DIY Gift Packaging Tutorials

Holy Packaging Batman! There are so many tutorials for this subject – it’s crazy! I tried to sort all of my findings the best I could, so please refer to the contents section below if you’re looking for something in particular. I can’t believe I found so many – I’ve been wrapping my gifts horribly for my entire life, I had no CLUE how to tie a bow, and there are a ton of things that you can reuse for packaging! I hope this really helps – here we go!

Oh! But first – here are 101 links from TipNut for Gift Tags, Toppers, and Wraps. Check it out!

For gift tags, check out my previous post: DIY Gift Tag Tutorials

DIY Scarf Tutorials

I hate the winter. I really do – it’s cold, I act even more like a shut-in than I already do, and it takes me a good 15 minutes to prepare myself to venture out into the cold. Luckily, scarves help. I can wrap them around half of my face, so they’re pretty awesome. Not to mention, most scarves are somewhat of a fashion statement, so that’s a bonus!

Yeah – I love scarves. They pretty much rule. Here are some tutorials for making your perfect scarf!
