I had these grand plans for how I wanted to wrap all of our Christmas gifts this year. My plans involved lots of brown Kraft paper (I'm addicted), handmade gift tags, white ink, snowflake stamps, letter stamps, painted wooden snowflakes, white pompoms, and bells.
Then I went to Michael's and almost dropped dead when I saw the price-tag of all the supplies I would need. Seriously peoples, it was $18 for a snowflake stamp and almost $20 for a white ink pad! Since I didn't have any coupons with me I went home empty handed and decided to make do with what I had at home. Wah wah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
I did end up buying two small rolls of brown, polka dot Kraft paper at Target as well as a few packages of coloured Kraft-paper-like wrapping paper at Homesense. I tried to wrap each gift a little bit differently. I took pictures of a few of them.
Maybe if I save up my allowance I can get the snowflake stamps next year. ;)
Adorable! Maybe I'll try it for next year, I'll look for a snowflake stamp this spring/summer. Pinning this♥
ReplyDeleteYou will have to let me know if you find a nice one! :)
DeleteSo pretty! I wouldn't want to open them. Perhaps you could gradually acquire your supplies over the year with coupons so the cost is more manageable. Consider the stamps & ink as an investment you can use again & again.
ReplyDeleteI love that idea. And, it will give me an excuse to go shopping, like, tomorrow. ;)
DeleteI love the kraft paper ideas, I found some awesome paper at Walmart that was themed this way .... tags included! Hard to believe Christmas is over and all that wonderful wrappin is now in the trash!! But it sure looked good!! :)
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought to try Wal-Mart! I'll have to stop by and see if they have any left. :)
DeleteThey all look so beautifully wrapped! I did ours in kraft paper this year as well and kept it pretty simple, but I love the idea of the pinecones and white accent wrap - I just might have to give that a try next year!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am impressed! Wrapping all of these presents must have taken forever -- but they look so adorable!
ReplyDeleteWho needs a snowflake stamp when those are just absolute perfection?! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI did our own in Kraft paper not long from now also and kept it really basic, however I cherish the thought of the pine cones and white stress wrap - I could very well need to try that out one year from now. christmas ideas for kids
