Christmas is next week- hooray!!! I don’t know about you, but I’m not even close to being ready. I still have tons of gifts to wrap, so I was super excited to see this month’s DIY from Smitten on Paper for us is block printed wrapping paper. Even better, all of the needed materials are probably already in your crafting stash!

 

Want extra special wrapping paper for that extra special person? This DIY is perfect for any crafty individual that wants their presents to stand out this holiday season. Sometimes it’s not so much whats inside the package, but the thoughtful details on the outside!
