here is another re-post of my christmas packaging / wrapping from last year.
a big part of the fun of gift-giving for me is the packaging.
i used a lot of my favorite things: vintage music sheets, paper doilies, lots of lace, buttons, ribbon, kraft paper, my old school type writer, and bakers twine.
i am hopping to get all our presents for this year ready and wrapped in the next few days. wish me luck!
how are you wrapping your presents this year?!

just wanted to do a little re-post of some christmas goodie packaging i did last year, if you are still looking for some ideas.
i made some caramel popcorn to fill the bags for friends and family.
click here for the how to. and, click here for the recipe for the caramel popcorn, it’s delish!
this weekend i hope to get some goodies together and packaged up, so i hope to share those soon!

packaging gifts is definitely on my mind lately. i have a pile of gifts to be wrapped, and hopefully i will get to them soon.
here’s a little pillow box gift box i made using my die cut machine from lifestyle crafts. they have a fun little pillow box die cut that you can make any kind of paper into this little pillow box. i topped the pillow box with a topper that i made from folding up vintage music sheets accordion style, then i glued on a simple circle and snowflake.
a perfect little box to gift your tiny treasures, like jewelry. and, speaking of jewelry. i’ve been working like crazy, but i have sent out all my orders that i have received since yesterday. i still have been getting them out within about 1-2 business days, and it takes 2-5 days to mail in the usa. so, there is still a little time for last minute gifts from the armelle jewelry shop for your holiday needs.
anyhow, i hope you are enjoying all the hustle and bustle!
i hope to share some more fun holiday packaging soon! and, maybe some fun treats and other DIY’s!
