Make a Pretty Gift with White Ink and Kraft Paper

Soon enough it will be wedding season and for me, it started in January of this year. I have not been to a wedding in quite a while (the majority of our friends are married) so when I was wrapping the gifts, I got a little carried away!

These gifts came in huge boxes from Amazon. I don’t think a standard roll of wrapping paper would be sufficient for 1 of the gifts. The solution was a big roll of Kraft packing paper. Kraft packing paper is very thick and quite sturdy.

This paper would withstand any ink or paint and I  came up with the idea of painting a drawing of a bride on both gifts. I’m not an illustrator by any standards but gave it a try ;)

Materials

  • kraft packing paper
  • White ink
  • any white paper
  • A one inch circle punch (to the make the dots.)

Tutorial

Make a pretty wedding gift with Kraft paper and white ink by kraft&mint diy tutorial

  1. Wrap your gifts with Kraft packing paper and packing tape. Then choose what will you draw on each box. I chose a bride since I was going to a wedding ;)
  2. I used white ink that flows easily on the kraft paper
  3. Don’t worry if the pencil outline shows up a little bit. Crafts don’t need to be perfect…
  4. Add some jute string and white polka dots. (I used this punch to make my polka dots.)

Make a Pretty Gift with White Ink and Kraft Paper  is not a quick craft like my usual DIY projects but once you give it a try, time will pass very fast. I think, no matter what you decide to draw, the combination of Kraft paper, white ink and white polka dots will result in a pretty gift and piece of artwork!

    Wow for somebody who thinks she’s not an illustrator you did a really fine job of portraying a bride. Awesome, love it.Great idea also, What bride wouldn’t love that wrapping job. I’d keep the paper if I was her.
    When our oldest son’s wife had first baby I did l lot of stenciling on wrapping and his little onesies’. A month or so later she told me how much she loved all the trouble I went to for the baby’s gift. Hard to realize he’s in college in Lexington, KY now on a full ride scholarship to be a chemical engineer.
    Great idea to decorate paper that wraps a gift, making that gift all the more meaningful and personal.
    Now I need to go see what kind of papers IKEA has in their paper shop.
    Hope you have great week

      Hello JaneEllen! It is always lovely to hear from you! First, I can’t believe how time goes by so fast! One minute you are making a onesie and the next minute you blink and they are off to college! I’m trying to enjoy as much as I can my sweet kiddos ;) thank you for stopping by! And please let me know what you find at Ikea! All the best, Ursula.

    The bride and white dots really add a level of elegance to the Kraft paper – and such a nice idea for an oversized gift box that would normally look… just large. Would you consider making some sheets and selling them? I have two large gift boxes to wrap for a bridal shower and, I can assure you, I would NOT be able to draw what you did. Would love to wrap them in that paper… it’s just what I’m looking for!!

      Hello, Doree! Soooo excited you liked my kraf paper + bride design. Now, I used white acrylic ink and painted the kraft paper AFTER I had wrapped the gift.
      I know if I would painted the paper first, and then wrapped the gift, the paint would have cracked :( Apologies for not being able to draw the bride for you! BUT,
      if you wrap the gifts you have and then add white circle stickers and add a big bow, it would make the gifts super cute ;)
      Ursula
