Gifts are a wonderful way to cultivate relationships with friends and family. While handmade gifts seem to convey our wishes in the best way, handmade gift wraps are equally impressive. I love it when a friend or family member gifts something handmade to me. It shows how much they care. Gift wraps add another personal touch to the gift. I go through all my craft supplies every time I plan to give a gift to someone and will try to come up with something original and handmade for gift wrapping. The receiver's appreciation on that extra bit of effort makes it all worth it.
Sharing small collections of DIYs from over the internet is so my thing! So here I have come up with a collection of the 30 best gift wrap DIY from around the internet. They are simple, quick, fun to follow and to look at; but best of all, most of them are really cheap to make.
Have fun with this collection, and if you like making these gift wraps, please hit the share button! :)
