A cousin gave me a thoughtful gift and it was tucked inside this floral tissue paper:
I love this paper just as much as the gift that came with it!
I'm used to plain gift tissue paper and I was surprised to see this very pretty print. I smoothed it out and folded it nicely with the intention of using it for crafting.
Let me show you what I made with it:
I cut around the sheet of gift tissue to make individual flowers. I then attached the flowers to a glass jar using white glue, a technique called decoupage. I can use this as a pencil cup, mini flower vase or to hold votive candles...TADA!
This little gift box has an acetate window. I simply added some of the flower cutouts (held in place with some glue on the edges) to turn it from blah to TADA!
Every now and then, I experiment with origami. I made these origami dolls out of construction paper and the floral gift tissue...TADA!
Bookmarks are a very easy craft to make. I've made bookmarks out of junk mail, paper scraps, and watercolor paintings. I just glued the floral cutouts onto cardboard and added rubber stamp sayings and finished with a ribbon...TADA!
And finally, I added the floral cutouts to my handmade cards, using both decoupage and collage styles...TADA!
These are just some of the ways I repurposed the pretty floral gift tissue from blah to TADA!
