Ever need some quick packaging and don't want to settle for ho-hum? Don't have exactly what you want either? Can't stand the thought of running down to the Hallmark Store?
No worries! We are paper crafters, after all! Raid your stash!
I wrapped this gift box with some simple craft wrapping papers and Little Yellow Bicycle's Acorn Hollow collection.
Don't forget your punches! Try layering a punched strip of paper for a decorating base. A chipboard frame with a co-ordinated paper inside is just the ticket to something interesting.
Finish it off with loopy bows in raffia and tulle. Adding a few more chipboard shapes is a fun touch for the center.
Finally, don't forget a tag! The Little Yellow Bicycle journal cards make adorable little tags! They are perfect for so much more than just journaling!
Tip: The raffia is actually a raffia looking ribbon. I like it much better than actual raffia. It comes on a roll, so you never have those weird kinks that yousometimes find with raffia. You can find it in your local craft stores. Look in the section with the curling ribbons.
