Make Your Own Custom Christmas Gift Wrapping Paper

Every year countless amounts of time and money are spent trying to find the newest most popular Christmas gifts. Making your gifts unique and meaningful can be a difficult proposition. It is not always about the amount spent, although most people seem to think it is. Meaningful gifts are directly proportional to the amount of time and thought put into them.

 

The way the gift is wrapped is an often overlooked aspect of Christmas presents. Some well thought out, personalized wrapping paper can often turn a mediocre gift into a memorable one.

 

I will now walk you through the steps of how to make your very own custom Christmas gift wrapping paper.

 

 

1)      Decide who the present is for. With many different styles and designs to choose from, you want to make sure that the recipient is accurately represented in the style of wrap that you choose. (ex. For a child, a spaceship or fire truck design is perfect. For his/her mom, a slightly more elegant design would be suitable)

 

2)      Decide if you want to personalize the Christmas wrapping paper with a single picture repeated, multiple pictures, or no picture at all. Most personalized wrapping paper styles are designed to accommodate one of these choices. Once again, depending on the recipient, one may be more appropriate then another.

 

3)      Decide what you want to say. Is this going to be funny? Or is it sweet? Reminiscent? Or sentimental? There are many different avenues you can take. If you will be giving multiple presents, it might be a good idea to make a few different rolls.

 

4)      Decide what goal you are trying to accomplish with your wrapping paper. If you want to make your gift unique or more meaningful, that will be accomplished with little effort. If you are making custom wrapping paper to differentiate whose presents belong to whom on Christmas morning, pictures might be the way to go. (hint – a good example of this can be seen here)   

 

5)      Get a list of all the people who you would like to give custom Christmas wrapping paper to, and make them all in one shot.

 

6)      A great place to find personalized Christmas wrapping paper is GiftSkins.com. They have a great Christmas section. (hint – birthday, any occasion, or other categories often contain designs that can also be configured into wonderful Christmas paper. Do not limit yourself!)

 

7)      Give your presents and be prepared for the questions. Where did you get this? How did you do this? How did you think of something so amazing!? Why are you so smart, thoughtful, and wonderful!?

 

Give yourself a pat on the back for thinking of such a good idea. Enjoy your presents, family time, and holidays. Merry Christmas!!!
