Hi!
I am not the kind of person who has gift wrappers in stock – They often got crinkled up if I kept them too long..LOL..
I have found love with scrappy quilt, scrappy patches.. so today I am going to share you a tutorial for making your own gift wrap out of magazines pages… “the scrappy style”.
Requirements:
You’ll need transparent tape, Scissors and magazine pages. Choose those ones that have lots of colours, or even themed like Christmas or Fall whatever the season may be.
1. Cut the first piece according to your preference, possibly remove some texts.
2. Piece two pieces together at one side using the transparent tape. Don’t overlap too much.
3. Trim away the excess. You want new smooth sides.
4. Do a couple of pieces like this. Piecing two pieces together and trimming.
5. Then you’ll want to tape together the pieced segments together, making a larger patched piece.
6. Again, trim every time you piece them together, making sure you have all smooth straight sides.
7. Repeat until your wrapper is large enough. You may need to piece three pieces together at one point, just so that it is large enough to cover the sides of the enlarged piece.
8. Trim the final piece and
9. Use it!
I really do love the merry look of the wrapper. You can even customize it to have images that suits the person who’ll receive it.
Most magazines have pretty decent paper-weight and shine, making it the perfect medium to work with when wrapping too!
Have fun trying it!
