HOLIDAY DIY | Chalkboard Snowflake Gift Wrap

To continue this month's holiday theme, I have collaborated with Midori Ribbon to create a gift wrap DIY. Check out their amazing collection of specialty wrapping paper and ribbon (here). So many beauties! Below, I show you how to make a chalkboard DIY snowflake gift, an easy and adorable way to update any present.  Have fun! Full tutorial after the break...

Materials: 

- Midori wrapping paper (here and here)

- Midori velvet ribbon 

- paper doily (here) 

- chalkboard paint (here)

- sticker paper (here)

- scissors 

- paintbrush 

- colored pencil 

- lid or cup

- clear tape 

- e6000 adhesive

 - baker's twine (here)

- chalk

 Steps: 

1. Paint a square onto the sticker paper, using the chalkboard paint, a little larger that the solid white area of your paper doily.  Let fully dry.

2. Find a lid or cup that creates a circle that fits within the white solid area of the paper doily.  Then, trace around the lid/cup using a colored pencil.

3. Cut out the circle.

4. Stick the chalkboard circle onto the center of the doily.

5. Write a little message using chalk.

6. Wrap your present using your wrapping paper.

7. You can add a little fun with velvet ribbon.  Cut two lengths, 7" and 1 3/4".

8. For 7" piece, add a dab of e6000 at the end of the ribbon.

9. Glue the other side down, and hold in place for 30 seconds to lock in the glue, to create a circle.

10. Pinch the circle in the middle, wrap the smaller piece of velvet ribbon around the center, and glue in place. For the other gift, I added wrapped baker's twine several times around the height and width, then finished it with a bow.
