Keep reading for the tutorial!
Supplies needed to make your own gold foil wrapping paper:
Black craft paper roll
Freestyle Foil Quill
How to make your own gold foil wrapping paper:
Step 1: Cut your black paper to fit your gift.
Step 2: Lay paper out, taping the corners to your surface to keep it tight and in place.
Step 3: Unroll the foil included with the We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill and cut to fit the paper.
Step 4: Lay the foil on top of the paper, shiny side up. Tape the corners of the foil to keep it tight and in place.
Step 5: Plug the Foil Quill into a USB charger (a light will indicate that it’s charging) and allow to heat up for about five minutes.
Step 6: Draw your design on the foil, pressing firmly.
Step 7: Remove the tape and peel the foil away from the paper.
Now you have darling one-of-a-kind wrapping paper, perfect for Christmas or any holiday! I love how the foil shines, and the imperfections make it feel original. If you are an actual artist (unlike me), you could make the most beautiful gift wrap, but I’m still pretty thrilled with my simple attempt!
Happy gifting!
