hand printed wrapping paper






















I love paper. I love patterns. I love opening presents.

The other day when I sold few items from my etsy shop I decided to gift wrap them even if they were not presents. Why?

Because in this way those products are extra-special.

Obiously I didn't want to use any store bought paper (don't have any in the house) so I hand printed some paper I usually use for doodles. I used some small triangle stamps I carved from rubber ages ago and my favorite ink. I added one of my handmade postcard as a small gift and voilĂ !

From now on all purchases in my shop will be sent off gift wrapped.

How do you wrap your creations when you send them off?

  1. Turns out, I enjoy giving presents more than receiving them, and the wrapping part is by far my favorite.

    I use white wrapping paper (like butcher's paper, but white, very basic stuff) and scraps of paper that I've saved (kraft, usually). Then use nature-inspired tape and matching ribbon. My packages tend to a have a fairly minimalist look, at the end.

    Yours is perfect! I'd love to be the one receiving such a pretty package.
