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!

DIY Ring Bearer Pillow Tutorials

By now, everyone should know how I feel about overpriced stuff that can be easily made on your own.

Making your own ring bearer pillows will be so much more personalized than buying a mass-produced one. It will be a lot cheaper too! You want your wedding to be original, right?

Lucky for me, I have two ring bearers, so I get to make two! Yay!

Here are some great tutorials that I’ve come across in my search for making my own. When I get around to making my own, I will be sure to post my tutorial and plenty of photos! :) For now, just click on the photos below to go to a tutorial that interests you.
