How to Gift Wrap with Toodles Noodles

If you are like me, my gift wrapping skills are not that great, I usually settle for a nice bag to put my presents in. Lucky for us the talented Liora, who designs and makes her own gift wrap, shares her amazing gift wrapping skills with us. Just follow along step by step below.

Gift Wrapping 101:
  1. Pick out your paper. Liora used her confetti, follow the arrow and New Zealand floral paper for this DIY.
  2. A pair of scissors
  3. Gift tags
  4. Tape
  5. Ribbon or twine
  6. Imagination and patience and maybe some music for inspiration

With her New Zealand flora paper tutorial, Liora added a pop of color, by adding a red piece of fabric on top of the paper. TN-58

Follow the Arrow: This tutorial is my favorite. I am a big fan of this playful pattern and check out the whole gift wrap kit here. Those fun arrows on top are cupcake toppers.

You may not want to open up these packages. They just look too good!
Now you should be a gift wrapping expert. With some fun paper, some cool accessories and a bit of imagination you can create packages that really stand out. A big thanks to Liora for sharing her wrapping skills. If you love her paper she also has lots of other goodies in her shop: tote bags, tea towels, note cards and more. She also has a fun blog.
