You Will Need (6 things)

  • Sewing Machine
  • Paper Scissors
  • or Stamps
  • Stencil
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Paper Bag

Steps (6 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start by laying out your gifts the way you want to wrap them. This will help you to gain a general idea on shape and size of each of your packages.

  2. 2

    Cut open your paper bag (I cut open one side and removed the bottom which was too thick to be very useful).

  3. 3

    When you cut out your paper, make sure to cut it out with lots of extra room so you can sew without it getting stuck in your machine.

  4. 4

    Use stencils or stamps to decorate your paper. I made my stencils out of an old card I had laying around- you could also make your own stamps using a potato- I thought this might be the safest way to go for me though. It was less likely I'd cut myself making a stencil.

  5. 5

    Fold your paper in half and sew up two of the open sides of your paper. Make sure to leave one side open for you to place your gift in. I used a long zig-zag stitch and red thread for my packages.

  6. 6

    Place your gift in your package and sew up the remaining side.
    And that's it! you're done!
