The right paper

Gift wrapping papers are made to do just that - wrap. Too thin to do much else, it’s the thicker papers the offer the greatest possibilities. Rainbow packs are available in both bond and cover weight. They are impregnated with pigment, not printed on one side. A definite advantage. Be on the lookout for unusual papers. Maybe a little pricey but one sheet can do a lot of embellishments.

Once you start working with heavier paper you will quickly begin to develop your own style of paper art. Wrapping a gift can be just the beginning. Happy cutting.
