I neglected to take pics along the way but it’s pretty straightforward.
I just made a medallion, lolly, pinwheel, whatever you want to call it from my scrap wrapping paper. ( Fan fold either one long piece or two smaller pieces cut the same size ) and make your basic medal-lollly-wheel.
I punched a circle from some scrap glitter cardstock and added a metallic pom pom from my stash. You could add another medallion, a die cut, a different punched shape, button etc. Great way to use up leftovers and onesies.
I tried this idea as a more 3-D concept too:
I call this the “half lolly” . Sounds like a diving term!
Instead of bringing the two sides together to form a circle, I just taped them straight to the package so it stands up.

I love this idea - and I'm definitley going to be trying it while wrapping presents tonight. My girls and I have been "painting" our wrapping paper this year. Grandma's heart is going to melt when she sees her gift with her grandbabies hand prints all over it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea -

I'm coming off a (really bad) 24 hour bug and this gives me some motivation to start some wrapping!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful, Carol! I hate those little scraps of paper, but I hate throwing them away even more...;)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, sweet girl!
Great idea, Carol!! I love this simple way to dress up gifts without a lot of work! Definitely what I need right now. :)
ReplyDeleteThese wrappings and decorations are lovely and make all the difference to the giving of presents. I would hate for you to see mine....xmas paper, rosette, sticky back label and loads of selotape.........lol xx
ReplyDeleteLoving your package toppers!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I can never make bows, so I am always looking for creative alternatives. I also love this because I always have little scraps of wrapping paper left over. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome ideas! I wish I had thought of it LOL Glad you shared this because I always feel guilty about throwing away those left over strips ;)
