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!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I love the white pen effect with the pure white creatures and craft paper background.
ReplyDeleteKJ,
ReplyDeleteThank 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.

ReplyDeleteSo classy, Jessica, bravo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea, and the finished product is gorgeous! Happy holidays to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute and great idea! What white pen do you use?
ReplyDeleteAlvina,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
