I have recently started releasing a selection of laser cut + engraved items into my Shop, and the leather name tags just landed there today. To celebrate, I’ve created a fall-inspired gift wrap post for you!

Things to grab:

• The usuals: scissors, double sided tape
• Adhesive spray (I used the ModPodge brand)
• Metallic gold polka dot confetti wrapping paper (or something similar)
• Dried eucalyptus
• Fine gold glitter
• Copper rust velvet ribbon, 1/4″ width
• Leather tag

After your present is wrapped and trimmed out with ribbon, cut your dried eucalyptus to size based off your wrapped gift’s size. Spray with the adhesive, and dust with the glitter. If you’d like, you can also use a sealer spray to limit the glitter shedding. Once it’s dry, tuck the eucalyptus underneath the ribbon and attached the leather tag.

I love see-through wrapping paper, but it’s often times bypassed because the whole point of wrapping something up is to conceal what is underneath. I have purchased multiple sheets of such paper and even over here (where wrapping things is a weekly event) it collects dust too.

But let me tell you a secret. If you find yourself a box that’s pretty enough to not wrap, then wrap it anyways with the see-through paper. The layered effect is absolutely glorious!

Things to grab:
• The usuals: scissors, double sided tape
• See-through wrapping paper
I found this lace style one at Paper Source years ago.
• Pretty box
I chose cream colored handmade boxes with a gold glitter polka dot pattern. If you look closely enough, you’ll see the glitter popping out underneath the wrapping paper. So cool.
• Metallic green line ribbon
• Small air plant
Can be sourced at most local nursery or even online. Mine are from Etsy.

After your present is wrapped and tied up with a bow, simply slide your air plant either underneath the ribbon, or if it’s too fluffy, add a dap of non-toxic washable glue to get it to stay. It won’t harm the plant and will wash away as needed.
