Freebie Friday: Wrapping Paper
Have you ever had a last minute gift to come up and no suitable wrapping paper? Or just someone who you cannot find the perfect wrapping paper for? I have.
I have gifts on the mind since Heather's Harry Potter Party is tonight. While I didn't worry about not having suitable wrapping paper this time, I thought it was a good idea to share with you since you never know what will pop up.
Have you ever thought about printing wrapping paper? Yeah, from your computer.
Now, of course, I wouldn't recommend this for big gifts simply because of the cost of ink. Granted it would build up over time, but if you just need a quick bit of wrapping paper, why not just print it? It sure beats going to the store for it.
The website I was thinking of has been taken down, but of course Pinterest saved the day. There are also plenty of results on Google. I would think that you could also make your own just as easily. (Maybe with a little help from Pic Monkey?)
Trinkets in Bloom has this great tutorial for actually making wrapping paper if you have time in advance. This would be adorable for Christmas time!
So there you have it. If you're in a bind, just print some wrapping paper! If you have to wrap for a lot of people and the price just adds up, you can always make pretty paper yourself.
