If you're giving one of your creations, its packaging should be as wonderful as the gift. This is why I love designing wrapping paper. Of course, you can take the time to decorate a paper yourself, but if you're in a hurry or want a turnkey option, here's an adorable paper to print at home.

The print comes in 2 formats, letter for small gifts and tabloid for larger ones. (To print on tabloid paper, i.e. 11 x 17 inches, it is very possible that you will have to go to a printer.)
I generally print on regular, white office paper in black. Sometimes I color some details on the animals, but more often I use it as is. I like the graphic and simple aspect of black and white. I choose a colorful ribbon to give a festive look and that's it.

Another great way to use this paper is to make a gift bag. I follow a technique similar to this to make sachets perfect for a mini plush. Find more details on the site that has the credit for this image.
