It's a Wrap-a Green one

Last year, I was published for wrapping a gift in felt and a dryer sheet.  If you didn't see it, you can see it here.  

I love to wrap the outside of the package, with clues to what is inside ;D.    I thought I would share with you~

Here is a gift for my daughter(now I have to hope n' pray she doesn't get online and see my blog).   She did pick out some jewelry she wanted, so I am sure she won't be surprised by this gift.  I did want to make it fun.  Teens love trends-my daughter is sixteen.  I decided to use an older magazine she had.  She had given me a few to recycle.  I tore out an ad inside to wrap her gift.

I grabbed some Eyelash yarn and a box.  

 I cut some of the yarn, which I will reuse and tucked it inside a jewelry gift box.

This was one of those trendy bracelets daughter had on her WISH list!

Here I tore a page out of the magazine! I thought this would be pretty n' festive~ 

 NOW, go in a well ventilated area and put down some newspaper.   I usually do this outside.  I used spray glue and then aligned the magazine page on the box.

 

 I didn't wait long enough for the spray glue to dry!  So, when I cut the edges-this end

puckered.  I can fix it...

NOW,  using Aleene's Tacky Glue I added some pretty gold trim.  YOU could use two sided tape, if you prefer.

 WE need a bow. I grabbed some black tulle.

 Here I tied a bow using the tulle and added a Cameo pin.

The pin is part of the gift~

(I don't like it-it's fussy!) 

I think Chanel would like this one better ;D

 A simple bow and a red bell~ta dah!

For son, I grabbed one of his magazine and tore out a page!

 

 I used this image to remind him-he needs to manage his time online! Oops, I need to do the same, lol.

Here I used black tulle and a bit of the gold trim.

I hope he likes it! 

This is an exercise dvd for my daughter-

Not sure if it takes #21 days to form a new habit?!

I tore out another magazine page!

I love the positive message on this page!

Sometimes one page isn't enough. You can tape them together to give you more gift wrap.

I glued on some gold time to highlight the YOU~

And tied on a black tulle bow.

 I cut a star out of cardboard! Now add a bit of acrylic paint to jazz it up~

 I also painted some in gold!

Let's try a different look!

MUCH better!

Here I added some blue tulle to the black and added a Moon n' Star button~

Have fun wrapping presents and use what you have on hand!  You will be surprised, how festive and fun YOUR packages will look!!!
