could make our own wrapping paper together on Christmas Eve!
I love the chalkboard wrapping!!! It and the butcher paper wrapping just catches my eyes. I’ve pinned this. 🙂
I know, I think the butcher paper is my favorite “look.” Just so classic – – and an really be dressed up (or down) in so many ways. Thanks for the pin, bethany!
These are so simple and yet so creative and pretty. I really like the bric-a-brac on the map paper. Making the Crayola markers into watercolors was genius! Will have to post this on FB!
I’m in love with bric-a-brac, too! Need to buy some in bulk. I run through it too fast! Thanks for the share on FB, Mama. You’re my biggest flan. 🙂
Awww! When you come to visit, let’s look for my bric-a-brac…some I inherited from my mom’s sewing day.
Ooo! Vintage bric-a-brac? I’d love to.
Thank you so much for sharing this posting. I love pretty packages. “Brown paper packages, tied up with strings….these are a few of my favorite things!” Enjoyed your blog, Kim @ Bluebirds and Butterflies xoxo
Thanks for bringing that song to mind, Ki,; it’s one of my faves! So glad you enjoyed the post.
Oh my gosh! I’ve been looking for a good way to personalize my presents this year and this is amazing! I’ll post the results in about a week!
Hooray! Can’t wait to see it, Catrina. Let me know when your post is up!
I love these ideas! I never buy wrapping paper myself. Here are my versions of wrapping paper – http://toallthatsbrightnbeautiful.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/i-never-buy-wrapping-paper/.
Let me know if you like them!
Like them? I LOVE them! Especially the weaving technique (gotta try that), and fabric wrap. So encouraging to know I’m not alone in my quest to make my own wrapping paper. Keep up the beautiful work.
