Happy Holidays Free Printable plus Wrapping Idea

The secret to this gift bag is a box of macaroni!

–I wrapped the full box of macaroni (to provide firmness so it’s easier to wrap paper tightly around it) with black construction paper like I was wrapping a present, leaving the top part open.

–I found the lovely black and white lettering Happy Holidays printable. When I printed it, I increased the percentage of the size of the printable so that it filled a sheet of  copy paper. I then adhered it around the box, wrapped some fun yarn around it and tied it in a wispy bow.

–The last step was to remove the box of macaroni and slip in a sheet of tissue paper.

Classy, indeed!

Picture A 

Another cereal box pre-wrapping idea.

These are my simple steps: 

–I cut the lid off the top of the cereal box and put a couple of books inside to make the box firm while I wrapped it

–Just like I was wrapping a gift, I wrapped the box with shiny Dollar Tree wrapping paper and tucked the excess paper into the open top, taping it inside the box.

— Next I printed the lovely winter scene scene (source) on white card stock and trimmed it, leaving a white frame around the picture

–With a pencil, I free-handed a wavy line from one side of the picture to the other and then cut across that line.

–I adhered the two pieces to the box separately, leaving a slight space between them with the red paper showing through.

–Finally, I took the books out of the box and used four brads–one in each corner–to add a final touch. I didn’t have black brads so I painted them with black nail polish 🙂

But wait! There’s more!

Picture B

Did you wonder why I left the space between the top and bottom portions of the print?

Look at Picture A, and then look at Picture B. What do you see different?

Yup! A handy-dandy slot to place a To/From gift tag with a slip of twine to pull it out!
