Holiday Gift Wrapping with Tons of Sparkles

It is such a beautiful time of the year. I am shipping my holiday orders in special boxes and ribbons. My project started by a visit to Jo-an Fabric and Crafts store to buy papers, glue and a matching ribbon. I found this amazing sparkling red paper and a red ribbon. I also made some clear labels with a label maker with my shop's name. I sticked the labels on the paper and cut the red paper same size of the box to cover horizontally. I bought my boxes from Fusion beads. They are made of recycled paper. Then, I tied the boxes with the matching ribbon in a pretty bow.

They are so perfect for holiday gifting. Happy holidays everyone!
