Handmade wrapping paper

In one of my recent posts (Christmas tags) I was talking about how I'm wrapping and tagging all my Christmas pressies this year and I mentioned some wrapping paper I made. Well here it finally is, wrapped around a present for my mum. All I did was to print photos of my mum in 2 different sizes, cut them leaving a white edge around some of them so when it comes to sewing them they overlap slightly. And then I've jut sewn them with 3 different coloured threads. Sew them together randomly until you have a piece large enough to wrap your present. Takes a bit of time but it's very easy and looks pretty I think.


Here is a detailed view of the paper ribbons I used, I added a heart for some interest and that's it really.

  2. This is so cool!!! So, it's actually fabric or did you sew on paper?

  3. Awesome wrapping paper, this is such a great idea. Did you print the photos on 'normal' paper or did you used anything special for the printing?
