I was at a blogging event last week in a cute little shop downtown here in Grand Rapids called Rebel Reclaimed. I love shopping small & local as much as possible even though you know I love my Marshalls & Target, but nothing would ever beat those cute little local boutiques owned by creatives. I bought a lot of cute little things there the other day including a key chain that may have a bad word on it. Hey, I love Jesus, but I do cuss a little bit. My favorite thing I got while shopping there though was this wonderful wrapping paper that I just had to have. Because I like wrapping gifts? Wrong. I actually hate wrapping gifts because I’m so bad at it. I’m more of a gift bag kind of girl. I got it to make some DIY wrapping paper art with it & I’m pretty obsessed…
I mean. The cutest wrapping paper ever right? This is literally the most easy DIY art ever. & the wrapping paper made it easier on me. My plan was to roll the wrapping paper out & cut it to the size that I wanted, but to my surprise it was already pre-cut into sheets. *ANGELS SINGING* I didn’t even have to cut anything, that makes this lazy girls day. I took one of the pre-made sheets off of the roll of wrapping paper & I lined it up on my antique window that I had in my garage. I attached the sheet of wrapping paper on to the window with double-sided tape. Don’t laugh at how easy this project is… just go and do it for your Christmas decor.. like now! This wrapping paper is rifle paper co. [here] just for reference if you want to find it for yourself & you are not local to me.
I placed this art in our entryway on our lockers that I still need to fix up. Hey, that seems like a good job in January right? But this would be so cute hanging in a gallery wall covering other photos just for the season, or on a mantel, or basically anywhere. This art cost be a total of $7 some dollars, but not really because I used only one sheet. So, I’m going to say that it cost me less than a dollar. Yes, cheap, adorable, Christmas art made from wrapping paper. I’m in love. Now, since Jose [craftsmandrive.com] does most of our Christmas wrapping because he’s awesome at it, I hope he likes wrapping gifts with this lovely paper. Love you babe!
I hope you guys loved my DIY wrapping paper art as much as I did. I’m all about affordable DIY art & this one is one of my favorites. Christmas decor isn’t up that long so for big pieces like this to have an affordable option is the best way to create a focal point piece. Thank you guys so much for stopping by my blog today! Let me know what you think of my DIY wrapping paper art in the comments below, find me on Facebook, & chat with me on Instagram. I hope you guys have a great day & that you are enjoying decorating for Christmas! xx

This is so brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing, Liz!
Love!
Glad we aren’t the only household where the husband has the wrapping skills! Anything I try to wrap just looks…sad. 😉
L.O.V.E. your blog and today’s entry hit home as we have two things in common:
1. I, too, use wrapping paper in unexpected ways.
2. And I also have a husband who does all the wrapping as I am seriously challenged in this area.
Have a wonderful holiday!
Just LOVE it . My kind of decorating.
I simply must tell you that you have written an excellent and unique article that I really enjoyed reading. I’m fascinated by how well you laid out your material and presented your views. Thank you.
