Hey everyone!  I have a very quick and easy gift wrap idea that I was able to complete in no time using Colorbox Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Ink Spray and  "Sprinkles" Chunky Glitter.

 

I am the world's WORST gift wrapper...seriously. Wrapping gifts during Christmas is a total chore.  There have been some years where "Santa" has just left gifts under the tree with no wrapping :D.  At any rate, this idea was super easy, simple yet elegant, and personalized.

 

 

A few years ago, I purchased a small berry wreath for probably less than a dollar.  I've been using it in pieces for crafting and thought it would be great for this idea.  There were more red berries than I preferred-so, I  painted them white, and while still wet, I dipped them in Stephanie Barnard's "Sprinkles" Chunky Glitter.  Of course this needs to dry (or dry with a heating tool).  

The piece of fabric has been dyed with Stephanie Barnard"s Premium Dye Ink Spray in "Bubblegum."  Once the fabric was dry, I stamped it with Clearsnap's Crafter's Ink in "Snow" and heat set dry.  The tag is a punch that has been lightly spritzed with Stephanie Barnard's Premium Dye Ink Spray in "Strawberry." 

Wrap the package with a piece of jute string to hold the tag and berry branch and that's it!  Super easy!
