One thing I like about christmas season is the gift wrapping part. I had few blog posts about gift wrapping in different ways. My fascination to it lead me in designing my own gift wrapper. I guess, gift giving is a simple way of making someone happy. The excitement of opening a gift reminds us of our childhood. But to me, I want to give that excitement not only when the gift is already opened but even without knowing what’s inside yet already gives them the same feeling.
If you have been following my Instagram: @iam_artisan or blog, you’d see how I like simple and functional DIY‘s and I use materials that can easily be found.
If you haven’t started your gift wrapping yet or you need another inspiration, here are few simple lettering ideas for gift wrapping.
