Wrapping kit, a la Maya Road

Hello Roadies! Last year, I made a multi-purpose wrapping kit for my mother-in-law's Christmas gift. I packed it full of colorful ribbon, tags for birthdays, thank yous, and all occasions. I made some fun little pom poms using a tutorial I found on Pinterest. I added tissue papers and playful tapes. It was so much fun to put together, and as I was thinking about posts for this month, I thought how easy it would be to use Maya Road products for a wrapping kit. We have so many "mini" products, it's a natural fit!

So, without further ado, I offer you a mini wrapping kit, all products will fit into a small jewelry box, and you've got enough embellishments to decorate at least three little boxes! I went with a yellow/grey/red/natural theme. It's Christmasy, but not too. I could have used our wooden or chipboard snowflakes, but after Anja's post about using butterflies for Christmas, the idea has grown on me.

I made a butterfly medallion using our vintage wooden mini butterflies, white out mist, cream metallic mist (for the medallion), tulle pleat trim in cinnamon, and iridescent glitter.

I fancied up another vintage wooden mini butterfly with the cream metallic mist and some more glitter, then added a tie of our twine cording in tomato red.

I wrapped three of our vintage wood spools with the twine cording, fabric tape in sun yellow, and trinkets ribbon in pebble. Between 18 inces to a yard, depending on the product.

I sprayed an upper case Lisa letter with charcoal mist, added some glitter and glued it to a kraft shipping tag.

And I misted some tiny banner chipboard bits with the white out mist, added some more glitter, and glued them all to a piece of the twine cording. I added some sticker letters with a liquid adhesive, because glitter is, well, glitter and doesn't like to hold stickers well.

Then I decorated some boxes up with the supplies. The possibilities are endless, but this is one way you could use the kit. You'll notice I didn't use everything, so really you could do at least a couple more simple boxes. I think this would be a fun hostess gift, perfect for your crafty freinds. This one is going to my daughter so she can wrap her friends' Christmas gifts.
