DIY Wrapping Paper For Christmas Gift Wrap
Well, here’s the true story. When we were moving last winter all of my Christmas wrapping paper got damaged. Every last bit of it.
So instead of going out and buying new everything, I snagged a roll of kraft paper and decided to try to jazz it up a bit DIY style.
I had seen so many good ideas on Pinterest that really inspired my DIY wrapping paper.

With my inspiration in mind, I decided to enlist the help of my handy little Silhouette Mint as well! If you’ve never heard of the Mint, this thing is so fun to use!
You can create custom stamps that don’t even need a stamp pad for! You just squeeze the ink onto the custom stamps and it’s good for up to 50 stamps before adding more.

Supplies need to make DIY wrapping paper:
- Silhouette Mint – read this post for info on how to make custom stamps using the Mint
- Kraft Paper
- Sharpie
Step 1. Measure and cut kraft paper.
First, you want to cut your piece of kraft paper down to size that is appropriate for the gift you’re wrapping.
Step 2. Decorate your DIY wrapping paper.
For some of the paper, I stamped it with custom stamps of a tree and snowman that I made with my Silhouette Mint.
It was SO easy to make these stamps and you even have to worry about a stamp pad because they are self-inking and good for up to 50 stamps before you need to add more ink!
For other pieces of DIY wrapping paper, I just used a simple Sharpie!
I remembered how much I loved when I wrote nursery rhymes all over this package for my sister’s baby shower when I made this baby shower gift wrap.
Step 3. Wrap up your present.
To finish things up, you just simply wrap your present!
Making your own DIY wrapping paper is so simple! This stuff is so unique and memorable.
I love that it can be customized to whatever decor suits your Christmas decor style. It’s so easy, you can even have the little one’s help.

Loving the personalized touches on the brown paper instead of the typical store bought Christmas paper. The stamps sound awesome too!
What a great and fun idea! How wonderful to give a gift with hand”made” wrapping paper.
Pinned.
I’ve never heard of the Silhouette Mint, sounds like a fun piece of kit!
I use to make homemade wrapping paper when my sons were small, with their help. It was a nice and easy stamping project for them. I would have been so bummed to lose my wrapping paper. I purchase paper year round as I come across things I love and are special. You turned lemons into lemonade.
Love how the papers turned out. This would be a fun project for tweens and up as well.
Love this idea! Great way to get the kids involved in the gift-wrapping endeavor. Love the hand-written paper.
I love this idea. It is such a custom look. What fun to personalize the paper to the person who will get the gift.
Last year I moved to using all brown paper, I love how simple it looks under the tree but then I struggle to know who’s packages are whose, I’ll have to do this to indicate which gift is for which child!
I love your beautiful DIY wrapping paper. Hopefully, I’ll get my Christmas shopping done early so I can make some of my own wrapping paper this year!
I’ve done something similar before, but your wrapping paper is awesome! Pinning to share.
Amazing …!
Thanks 🙂
