Pretty up that Christmas wrapping using cheap brown paper and a variety of decorative tape. These wrapping ideas are deceptively simple and affordable, and the end product looks fantastic!
There are a wide variety of Scotch® Expressions Tape available to mix and match for different projects. To make all of the wrapping paper looks in this post, below are the items needed:
- Scotch® Expressions Masking Tape
- Scotch® Expressions Washi Tape
- Scotch® Giftwrap Tape
- Twine
- Scissors
- Brown Craft Paper Roll (availalble at Officeworks, Kmart & BIG W)
- Craft Glue
- Star stickers
1. Big Bow
Materials
Scotch® Expressions Masking Tape
Scotch® Expressions Washi Tape
Scissors
Brown Craft Paper
Craft Glue
Instructions
- To create the bow part of the present, make a ribbon out of Scotch® Expressions Masking Tape by folding the two sticky sides of the tape together. Using this process, create three different sized ribbons, making each one a little smaller than the other. Leave a little sticky section for each ribbon as you fold it over into a circle and secure the end by overlapping the tape.
- Place the three ribbon circles on top of each other, starting from the largest to the smallest.
- Then wrap small piece of tape around the middle to hold it all together. I used a small piece of Scotch® Expressions Washi Tape.
- Wrap Scotch® Expressions Masking Tape around the gift.
- Next, either use a little craft glue or double-sided tape to fasten the blow to the top (craft glue dries quickly and it makes the bow durable).
