Criss Cross Gift Wrapping Tutorial - Teacher Gifts Blog Hop & Giveaway
Welcome to Joy's Life April Design Team Blog Hop & Giveaways! I'm so glad that you joined us! If you came from Julie's blog Cricut Chick, you are right on track!

This month we are challenged to create something that could be given to a teacher as a year end / thank you gift. How about a nicely wrapped journal or book?

I used "teacher" from Everyday Occasions and "thank you" from Tag You're It Set One by Joy's Life.

The journal I used is 5-1/2" x 3-3/4" x 1/2" - a piece of thin 12" x 12" paper is perfect for wrapping it in! And here is a little tutorial I put together:

I used the glasses and bow-tie to create a little guy for the Spectacular Spectacles Challenge over on Moxie Fab World. Some great inspirations there, why not check it out and give the challenge a try? ;)

What a creative gift wrapping idea! My SIL’s love books, so I might try it on one of those. :)

I teach kindergarten and would love to get a journal or book wrapped so cutely! A tube filled with chocolate kisses with almonds would be my favorite!
