I make my own handmade Christmas wrapping paper every year and this year was no exception. I love the simple act of stamping a blank roll of paper to make it my own. This year I went with a little basic tree design:
It’s easy to carve you own stamp using a basic stamp block and linoleum carving tools by Speedball:
The best part is once you’ve carved a stamp you can use it year after year. I had a roll of kraft wrapping paper from Michaels and stamped my trees in rows using a black stamp pad:
I used brown twine as my ribbon and added a cutting of garland to this one:
I stamped these plain white tags to match:
So much wrapping paper looks the same these days and I love how this simple look stands out among the shiny bright papers:
Only a few simple supplies needed:

wow, loved it! so simple and yet such an effective look!
Thanks for the great idea, I will definitely try it this year! It reminds me of a home project my daughter had recently, we had to create stamps from potatoes. But your option is way more durable and less messy, so we’ll definitely give it a try. My daughter loves to be involved in packing the presents, she always comes up with these cool packing ideas and ways to tie the ribbons.
very good tip, looks beautiful and gives an economized!
