Since my tags had a fun feel to them this year, I wanted my wrapping to as well. I picked up solid lime green and solid red wrapping paper at Hobby Lobby, in the regular wrapping section. I had Kraft wrapping paper already at home, to supplement if I ran out of the bright colors. I had a vision of white ribbons running around the packages, but when I was walking through Michael's Friday night and saw this stuff, I knew it would be PERFECT for the look I was going for!
I mean Puff Ball Holidays? Come on, if that doesn't scream fun I don't know what does! The best thing about this stuff? It was only like $3.99 for a HUGE package. I had plenty to do all of our gifts.
Here's what I ended up coming up with:
Adding this puff pall ribbon/yarn stuff was so quick and easy and it added the perfect fun embellishment to all of our gifts! Don't they look like little snowballs?
I have two gift card holders I need to make, but I'm not sure what look I'm going for on those yet. One is for Abie's teacher, a boy :) I have such a hard time with male papercraft gifts.
Have a great Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by today to see me and I'll see you tomorrow with another project :)
sooooo jealous that you are all done!!! i am going to try to get hubby to take the kids somewhere this weekend so that I can wrap and get started on everything. yours look awesome
ReplyDeleteOh wow - your packages are so pretty! I saw some yarn like that and couldn't quite figure out how that turns into something other than puff balls on a string. I love this idea! It looks so cool. Maybe I'll think twice the next time I see it. :)
ReplyDeletePretty packages-that puff stuff looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the puff balls, how cute is that? I'm totally impressed that you are done and wrapped. I'm not even done shopping, in fact, barely started!
ReplyDeleteI love the puff snowballs! They are so pretty, and they add a perfect touch to those packages!

ReplyDeleteSuper cool, love that ribbon/yarn. Totally looks like snowballs! What a fun idea. I'm torturing my children and not tagging anything until they go to bed Christmas Eve this year :0)Maverick, being 16, is totally fine with it and said it was a great idea so we are going with it. I think he likes to torture his brothers more than I do :0) Hugs!
