DIY gift wrapping paper

One of the greatest joys of giving a gift to someone you love is wrapping it up so prettily and watching them ooo and ahhh over it. So today I thought I'd get a jump start on Christmas buy making my own hand stamped paper.

I'm gonna cut open a normal paper bag (size is up to you)

If you're fresh out of paper bags you can buy a roll of mailing paper. Dollar Tree usually has some.

Lay it out flat,I didn't care if it still had fold lines if you do iron it out on a dry setting. Then gather your stamps, pads, pens, and other writing implements.
I chose white & red stamp pads with snowflake and do not open till December 25th stamp.

Next step is simple, just stamp, draw, or write on your paper. Any idea works for whatever you need it for.

Since this is for Christmas and I have no presents to wrap I can't show you my pretty wrapped gift. But just think of all the endless possibilities there are with this idea. no more will you have to run out and get wrapping paper for the only wedding you've been to. No one will ask if you used the same paper for birthday's year after year, and everyone will be talking about how AWESOME you are.  So go on now and get your wrap on!
