Symmetrical Patterned Xmas Wrapping Paper
I see pattern…
…on all sorts of different Christmas Crafts!
Soooooooo, I decided to do a little Christmas Crafting myself (with pattern included, of course)!
Last year, I painted green and red Chevron patterns on all my gifts! This year I decided to stay away from painting and instead experiment with circle punches and hologram sticky paper! I knew I wanted to do something with snowflakes (aka symmetrical patterns hehe)! :) I just wasnt sure what I wanted to do. Then I saw these lovely windows at Urban Outfitters and was totally inspired.
So, I went to JoAnns Fabrics and collected all my supplies! And found a snowflake puncher at Michael’s that I used on some of the presents. You know, ya gotta make a collection of wrapping paper designs. ;)
Supplies needed:
3 sizes of Fiskars Circle Punches
Hologram Sticker Paper of your choice - I found mine at JoAnns
Recollections Snowflake punch - I found mine at Michaels
Trusty ole brown packing paper - found at Target
I am absolutely pleased with the way my gifts turned out this year. What do you think? :)
Happy holidays everyone!!!! And if you attempt this wrapping paper DIY, two tips beforeyou start…
1. The thicker the sticky paper the easier it is to peel, BUT the harder it is to cut. I had to put my snowflake punch on the floor and step on it to cut thru the paper!
2. DONT paint your nails with glitter finger nail polish before you conquer this project! The glitter totally made it way more difficult to peel the hologram sticky paper!! :)
XOXO,
For the big one, start by lining up the duct tape to one of the the lines on the pumpkin. Because I used real pumpkins, the lines ended up not being an exact guideline for each stripe of tape, but for the most part, they were pretty helpful.
As for the other two styles…
And look! What a pretty mess you make with your scraps! haha
I mustache you a question…
