How to Make Custom Gift Wrap

Today I am sharing with you how to make custom gift wrap.  This is so easy to make and is a fun way to create some fun, and unique gift wrap…and it is easier than you might think.  I thought it would be fun to make some DIY Heart Paper and wrap up a little Valentine’s Day gift for a friend and this heart paper adds a little extra personal touch.

To get started, you will need the following materials:

Freezer Paper

Parchment Paper

Colored Tissue Paper (I used pink and red)

Iron

Scissors

Directions:

1. Cut out hearts (or whatever shape you want) in your colored tissue paper.
2. Take a large sheet of freezer paper (enough for your gift wrap) and place it shiny side up.
3. Place your cut out tissue hearts onto the shiny side of the freezer paper and spread out in a pattern you like.
4. Take a sheet of parchment paper and place it carefully on top of the hearts on the freezer paper.
5. Iron the parchment paper.  The parchment paper will prevent the sticky substance on the freezer paper from getting on your iron.  The tissue hearts will adhere to the freezer paper from the heat of the iron.  *Be sure to turn off the steam setting on the iron.
6. Iron the entire paper and let cool.
7. Your wrap is ready to be used.
