Fun Gift Wrapping Paper Using Your Cricut Machine

Looking to add a touch of creativity to your gift-giving this season? With your Cricut machine in hand, wrapping gifts can be as fun and personalized as the presents inside! This blog post will guide you through creating eye-catching and festive gift wrap that’s sure to impress. Whether you're a Cricut pro or just getting started, you’ll find everything you need to turn plain brown paper into a dazzling holiday delight. 

Materials:

• Paper in black, red, yellow, green and blue
• Cricut Vinyl in white
• Cricut Tools Set
• Cricut Transfer Paper
• Brown kraft paper
• Twine|string|yarn
• Glue
• Tape

Directions:

Start by covering your gift package with plain brown kraft paper. Secure the edges with tape to create a smooth, clean surface for decorating.

Add a charming touch by wrapping the package with twine or string. Simply secure it around the gift, tying a bow or knot to give it a rustic finish.

Select a festive Christmas lightbulb design from Cricut Access or navigate directly to this project for a hassle-free option. Christmas Lights #M4C2B7DC0, available with your Cricut Access subscription, is ideal for adding a cheerful touch to your gift wrap.

Begin your project by cutting out the lightbulb base from black scrapbook paper. Then, use bright red, yellow, green, and blue scrapbook paper to create the colorful lightbulbs. For a personalized touch, cut out the recipient's name from white vinyl.

To assemble the light bulbs, use craft glue or double-stick tape to attach each colorful bulb to the black base. Once assembled, carefully position and adhere the decorated lightbulbs to the wrapped package. 

Carefully remove the excess vinyl around the cut-out name using your preferred weeding tool. Once you've weeded out the unnecessary parts, use Cricut Transfer Tape to lift the name from its backing. Position the name on your wrapped gift and press down firmly to ensure it adheres properly.

And there you have it - a simple way to jazz up your gift wrapping with your Cricut machine! By adding a splash of color and a personal touch, you’ve turned ordinary brown kraft paper into a festive work of art. Whether you're gearing up for the holidays or just want to make any occasion a little more special, this project is a fantastic way to show your creativity and care. Happy wrapping, and may your gifts bring as much joy as the wrapping itself!
