A Twelve Days of Christmas Gift Guide: Part II

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, I bet yous are ready for Part II of the Twelve Days of Christmas Gift Guide: Chic Wrapping too Presentation [for adjacent to nothing]. You may accept to create a flake of alteration based on the gifts yous accept chosen, but hither are the basic ingredients:

Tape

Scissors

Glue Stick

Index Cards

Standard white envelopes

Red Sharpie (or fifty-fifty merely a ruby crayon)

Roll of Kraft Paper

Twine or Ribbon

Optional: Boxes (again, depending on what yous accept chosen to give, yous in all probability accept some form of boxes around the delineate of piece of employment solid that tin endure used)

my supplies

I am guessing that yous volition accept close of these items inwards your domicile already, except perhaps the Kraft newspaper and the twine/ribbon. Kraft newspaper comes inwards rolls too is oftentimes used to roll packages for mailing. In my experience, inexpensive wrapping newspaper (think dollar store) feels cheap. Kraft newspaper looks too feels classic, but is inexpensive (you tin uncovering it at the dollar store). I accept used twine, also for a classic packet feel, but if yous become amongst ribbon, I propose picking some upwardly land yous are at the dollar store. Stick amongst ane color; simplicity is elegant.

The How-To

Gather your gifts too roll them inwards the Kraft paper, merely similar yous would roll anything else.

For bottles, I propose cutting a strip of the newspaper too taping it around the bottle to enshroud the label (see below).

For the Love List or the coupons, place them inwards a regular white envelope. Cut out a rectangular slice of the Kraft newspaper too gum it to the front end of the envelope. You volition endure putting a set out over this paper, hence size it accordingly (just expect at the moving-picture demo below too you'll grab my drift).

Create a label for each gift. Simply cutting half dozen index cards inwards one-half too set out them. You tin re-create my numbers below (Freehand, or yous tin click on the image, too hence correct click to download the numbers to print). Feel gratis to create so, or larn creative on your own. I intend Roman numerals would also expect real cool (and they are slow to write). Need to brush upwardly on your Roman numeral skills? See this chart.
