Three creatively wrapped gifts with gold paper, one featuring cut-out star shapes, and personalized messages, arranged against a dark background.

My Sunday has been spend on the gift wrapping. Which I love most when it comes to gift giving! Fortunately this year my family have expanded so I have even more gifts to give. So here is my another idea on gift wrapping. It includes layering like many others I have done in the past ;-).

Three neatly wrapped gifts in brown paper, two on the bottom and one on top, featuring a gift tag and decorative ribbon.

To begin you will need wrapping paper in two colours (one of them can be a sheet of colour paper), Sellotape, double-sided tape, scissors, pencil, scalpel and cutting mat.

  1. Cover the gift with the piece of paper and secure it on with the Sellotape.
  2. Measure enough of wrapping paper for the second layer (this one has to cover all around the gift). Mark the outskirts of the gift itself using the pencil.
  3. Inside the marked area draw what you would like to cut out. I used star cookie cutter to draw lots of stars! But you can also draw other shapes as well as the letters to complete the words and phrases ;-).

4. Cut out what you have drawn!

5. Wrap the cut out paper around the gift, making sure the cut-outs cover the other paper layer.

6. Finish off the gift with some washi tape, ribbon or a matching gift tag!
