Stunning Reward Wrapping Ideas

As a teacher I like to organize various learning activities for my students. Likewise, I organized an art competition for which my students were very much excited. So, they very well demonstrated their imaginative ideas through various papers and created outstanding art forms. I had announced prizes for the most creative art forms as a token of encouragement for my dear students. As children love prizes, prize distribution ceremony is always the most excited event for them. And as it was the prize distribution ceremony of an art competition, I decided to make it creative, too. 

Doing this, I wanted to serve two of my intentions – 

1. To bring extra excitement within students for their rewards

2. To give them more creative ideas on paper usage

To put a smile on every participant’s face, I brought them a pile of gifts; one for each. So, I creatively wrapped each reward using gift wrapping accessories and types of papers like color paper, glossy paper, bright paper, parchment paper, vellum paper. But, my personal favorite is vellum paper, which I placed the reward in a small box and wrapped them in different patterns. Like, I covered the small box with a  color paper first and then for more embellishment wrapped it with a belt of layered ribbons and capped it off with a single fabric blossom. 

Also, since kids love colored button I also made a button-stamped wrap. So, I affixed button to a cork with double-sided tape. Then placed plain paper on a folded piece of fabric (this cushions the paper so the mark will be even). Lastly, topped it with a pretty button tied on with baker's twine.

This way, the wide assortment of wrapping papers such as vellum paper, parchment paper helped me have a pleasant but enticing reward wrapping for all my creative students. And exactly the way I wanted they were very much excited to receive these stunning gift wrapped rewards. The immense of joy and amazement that I could see on all those eager faces is really a can't-explain-ever for me!

Hard-to-forget Handmade Birthday Gift Made Me Nostalgic

It was my birthday last week. No doubt, a birthday gives a number of gifts from your near and dear ones. But this birthday, I had received a gift from someone not so close. Or I must say, someone who used to be very close to me many years back, but not in contact these days. She is my school-friend, who was very close to me those days, but we lost connection when she got shifted to Canada due to her mom’s job.  

That afternoon was very nostalgic for me when I received a beautiful gift by courier from her. It was a handmade envelope created by wrapping vellum paper. But its cutest feature was – it had a pencil-sketched school-time image of both of us, on my favorite bright orange color paper.  That envelope was enough to give me nostalgia remembering naughty, frisky, impish but, innocent school days. Those days when we were using vellum paper, bright color papers, craft papers, glossy papers and even parchment paper in bakery classes, every now and then.

Inside the envelope it was a ribbon-tied small photo album, of both of ours school-time moments, exactly how we used to create in our school craft assignments pesting our family photographs. The images in the album were those which she had clicked when I gave her a goodbye party at my home and a handmade dollhouse of bright color glossy paper. Small vellum paper-made cards, glued on each image, explaining how we lived the moment then was just one thing that was new in the album. 

Not only this, that envelope enclosed a letter with our favorite childhood poem written artistically again on a vellum paper. 

I am not finding words, which helped me to explain that precious and hard-to-forget gift so properly, enough to express my emotions I had caught in after having it! 

Teeny-tiny Projects Using Vellum Paper

School going kids must be very aware of vellum paper, which is a translucent paper popular for its use in arts and crafts projects. Such as for making greeting cards or scrapbooking, as well as for tracing designs. So, kids are you ready to start all your fun projects using vellum paper? If yes, here are some of the options that I’ve explored in this blog.

1. Make an envelope: Keep aside the boring regular paper and just use it as a template to create a vellum envelope. When assembling envelope, you will need vellum glue, which you can find by scouring school supplies online.

2. Create a pocket for scrapbook page: It’s simple, fold a sheet of vellum paper in half and attach it to a heavyweight card stock with adhesive. Insert items like pressed flowers, cards made of colored paper or any other treasures inside, which you can then view through the vellum without disturbing it.

3. Trace design on vellum paper: Vellum makes a great tracing paper. Take a light-colored sheet over a picture or on anything you’d like to copy and then trace away.

4. Adorn gift box: You can use vellum paper to wrap a small gift box. Furthermore, you can adorn the package with a silk or satin ribbon, to give it a final touch. You can find these decorative stuff by searching for classroom supplies online.

5. Weave some together: When you combine vellum with different colored papers or cardstock, it will add a softening pattern or even change its own color. You can try weaving a few one-inch strip together of different colored vellum to create a plaid background.

6. Print photo on vellum: You can achieve some incredibly unique results by printing photos on vellum. Try experimenting with placing the printed photo on different colors or textures of card stock. 

Try out these teeny-tiny projects and you’ll be impressed with the own created masterpieces.

The Secret of My Celebration- Jam Paper and Envelope

They say “With great power comes great responsibility”. Same thing happens after marriage. I am a housewife for 20 years and happy having two children. My life is surrounded by just four of us. The only thing that is important after marriage is taking care of family members. After marriage, I was so much involved in family that I had hardly got time to meet friends and relatives.

But on one fine day when everyone was out for their work or studies. I was just chilling out in my bedroom after finishing all the household chores. Just then I realized, it has been so long that I haven’t met my friends and relatives. So I asked myself, ‘how about having just a casual get together with family-n-friends?’

Yeeeaah! It was the time to party!!!

My great excitement didn’t allow me to wait for long, so I decided to throw it on the same day. I quickly called all my close friends and family members as I just had two hrs to arrange the party. Otherwise, I would have sent them attractive invitations created in vellum paper to make my invite unique. In all this hustle bustle, making the party memorable was also the important thing for me. But, I was confused about what best can make my party memorable adding valorous moment to it. I was completely in mess.

                                               

To put a smile on everybody's face, I brought piles of gifts for them, even in that short period. I didn't just want a gift-giving occasion, but also wanted to make it the most joyous and unforgettable moment. So, I beautifully decorated the gifts using attractive Jam Paper gift wrapping accessories. Greeting-cards, flowers are the most usual gifts for every celebration. But Jam Paper and Envelope was a great saviour!
