Good quality wrapping paper is so expensive to buy and can get quite pricey especially if you have a lot of presents to wrap.

I always try and wrap all of my gifts with love and care and always try and put a little “craftiness” into it.

A piece of cheap wrapping paper can be transformed into something elegant and quite expensive looking by using Fiskars punches.

This is how I did mine:

1. Wrap your present using a plain wrapping paper.
2. Cut two strips of decorative paper (approx 10cm wide) and long enough to wrap around your parcel.
3. Using an Embossing Border Punch, create two decorative borders and wrap around your parcel.
4. Embellish with ribbons.

Voila..a beautiful wrapped present that someone will be thrilled to receive!

Merry Christmas everyone.xx
