A Christmas Treat from Nashville Wraps
You already know how beautiful your gift packaging becomes when you use Nashville Wraps’ products, but did you ever think about using our gift wrap, ribbons and other items in your craft projects? Some of our talented Wraps employees have been sharing their ideas with us and I want to pass them on for you to enjoy.
Below you will find instructions for Pennie Street’s adorable Advent calendar and pinwheel ornaments. Pennie is one of the creators of our exclusive packaging designs. You will find step-by-step instructions and PDF files that you can download and print. Pennie has even included templates for the pinwheel and little tags for the tree. Way to go Pennie!
Joanna Sloan from our Customer Care Department made the most unique wreath using gift wrap, of all things! We have pictures and instructions for this fun project too.
Let’s start with Pennie’s tree. For detailed instructions and supplies, download the instructions PDF, the labels pdf, and the assembly diagram PDF here. See the video for pictorial instructions.
For Joanna’s wreath you will need Christmas gift wrap swatches of contrasting colors, a foam wreath base (you choice of size) and a hot glue gun. Joanna cut her swatches 6″ x 9″. Put two swatches back to back and then make a “poof” by pinching the middle together (it will resemble a cone), now glue this point to the foam wreath base. Continue folding and gluing until the base is covered. You could add a bow if you want – we thought it was great without one!
Making the Pinwheel Ornaments is easy! You will find all the instructions and even pattern templates in this PDF.
We hope you enjoy these projects and have a wonderful Christmas!

Jan, we’re glad you like this article. That particular gift wrap has been discontinued. But search through our many Christmas gift wraps. I’m sure you’ll find something really cute.

Awesome! The thing that caught my eye the most was the wrap you used – I can’t find it on your website – can you direct me to the section it is in so that I can order it? Love it! Thanks.
Loved your page and you are so creative.
Congradulations!
GREAT What neat ideas – I love crafting – keep the ideas coming.
