Christmas is next week! Eek! I’m scrambling to get gifts wrapped and sent to the out-of-towners, there are just not enough hours in the day! I recently received a sneak peek of a limited edition gift wrap kit that’s a collaboration between Darby Smart and Gap and was challenged to create something fun, easy, and pretty! Game on. It’s a great set of supplies to create a whole bunch of pretty gifts! Your can get your own free with a $50 purchase at 350 Gap stores nationwide, or head to Darby Smart and pick up a kit there (they’re offering free shipping right now)! Here’s what I came up with:
Gift Wrap Kit Materials
- Kraft paper
- Baker’s Twine
- Silver marker
- Silver glitter adhesive tape
- Gift tags, paper and wooden
#1 Glittery and Modern
Use glitter tape as ribbon and create a pattern on your package. Use any of the tags for a pretty and modern feel.
#2 Design Your Own Paper!
Use the silver pen to create your own wrapping paper design!
I practiced a few easy phrases on scrap paper before writing it on my wrapping paper.
Finish off with twine wrapped around the box 5-6 times and a tag.
#3 Wooden Tags and Glitter
Decorate the wooden tag with wash tape and the silver marker to create some pretty and festive. I finished this off package off with some velvet ribbon from my stash for a dash of sophistication.
I’d love to see how you style your gift wrap kits! Tag #gapxdarbysmart on social media to share your ideas and inspire others this season!
