Aloha Sprinklerinos,
If you follow me on YouTube then this might not be news to you but I know some of you are strictly the reading sort, so I'm sharing here too. Sharing's caring after all!
I recently made a couple of videos about Christmas wrapping - things I used, styles I make, bits and bobs I like etc. I was really pleased at how well they were received and have been having a lorra lorra messages asking where certain things were bought from.
A great deal of my wrapping products were either pieces I had floating about already or from Marks and Spencer. I must say, I bought from M&S because I was there and I was in a rush. It definitely was not the most purse friendly option!!
I decided it might be a good idea to source some wrapping essentials and luxuries for you and for most of this, I turned to my old pal, ebay! Ebay is a treasure trove of everything you could ever need to make your gifts beautiful this year.
Christmas Craft Supplies :
A Christmas staple for me is 10 Metres of Brown Parcel Paper for £2.95 and FREE postage.
Christmas Double Satin Ribbon for 99p to wrap round your paper.
You could attach some of these little Silver Jingle Bells (£2.30 for 70) to your ribbon to add a bit of festive glamour.
Making pompoms like I did? This seller has balls of every colour (tehe) for only £1.49.
Lace (99p) is perfect for little girls or ladies gifts.
If you want to add something a little cute, why not try this Mini Reindeer Stamp Cutter for £2.25?

And of course, SELLOTAPE and Rainbow Star Confetti!

ReplyDeleteWrapping is real guilty pleasure of mine, so odd! But I have stolen your idea of brown paper and have jazzed it up with green and red ribbons. Cheap but looks so vintage and cute :) Thanks Louise!

I love christmas and wrapping is one of my favourite parts quite like yours, but I can never figure out how to do it! This is really helpful as there are lots of ideas that I may considering using. I like these everyday posts you do and think there are some great bits of info and other ideas. Please do more christmas orientated stuff on the lead up! I can imagine your house being a winter wonderland/ christmas grotto!
