Origami Dove
Each year I like to choose a theme for my Christmas gift wrap. This year I decided to incorporate origami pieces into the wrapping as a picture. The gifts were wrapped with basic brown craft paper. Once the gift was wrapped, I drew directly onto the package with a white paint pen. And for the final touch, I added an origami piece made from metallic paper. The gifts came out fairly close to my vision. If I had more time, I would have changed a few things but it is just wrapping after all. I know this will all be ripped away in a matter of weeks so I can't be too picky. Plus, I still have more gifts to wrap.

I love your themed wrappings! The origami touch is perfect. I am giving your book to my daughter for Chrustmas. She just started origami club at school so it is perfect. Happy Advent!
How beautiful! I love the white pen effect with the pure white creatures and craft paper background.
KJ,
Thank you for the kind words and your support :) I hope she enjoys the book
Bravo!!! I love you creative ideas. I did this years ago with brown paper and fabric appliques. You are right...it all gets ripped off so it is not wise to put hours into each gift. I love the white origami idea. I may adapt it to greeting cards next year. I love your blog and wish you and your beautiful family a joyous Christmas.

So classy, Jessica, bravo!
What a clever idea, and the finished product is gorgeous! Happy holidays to you and your family!
Super cute and great idea! What white pen do you use?
Alvina,
I used an Elmer's Painters marker. If you're going to try this, make sure your paper is thick enough so the paint doesn't run through onto the actual package.
