They always say “don’t judge a book by its cover” but that is never said about the wrapping on a gift. When it comes to food they say “presentation is everything” or “if it looks good, then it will taste good”, well wouldn’t that apply to presents as well? Well, if you are in a holiday gift wrapping slump, take a look at these gift wrapping ideas to get the juices running again. Have fun with it and get creative!

My sister in law, who just happens to be my best friend (yes…best friends married brothers…I know, I know…dream come true!!) made me this photo collage for us as a wedding gift. She used our wedding invitation as a focal point and collaged around it. I absolutely love it!
So when I received another friends invitation in the mail, I knew I had to make one for her too. I hope she loves hers as much as I do mine. I found this frame at Goodwill for $0.99. After I took it all apart, I knew it had great potential.
I glued a 1inch thick piece of Styrofoam to the back of the wedding invitation, then glued it to the center of the background. This not only made it a focal point of the frame but gave a neat 3D / shadow box look. I then surrounded the invitation with pictures of the couple and the engagement ring. I also used different cutouts with quotes and cool patterns on it. Her wedding colors were Lilac and Brown so I tried to keep that as my color template throughout the collage. After I had completely covered the background with pictures, I put the frame back together. This project was super simple and a lot of fun!
I’m still new at this tutorial thing, hence not many pictures. The project is pretty self-explanatory but I will try to do better on my next project and give you more pictures.
