Home Made Gift Wrap

Are you looking for a Unique Gift 
to give this holiday season??

I have just the one for you!!
I LOVE making Home Made Gifts....
so this year I went looking for 
just that right gift!

I found it....

Can I tell you...
this is very dangerous 
because I LOVE TURTLES!

Now, how to Gift Wrap them??
Because.....As you know...
it's ALL ABOUT the presentation!


I pulled out  a piece of Ivory ~  Canvas Corp Tissue Stock,
a couple Crafter's Workshop stencils,
A jug of gesso and
some Emperor's Gold ~ Silk Acrylic Glaze.
And let the fun begin!


I stenciled on the Tissue Stock.
When dry I pulled out a sheet of
Kraft ~ Canvas Corp Tissue Stock
to complete the Gift Wrap.


I tied the packages up 
using Red & Lime Green Hemp Cord
and a bit of Jute Rope
accented with some gold cording.

I created Gift Tags using 
Scallop Tags and Ties ~ Ivory
and 
I diecut a Holly Branch
from a piece of Lime Green on White Paper,
finished off with a Mini Red Poinsettia.


Now WHO wouldn't want to 
receive one of these Little Ditties as a gift??


Here is the link to the
Pretzel Turtle Recipe

I also created a video sharing
how I created my Gift Wrap!




What a great creative project to make
with your children.
And a great time to teach that it is 
better to GIVE than RECEIVE!!

Other Products Used:
Petaloo ~ Mini Poinsettia
Splash of Color ~ Emperor's Gold ~ Silk Acrylic Glaze
Die~Namites Dies ~ Holly Branch
