Valentine's Day has me over the moon as I get to create even more appealing gift packaging! Gift giving to your beloved has never been more adorable (or effortless) with these two simple Valentine's Day gift wrapping concepts. Chances are, you already possess all the necessary materials.
Check out the instructions for both the heart-shaped gift wrap cutout and the eraser heart stamp gift wrap below!
Heart cut out gift wrap:
Materials:
x-acto knife
cardstock (or business card)
pencil or pen
scissors
wrapping paper
cutting board
secondary color paper (I chose glitter scrapbook paper)
Instructions:
Make a template of a heart on a business card and cut it out.
With a pencil, use your template to trace around it all over on your wrapping paper. Use a ruler if you want them evenly spaced. (I used a Sharpie in this tutorial so you can see the trace better).
With your x-acto knife, cut around one side of the heart from the top to the tip of the bottom.
Fold the heart over.
Because the glitter paper was so thick I cheated and cut out a strip of paper to line along the backside of the kraft paper gift wrap. If I were to make it super nice I’d probably line the back of the kraft paper. But, then again, I probably wouldn’t.
Tape it down.
Repeat on all the hearts.
DONE!
Eraser heart stamp gift wrap
Materials:
scissors
x-acto
pen
wrapping paper (I used red art paper instead)
stamp pad
Instructions:
Draw a heart with your pen on the eraser of your pencil.
Make simple incisions with your x-acto to chisel the heart. The fewer strokes the better. Cut it down about halfway down the eraser.
Stamp away! To get dimension stamp 2 or 3 hearts at a time so the seconds appear fainter.
All set! Don't you agree that those are some of the most straightforward ideas you've come across? And since you probably have all the materials on hand, Valentine's Day gift wrapping has never been this effortless!
