Tissue Paper Gift Wrap Ideas

Sharing is caring!

Have you ever wondered if gifts can be wrapped with tissue paper? The answer is yes! Tissue paper can be used to create a fun, beautiful, or elegant gift wrap that can look even more special than traditional wrapping paper. There are so many unique and interesting tissue paper designs, colors, and textures that can elevate an ordinary gift wrap into something spectacular. Tissue paper is also great to use if you have run out of wrapping paper or don’t have a style of wrapping paper that suits the occasion. One thing I love to do is reuse worn wrapping from gift bags. Here are some of my tissue paper gift wrap ideas.

Here are a few helpful tips that I have learned when creating Tissue Paper Gift Wrap.

1. Use craft glue to secure the paper rather than tape. Tape is very unforgiving with tissue paper. If you need to readjust the paper, it will result in a tear.
2. Depending on how thick the tissue paper is, use a double layer of tissue paper so the gift being wrap will not show through.
3. If you are using reused tissue, try crumbling it into a ball and smoothing it out to give it a textured look.

• Cut a piece of the ¼ inch ribbon long enough to wrap around the box plus 15 inches. Wrap the ribbon around the box over the 1-1/2 inch ribbon and tie a bow.
