Pastel & Personalize Your Presents

Pastel Your Presents

I’m a sucker for letters. I love the look of a singular letter and thought it would be a great way to personalize my Christmas presents this year. I really like the way these pretty presents turned out. This is a Kelly-proof DIY which means it’s easy, painless and fun- a must for me these days.

Pasteling Your Presents- what you need

Here’s What You Need: 

1. A cute roll of metallic wrapping paper (I picked up these faux bois and polka dot numbers at Target)

2. A colorful pop of ribbon and maybe a black and white striped one too (found at Paper Source)

3. Stencil set (Paper Source)

4. Oil pastel crayons (Paper Source)

5. Self-adhesive label paper, you can buy this pre-cut in pretty shapes or just plain sheets that you can cut. I went for the natural brown paper, looks great against the metallic wrapping paper. (Paper Source)

6. Scissors and tape.

Here’s What You Do: 

1. Wrap your present

2. Stencil the first or last initial or the recipient’s name on a sheet of label paper.

3. Cut out the stenciled label if you don’t have pre-cut labels.

4. Stick the stenciled label on your gift.

5. Tie a pretty ribbon around it.

6. Ta-to-the-Da! You may have a hard time giving this one up and seeing it ripped to shreds, but they’ll love it.
