Download - Digital Paper Pad - Gift Wrapping - Santa's Sleigh Traditional

This fabulous Printable Heaven digital Christmas Gift Wrapping pad contains 12 co-ordinating A4 images that have been designed to make up gift tags, tag envelopes, a sweetie bag and gift box.

For the bag, you can print this onto plain printer paper, or cream if you want a more retro look. Emboss all the lines with an embossing tool as above and fold each one. The bag is a gusseted bag such as you get in the cinema (but smaller). 

Add a length of 12mm double-sided tape down one of the sides, then stick this edge to the other so that it overlaps by the width of the tape - this should produce a nice square bag. Fold the bottom on the guide lines shown as if you are wrapping a present. Stick down with double-sided tape.

Once you've added your chosen contents, fold over the top of the bag twice by around 1cm. Punch a couple of holes in the fold and thread ribbon or fibres through and tie. To make up the gift box, print it onto thin inkjet card around 140-170gsm. It's fine to use thicker card but you may find that you will need more than double-sided tape to hold it together, otherwise it may pop open. If all else fails, try neatly stapling it.

For a really luxurious box, print the other side of the card with the matching polka dot design from the paper-chains set.

Cut out the box with a craft knife and ruler and indent all the lines with an embossing tool (or metal nail file or table knife etc). Fold and sharply crease all the lines before sticking the corners with double-sided tape (or staple if thicker card was used).

For the tags, just cut out with a craft knife and ruler and fold. Add elasticated cord or ribbon to decorate. For the tag envelopes, cut out with a craft knife and ruler, fold on all the lines and stick with narrow double-sided tape.
