DIY Christmas gifts

So decided to make my 2 new uni friends little gifts last minute! Took about 4 hours to make cards, envelops and gifts! ALSO MADE MY OWN WRAPPING PAPER ;D

Ah well, here at the envelops I made measuring 8cmx10cm ^_^ for Hannah and Alisa!


Then made 2 Christmas cards to go with it! Took ages to cut the Christmas decoration on the colour paper because of the card being really small and because the colour paper was pretty thin and hard to work with. The pop up christmas tree was fun to make though :)


The I made 2 little felt plushie key charms! I love how they turned out and was so quick and easy to make once I made my own template for it ^___^ as you can see they're pretty small, almost the same size as the little envelops! I made the 2 Starbucks phone charms months ago but thought it'd be cute just to through them in as little extras hahhaa :P


Finally made my own wrapping paper! I made a rubber stamp of a heart which I made myself using an old rubber and a scalpel to carve a heart shape into ^3^ then I just used a blue ink pad to press the hand made stamp onto a sheet of A4 tracing paper :) wrapped the little gifts+card into the paper once the ink had dried and used a little bit of cellotape and ribbon to hold it all together!! Hehe so happy with how it all turned out in such little time as well :)


Giving it to them tomorrow, last day tomorrow then it's Christmas holidays! Im going to try to be productive this time and do lots of creative stuff to motivate me!!! Hope they like their presents tomorrow ^_______^ X
