Sharing is caring!

Want to learn an easy way to Personalize gifts and packages? Let me show you how to make pretty packages for Christmas or other occasions. One thing I love about the holidays and Christmas is all the pretty packaging under the tree! These Christmas wrapping ideas are easy. 

I spy pretty packaging that has caught my eye. Over time, so much so that I created a dedicated Pinterest board. I’ll have a link to it a little later. Are you ready to make something but, this isn’t it? Be sure to see all our Craft Ideas. 

I am sharing how I used a new craft tool that I received to try out for free. You can make lovely packaging, crafts, embellishments for scrapbooks and even makes iron-on labels with it!

Think of all birthdays, weddings, celebrations, holidays where you can make your packaging and gifts look special

I’m going to share a few ways I used the Epson LabelWorks™ This is a Printable Ribbon Kit. I will go over the special features and options that it comes with. What’s great about the Printable Ribbon Kit LabelWorks™ is that it is made for printing personalized messages on satin ribbons for crafts, scrapbooks, decorations, gifts and more. This little machine was so easy to put the batteries into, insert the ribbon tape and begin using it!

DIY Personalized Ribbon Messages

The Printable Ribbon Kit is so easy to use just by reading through the steps in the manual. If you have ever used a label maker, it’s steps are very similar.

If you like this idea then you will enjoy all our mason jar crafts.

DIY Packaging Ideas

The Epson Label Works can be used with 2 high-quality printable ribbon tapes, as well as sticky labels, glow-in-the-dark tape (perfect for Halloween!)and iron-on labels! Honestly, I can’t wait to use the iron-on labels for all my sewing and doll projects coming up this winter! (these are sold separately)

But, the kit comes with two colors of satin ribbon to get you started!

Wrap tissue around little boxes, bottles of perfume or other gifts insert into a burlap mini sack then wrap with the ribbon and you are ready to give your gift to someone special. 

Pretty Packaging Ideas 

For this package, I used a pre-made bow and handle bag then added my personalized printed message under the bow. Tape it or use a glittered clothespin as I did. Add tissue paper into the handled bag around your gift. 

For this mason jar gift of oatmeal cookies, I added some Christmas fabric over the lid cover and under the lid rim. Then I cut the fabric leaving a few inches under the jar rim. I glued the printed ribbon onto the lid.

We personalized this mason jar Christmas gift with cookies and with the ribbon saying, “Made Special For You” and then I added music notes for Sammie’s piano teacher.

If you are looking for a gift to give someone or want to add special touches to your gift ideas I think you’ll love the Epson LabelWorks™ Printable Ribbon Kit. Need more ideas on how you can use this label maker? See this video with LabelWorks Satin Ribbon Printing Ideas.
