I‘m pretty chuffed with these woven paper gift toppers. They are a sinch to make and look really great with recycled newspaper wrap.
The idea originated from this woven yarn gift topper which you can see at giverslog.com and from this image which comes from the book More Last Minute Knitted Gifts.
How-to
♥ Cut some strips of colored paper. Mine were 0.5cm wide. They need to be long enough to wrap around your gift. If you have a paper shredder then this might make the job even quicker!
♥ Line up your vertical strips on a table top…you can use a bit of sticky tape at one end to hold them in place while you weave away.
♥ Weave the horizontal strips into the vertical strips.
♥ Using a bit of sticky tape secure to your gift. Job done!
I also made a rainbow gift topper….no surprise there then!
Happy Monday everyone!
Gourgeous! Colorful, easy and appealing, great!
Too lovely! This is a great idea!
So beautiful! Your rainbow topper is gorgeous. I love your blog so much! I read MANY blogs but yours is by far the most inspiring. 🙂

Thank you everyone…yeah I really like them…even if I do say so myself! I think cos they are easy peasy and just made from paper and a bit of sticky tape 🙂
Thanks Vanessa….very kind of you…blushing slightly…haha

genius! these are absolutely adorable… what a quick and beautiful way to add pizzazz to some recycled gift wrap! looooove it!!!
Thank you! This will go well with my toddler’s homemade wrapping paper (ie, recycled artwork)
utterly gorgeous!

Thanks! Donaville I know where you are coming from but they are very quick to make so no sweat 🙂
Thanks for sharing Ann…always wanted to try paper quilling…one day!
This is absolutely brilliant idea!
Looks so pretty and cute 🙂
Love, love, love this!!!!!!!
This is awesome! I’ve tried some woven stuff before, but this is amazing. I didn’t really make it a gift topper this time, but I pasted it on a white piece of paper and it looked great with it! I love craft stuff. I’ve been trying your crafts since I got Internet, but I didn’t know I can comment. I thought you needed an account or something. Anyway, this is great!
Hi Koby,
Glad you managed to figure the commenting bit out. I think most blogs allow you to comment without registering which is pretty cool. Glad you enjoyed the project….you’ll have to email me a photo. Happy crafting! 🙂
LOVE it!

Fabulous! I really LOVE your idea 😀 😀
Love this packaging… So cute!
This is so nice! The rainbow pattern is so visually appealing!
Beautiful! I’m definitely doing this to save money at Christmas! My question is, what do you do with the strips on the bottom of the package?
Hi Jill,
I just tapes the strips neatly where they met together….hope this makes sense. I figured if it was at the bottom of the gift it didn’t really matter too much. in theory you could weave the bottom as well…would be quite tricky though!
its fantastic!!.. also I would like to know how to do this box (made with newspaper)….. thank you so much!!!
Hi nADia, it’s just a regular cardboard box wrapped in newspaper!
Oh my god, what a cool idea! and so easy to make.
thanks for the inspiration!
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment Carol Anne…the site no longer exists so guess your message got through.
Have a nice Easter ^_^

Stumble on your blog by chance and how i feel lucky to find this wrap idea. Totally will wrapp my farewel gift with this. Thank youuuu 🙂
Wishing it was Christmas now so I could try! Thanks!
Will definitely be using this on Christmas gifts. I love upcycling giftwrap ideas! I think I will try red and green for some, graduated shades of blue for others.
Yay…like the sound of the graduated shades ^_^
I always was into funky gift wraps, and I’m in love with this idea. Can’t wait to try it!
Brilliant!!
Thanks Sand ^_^

i love this idea, and decided to add on to it by cutting the pieces of paper using those decorative craft scissors that cut in designs. harder to weave but the end result is so cool!!
