DIY Gift Wrapping for Valentine's Day
vday wrapping 2
When the holidays are over I always look forward to the next time I am going to be able to wrap gifts. Besides the fact that Valentine's Day is way too much fun...I mean it's a day dedicated to eating chocolate, getting flowers, and wearing as much pink as possible...it's also a reason to get creative and buy something for the people you love. I made these really fun burlap heart headbands and since I went a little paint-crazy I made too many hearts so I thought it would be fun to use them on gift tags and wrapping paper. It's an east way to make gifts look extra special. I love starting with brown kraft paper as a blank canvas and using my imagination. These are 4 simple wrapping ideas!
DIY gift wrapping for Valentine's Day
Pink Painted Hearts
*Wrap the box with brown kraft paper
*Use a small paint brush to paint on small pink hearts; I used Martha Stewart acrylic craft paint
*Then I wrapped it with pretty red ribbon. Normally I suggest using tulle or wired ribbon, but this frilly ribbon was too pretty not to use.
