Make Your Own Gift Wrapping Paper

Homemade Gift Wrapping Paper
One of the best tricks I use in order to get a creative gift wrapping, is to make the wrapping paper itself.
This homemade paper that I’m going to talk about today can be reused again and again because cellotape can be easily removed from it. 
Here are some layouts I've made...What is you're favorite layout???

The technique is quite easy:
All you need is: a  magazine, Scissors, glue , Tissue paperand cellophane.
I 'm using scissors to cut out some images from the magazine, then placing them on a tissue paper which is used as a background. Attaching each piece using UHU stick and adding a cellophane to wrap the present.

I think I was about nine years old when I first saw a popup book .
I was thrilled with the idea and thats how I've started collecting those incredible books. 
On my last trip to Barcelona I bought this amazing popup book Alice’s adventures in wonderland,for my kids (kids are a good excuse for lots of things…)
