I love summer. It has been incredibly hot and dry this year so we’ve been spending more time indoors than summers gone by but on the cooler days, we venture outdoors (as we should) and Henry can never get enough. He’s grown to love berry picking (thank goodness both grandmas have berries in their backyards), flower picking, bug discovering, and the like — but what he loves most of all is water. Just not the getting soaked part. It’s adorable to watch him get excited about simple things that we grown ups have long since forgotten.

This gift wrap idea is for you glitter lovers. To recreate this look, you’ll need the following supplies:
White wrapping paper
Chunky glitter (shown in iridescent)
Glitter tape (shown in lavender)
Wood pick
Double-sided tape
ModPodge (for paper)
Foam brush
Scissors
X-acto knife
As usual, start by wrapping your gift in the wrapping paper and seal with the double-sided tape. Using your foam brush, spread the glue in a wave like swooshes across the paper. Cover in the glitter, let sit for a bit, and then shake off the excess.
Cut a length of the glitter tape and fold over the wood pick. Trim the edge if you’re like for an extra touch. Take your knife and carefully cut two slits into the top of the wrapped gift. Use the knife’s edge to guide the flag pick through both slits, going under first and then over. And you’re done!
