And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his
back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
Wrapping
presents is either a task people love to do or hate to do. Some people are
super creative and skilled at wrapping, and then some people aren’t so much.
Well, this week we are going to show you how to make your own wrapping paper
and how to wrap presents. We’ve also included some examples of our homemade
gift tags that we made to sell at the craft fairs. It’s really easy to make the
gifts tags, just hunt through your scraps of cardstock and find some festive
stamps, punches, and ribbons and then put on your favorite TV show or movie and
make a bunch of gift tags. They can be as simple or as elaborate as you want to
make them.
To make the
wrapping paper you’ll need to find a roll of newsprint or brown paper bags work
as well. You can get the kids involved for this. Pull out some markers and
stamps and color and stamp away. There are no rules or guide to making the
wrapping paper. Fill the paper up as much or as little as you like. Go with
lots of colors or keep it simple with just black ink.
Below we
have a picture guide to show you the steps in how to wrap your presents with all
that wrapping paper that you created. Add some bows or ribbon like we did and
you will have a present that will look like it was done by a pro!
