Small Gift Bows Here is another great gift bow tutorial! These are a little bit easier to make than my Jumbo Gift Bows due to the smaller, more manageable size. They are also a great option because you can use almost any paper to make them! All of the bows you see here were made from pages out of a magazine. Holiday ads have great colors and images to make gift bows from. You could also use scrap booking paper, newspaper, gift wrap, or even get some rolls of ribbon at the fabric store and use it to make these decorative bows without having to cut strips yourself! To make the bow seen at the top of the page you will need to start by selecting a full page out of a magazine and cutting it into strips: For this bow I cut my page into 7 strips, all 3/4" wide as seen above. Next, you will make your loops into figure 8 shapes by looping your paper. Secure your bow loops in the center with glue, double sided tape or a staple. Now your bow is ready to assemble!
cupcake box For english summary, see end of post. Min lille gratulerer-med-ny-logo-og-profil-gimmick til Caroline alias Sukkerfeen ble ikke notatbok for oppskrifter som først tenkt, men derimot en cupcake-formet gaveeske i god gi-det-videre-ånd. Jeg kan godt se for meg at Sukkerfeen kommer svevende med en slik en med noe søtt og deilig oppi. Cupcake-esker av denne typen finnes det mange bilder av på nettet, men det har ikke lykkes meg å finne en mal for gratis nedlasting. Esken rommer akkurat en normal størrelse muffin/cupcake (diameter i bunn er cirka 5,5 cm), men kanskje greit å droppe frosting - eller holde mengden til et minimum. For øvrig kan eskene selvsagt fylles med akkurat det dere måtte ønske å gi bort eller oppbevare. Best av alt: Disse eskene er slett ikke vanskelige å lage! Da sier jeg bare værsågod - det er servert!

The idea originated from this woven yarn gift topper which you can see at giverslog.com and from this image which comes from the book More Last Minute Knitted Gifts. How-to ♥ Cut some strips of colored paper. I also made a rainbow gift topper….no surprise there then! Happy Monday everyone!
Typographic Gift Wrap This year, I vowed to only make or buy handmade holiday gifts for my friends and family, and I've kept to it so far. But wrapping these gifts in commercial paper didn't seem to make much sense, so I wanted to create some handmade gift wrap to match. I happen to think a gift wrapped in newsprint is actually quite attractive, and love the look of text on a package, but wanted to put in a little more effort. So I came up with a cool option that's clean, masculine, and maintains the typographic look of the newsprint. Plus, it eliminates the need for any "to:/from" tags, as the recipient's name is right there in tasteful type. Once I figured it out, it was actually quite easy and quick - less than ten minutes per gift. Here's how to do it: Materials and Tools 1. 2. 3. 4a. 4b. 5. 6. Happy Holidays!

Printable Gift Box Tutorial With two new sets of printable gift boxes designed (a Strawberry set and Woodland set) I thought that I would post a tutorial on how to make these simple boxes... The gift box templates come as high resolution 300dpi jpg (or pdf) files and measure 8.5 x 11 inches (US letter paper) but can also be printed on A4 paper. The templates can be printed on any paper you like, I recommend using a card and printing with your printer's highest quality setting. 1. 2. Scoring along the lines first with a bone folder and ruler on a foam mat will make folding easier and neater. 3. You can leave the box as it is, or embellish it with ribbons, bows, tags etc. The templates for these boxes and for my other printables are available to buy from my shop www.hfcSupplies.etsy.com I would love to see things people have made with my printables so please feel free to share links to photos of your projects!
Creative Gift Wrap / Holidays and Seasonal My very favorite way to wrap gifts is using a roll of kraft paper to pop off a fun accent. The more dimensional the better! Felt is my very favorite texture during the holiday season. Here are three easy ways to add fun to your gifts this season using Fiskars tools. Holly Topper I am completely obsessed with dimensional felt projects! 1. 2. 3. 4. Scarf Wrap Wrap up a gift with a fuzzy faux scarf and pair with a warm greeting! 1. 2. 3. Turn your gift topper into fun after unwrapping is done with a quirky Santa mustache stick for fun photos during the holidays! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Milk Carton Packaging I recently picked up a pack of white milk cartons from Riot Art and Crafts. They are made from a thick white card with a gloss finish, and I thought they would be the perfect way to package up some hard to wrap gifts. As it is never too early to start planning for Christmas, I decorated one in a Christmas theme this morning. The shape of the carton will be perfect for giving cookies, wrapped in a cellophane bag and then popped inside. I used the Cricut Very Merry Tags to cut the reindeer. I also made up one with a Ice-Cream Sundae birthday theme using the Cricut Sweet Treats Cartridge. I think you will be seeing more milk carton projects over here in the future.
Pretty patterned paper bags! | next to nicx After I’d made up chocolate wrappers for my Husband’s Uncle and Aunt last week. I made some gift bags for our nephews. Creating a template that can be printed out on A4 paper. They looked rather cute! The finished bag size is 135mm high x 90mm wide x 35mm deep. It’s then very easy to cut the template out and use some adhesive or double-sided tape to glue them together! To make them a little more special, I’ve made them personalisable! I’ve created them in two different sized fonts to allow for longer names.

Gift tags from a tissue box My favourite reason for reusing pretty packaging or printed materials for repackaging is that the nice prints make the (repurposing) transition effortless to achieve. Take this tissue box for instance. With its classic silhouettes designs (love the swing) I hoped to highlight them and decided to crop them as gift tags. There was enough for me to make some of the tags double sided as well, primarily to cover glue or torn marks behind. The faux eyelets were made by sticking dot stickers in place before hole punching. Paper gift bag Idag tänkte jag dela med mig av en mall för pappersväskor som jag gjort. Hoppas ni gillar den. Det var lite klurigt att få till alla vinklar och jag vet inte hur många gånger jag skrev ut mallen, klippte ut, vek, blev missnöjd, ritade om, skrev ut igen och så vidare… men till slut fick jag till det (tror jag). Väskorna kan användas som presentpåsar t ex. Gör man som jag och skriver ut mallarna på en A4 så blir de ca 11 x 11 cm stora. Om du inte vill använda ett av mina fem färdiga mönster så kan du ladda hem den blanka mallen och använda den på valfritt mönstrat eller enfärgat papper. Klicka på bilderna nedan för att ladda ner den mall som du vill ha. Ladda ner: / Download: Click on the pictures above to download the template you want. Om du skriver ut på lite tjockare papper (jag använde mig av fotopapper) så kommer vikningen blir snyggast om du rispar papperet försiktigt innan du viker. Trevlig helg på er!
