Personalised pens make an elegant present, but you should ensure they look just as lovely when presented as they did when ordered. Thankfully, it’s simple to wrap a pen!
Start by gathering paper and ribbon. Square or rectangular shapes make wrapping easier; start there when beginning this craft project.
Wrapping Paper
This beautiful pen gift wrapping idea will delight whoever receives it. Additionally, the box itself makes an elegant addition to any home or office!
To create the box, first cut craft foam slightly smaller than its inner dimensions for optimal coverage of pens. Next, secure fabric around the inside edges with knots or seams – this will add decorative touches while protecting them.
DIY project projects like this one are great because their finished products can be reused time after time! Not only can you choose colors and patterns to meet the recipient’s preferences but you could even add personal messages or poems for extra impact.
If you want an easier way to wrap gifts, consider purchasing sustainable and recycled paper from an eco-friendly retailer. Some companies even commission artists to design these papers and include QR codes with information about both artist and charity.
Order personalized wrapping paper from Society6, where independent designers offer prints sure to please. With vintage mid-century modern and year-round quirky styles available, Society6 provides unique options that will complement any gift perfectly.
Make sure the design you select matches both the pen and its packaging, or consider customizing the present with their favorite color or initials and date as part of a keepsake gift.
Gift notes make great additions to any present, and when it comes to pens and pencils they’re especially thoughtful and personal. Show someone special you care by writing one out yourself – that shows that someone took time out of their day to create such an outstanding present!
If you don’t feel confident writing notes yourself, a company such as Zazzle offers pre-printed messages with quotes, poems, or anecdotes that express your hopes and wishes for the recipient.
Tissue
Tissue paper makes an elegant and sophisticated gift wrapping accessory, adding elegance and sophistication to any present. Its solid colors coordinate perfectly with printed or patterned bags or wrapping paper for birthday, baby shower, wedding or holiday gifts. To create a tissue paper flower simply stack three sheets together and choose shades that complement each other or complement the bag color – fold accordion-style and cut off open ends to a point or round them off before fluffing up layers gently and attaching it securely.
Once your beautiful flower is complete, place it into the center of the pen and use green curling ribbon to wrap slowly around its entire perimeter starting at its base. Your gift is sure to bring smiles! With just two packages of tissue paper and one roll of ribbon required for this simple trick you have crafted something truly personal while remaining budget friendly. Be sure to keep a garbage bag close at hand to dispose of cut-paper castoffs and price tags from cutting up, plus a designated area where all gift wrap supplies can be stored safely for future use!
Ribbon
Wrapping gifts isn’t limited to wrapping large and expensive presents; even for something as personal and small as a pen! Some creative options use household items, like paper bags or pillowcases, as a foundation. Others involve raiding craft drawers in search of decorative ribbons or stamps; you could even build yourself an original pen holder box!
No matter the occasion or holiday gift-giving season, a stylish ribbon can make all the difference when wrapping a pen gift for someone special. No matter your taste – classic and traditional or bold and contemporary – there is sure to be an option that matches it – plus, best of all it doesn’t break the bank either!
Curling ribbon is one of the most frequently seen ribbon types used for gift-wrapping purposes, made of crimped polypropylene that curls when flattened; you’ll often find this ribbon at high street stores and it makes an elegant finishing touch for wedding presents.
Twisted satin ribbon makes an elegant gift wrap choice, thanks to its smooth surface and delicate sheen. Ideal for formal presents, satin can come in various widths and colors and should be handled carefully as it may rip or tear easily when tightened tightly – beware when handling!
Lace ribbon makes an elegant finishing touch when gift wrapping gifts. With its intricate yet delicate designs, lace can look especially striking when paired with kraft paper or satin paper. However, its durability may prove difficult due to being more difficult than other forms of ribbon to manipulate and control; but if elegance is what you seek then lace may just be your perfect solution!
Gift Bags
When giving the gift of a pen, it’s essential that you consider its recipient and their interests. Customized packaging with handwritten notes shows your thoughtfulness towards them; whether the pen is going as a present for someone close to you like a family member, friend or coworker it will only make their experience that much sweeter!
Create beautiful gift bags out of brown kraft paper, patterned scrapbooking paper or wrapping paper in any pattern or color to fit the occasion. Or use decorative sticky tape – washi tape is an excellent choice as it comes in multiple colors and patterns and easily tears by hand so the recipient won’t have to worry about their delicate fingers handling their gift!
Once you’ve chosen your gift bag, open it up and tuck some matching tissue paper inside before inserting your present and fluffing up the tissue paper to complete your presentation.
Add an elegant finishing touch by tying a ribbon around the top of your bag. Be sure to choose a long enough ribbon so that it fits through both holes on its front. Any type of ribbon can be used, however complementary colors or ones with contrast will look best.
Make a gift bag even more personal by using fabric to wrap it! For this task, cut a piece of fabric that is roughly 12 times the base size of the bag’s base and place it design-side down on your work surface with foam pad on top – then simply glue around its perimeter until dry!
Alternatively, if desired, you could decorate the inside of the bag by writing a personal message for that person receiving it – this could include anything from a quote, poem, anecdote or personal sentiment to show that you took time and care in creating their gift and want them to enjoy it as much as you wish they did! It’s especially touching if written out by hand – showing that someone cared enough about receiving their present from you that they took time out to compose something just for them!
Make your gift truly personalized by creating your own custom wrapping paper from old black-and-white vintage photos or sheet music – it’s an excellent way to recycle an ordinary store-bought bag into something truly special and meaningful!
