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’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!

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.
