Merry Gift Wrap

Make your own gorgeous paper banners for your gifts this Christmas! This is a great project to use up left over scrapbook paper (left over gift wrap can also be used instead of scrapbook paper). Customise the banner for any occasion by selecting different paper and twine.

Project by Kelly Hedgespeth.

Step 1: Gather your materials

For this project you will need:

• Glue Dots Ultra-Thin Dots
• Christmas Scrapbook Paper
• Thickers Letter Stickers
• Twine
• Scissors

Step 2: Wrap twine around your gift

Wrap the twine around the gift several times. Pull the ends tightly into a double know at the back of the gift. Snip off the ends.

Step 3: Apply Glue Dots to the Gift

Slide the double knot to the side and add two Ultra-Thin Dots to the gift. Move the twine over the top of the Ultra-Thin Dots and press down firmly so the twine stays in place.

Step 4: Make the pennants

Cut the paper into 5 inch long by 2.5 inch wide rectangles. Fold the pieces of paper in half. The folded papers will now be 2.5 inch square.

Use another piece of scrap paper to cut a triangle to use as a guide for cutting.

Line up the base of the triangle to the folded edge of each 2.5 inch square paper and use the triangle as a guide to cut out the pennants for the banner.

Step 5: Add letter stickers & fold

Add the letter stickers to the pennants to spell out MERRY.

For each pennant, add two Ultra-Thin Dots near the fold of the pennant and one near the point.

Then fold the pennant over the middle of the twine and press the two sides of the paper together.

Step 5: Add pennants to the twine

Add the pennants to the twine starting with the middle letter of the word. This spaces the middle correctly and then work out to the ends.
