This is the second to last tutorial in the Wrap it Up series, but it’s an extra good one and includes sparkle and kraft paper! Enjoy! Oh and did you see yesterday’s tutorial about wrapping with worn out stockings?!
Hi C.R.A.F.T friends!! I’m Sarah from Sarah M. Dorsey Designs and I’m so excited and honored that Jamie asked me to participate in her Wrap It Up series! Today I’m sharing a few wrapping ideas using kraft paper, adhesive and glitter. Let’s face it, glitter is messy, but to me, it wouldn’t be Christmas without it! I love the shine and depth that it adds – So worth a little extra vacuuming!
It’s super simple… Here’s how I did it!
First, I cut a piece of brown kraft paper and laid pieces of painters tape at a 45 degree angle. To space it, I placed two small pieces of tape as I went to make sure it was even.
I sprayed a light coat of spray adhesive, sprinkled glitter and then removed the tape.
For the polka dots, I used round glue dots and then sprinkled on glitter. I wasn’t too picky with the spacing, so it was little random – life’s too short to measure here. Thanks for the inspiration Brittany! Check out her amazing customized Ikea frames here.
I picked up some pom pom yarn from Ollie’s – it makes the perfect ribbon!

GORGEOUS! I love it! 🙂
This is perfect for Christmas! If you have time, I would love for you to share this post over at the

Yes! Everything is definitely better with glitter! I love it!
I wish I was better at wrapping presents. I usually opt for gift bags. But I suppose I could do the same thing on the bags 🙂
Simply beautiful! Pinning this! Thank you so much for sharing at Turn It Up Tuesday. Look forward to seeing you again next week for another great party! Have a great weekend.
forgot to say I’ve chosen this post as one of my favourites for last week’s party! x
Such a fun idea for the holidays! I’m going to give this a try this year!
Wow, you put some thought and effort into this! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fancier brown paper wrapper! I think I would have to cheat and wrap and just put one star on the top, haha! Thanks so much for sharing this on Throwback Thursday and have a great Holiday Season!
Super cute idea… Pinning!
Why not use double sided tape instead of spray adhesive?
I love the use of glitter with Kraft card and paper. I have produced a similar effect using glitter Washi tape on Kraft paper and this has produced some lovely wrapping paper. I wish all Christmas presents were wrapped like this!
