Need to wrap a gift for a special young boy? Here are some great ideas!
In our church group we have six families. We all have 1-3 children, 11 in all and one on the way! That means there are 23 of us total. We just get together once a week and hang out. Anyway, One of the little ones picked up HFM disease from daycare and now it’s spreading like WILDFIRE! Yuck! I feel so bad for everyone who has it. Thankfully my family seems to be in the clear (so far)! Today was supposed to be Oliver’s BFF’s birthday party but due to a high fever he won’t be able to celebrate. Boo! Since he had been counting down the days and is super sad, I thought we would cheer him up by dropping off his gifts. And, I had to make them super special because he was totally missing out today.
I took to Pintrest for some inspiration. I saw a link from Parents Magazine that had a cool race car wrap job. It was super cute! I did something similar but I added a special touch by hot gluing some tiny branches from our evergreen tree. Now I’ve created a little scenery for the car. Haha! This is a great way to use up all those matchbox cars you’re always stepping on! Am I right?! Come on, moms of boys…You know what I mean!
I also saw a cute wrap job where they used washi tape to stick crayons to a white wrapped gift. So, I searched my house for crayons that didn’t have bites taken out of them…no luck! But, I did find some left over candles from Oliver’s birthday, so I used some washi tape to hold 3 candles on the gift. Then I added some stickers to spell his name. Cute!
Since I’m obsessed with bunting (heart bunting, tiny bunting, tree bunting), I just did a simple washi tape bunting with a sharpie for the string. So easy! Draw your string first the add the washi flags. There are so many different shapes you can do!
Well, I’m about to go deliver these goodies. I hope he likes them as much as I do. Thanks for joining me today! I hope I was able to inspire you.
