[@LMmccallL57]

Wow! So simple and quick, but also very cute! I'm glad I found a tutorial that shows the use of gift wrapping paper, rather than paint. I need something quick and this is it. Thanks for sharing.

[@SimplyLavish]

I am so happy to learn that you found it useful.

[@judithwallace2091]

Beautiful. Miss you. So glad you are still doing videos! Hope you are feeling OK. Sometimes life just hurts.💖

[@SimplyLavish]

+Judith Wallace Thank you. Everything is just fine. I just had too many projects to do videos. Thank you for your concern.

[@MzDuckedOff]

I love it .. If U put some pop dots or popsicle sticks behind the letter's it will give it a 3d look

[@SimplyLavish]

That is a great suggestion. For the more detailed (and more expensive boxes) I just those chipboard letters you get in craft stores.

[@Braedenfish]

@@SimplyLavish love your work! I recently started using a dremel and "pay" my neices gifts they would have gotten anyway to cut letters and words for some projects. TfS!

[@SimplyLavish]

@@Braedenfish thank you! Great suggestion! Employing the nieces and nephews are a given, lol!

[@lisayanez7954]

Those are absolutely adorable. I love it. Thanx for sharing Hunn

[@Tanyamac121]

Very creative, very nice!

[@SimplyLavish]

+Tanya McDonald Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

[@yolandasacks8029]

Love, love, love it. I just went our and gathered my material for blocks this past weekend but will definitely be doing your method. On your video, there is a small patch of the box you did not cover with the wrapping paper. Is that where you glued the stencil and how did you get the background of the letter to look the same as the wrap paper?

[@SimplyLavish]

Yolanda, I am so glad you found the video useful! The uncovered spot was the bottom - it wouldn't be seen when the blocks are set up. Every place visible (top and sides) are completely covered by the paper. Good Luck and share those pictures with me.

[@muriel2151]

Wonderful! Never thought to use spray adhesive!

[@chefellenbryant1728]

Nice job young lady!

[@samansyed2711]

This video is so helpful! Thanks so much, can't wait to try it :)

[@lucretialewis5592]

Beautiful....I love it!!!

[@SimplyLavish]

+Lucretia Lewis Thank you. I am glad you like it!

[@mar8917]

Its super pretty you make it look so easy one question the boxes you got them at walmart? In what seccion would i find them?

[@ldcmr35]

Love Love Love this idea!

[@SimplyLavish]

THANK YOU!

[@rineallison8832]

Those look great!

[@SimplyLavish]

+Rine Allison Thank you!

[@aleenamahad4440]

Hiya I love the idea I have gathered all the products I just need to know what size are the washi tape??

[@SimplyLavish]

I am glad you like it. You have me there! I think it was 3/4 of an inch wide.

[@rienathomas3419]

loved your video! I just started making these and did traditional gift wrapping with tape.... so annoying..lol... how many rolls of gift wrap did you end up using....i never seem to have enough. thank you

[@stephrubio3008]

Beautiful! What size wrapping paper did you use? I recently bought some but they don't cover on the sides either.

[@SimplyLavish]

I think the one I used was 30" wide. I can't be sure. When you run into that you may have to do some improvising to cover any open spaces. If you have a small area, you can possibly over it with a decoration. A larger area may require more paper.

[@MsHunniLove]

That was so cute and creative

[@juanitazoro4582]

Girl you did that i look forward to moreDIY

[@SimplyLavish]

Awww...thank you. I'll try to keep it coming.

[@Shaunda1030]

love it.. now what is the name of the tape you used and how did you get the letters so perfectly on there

[@SimplyLavish]

+Shaunda1030 i am glad you like them! you know, i don't recall what was specifically on the package for that tape, but in general it is called Washi Tape in the crafts stores. As far as the letters, I really just eyeballed it.

[@juliarodriguez89]

I love it , Thank You so much 👌💕 ..

[@dashawn419]

Hi. Thanks for sharing about to make these for my daughter's prom send off! How many rolls of wrapping paper did you use

[@uniquepartycreations7128]

Awww thank you so much for sharing you was very helpful

[@khaloodalabood7897]

I luv it I really liked the video but what kind of tap did you use?

[@SimplyLavish]

It's called washi tape. You get it in craft stores

[@chrishannajohnson1577]

Thank you for doing this for us.

[@SimplyLavish]

You are very welcome.

[@crafty4u]

Girl, I just subscribed! Thanks for this great tutorial and tips. I never would had thought of using the spray.... which I have already in storage. Where did you get the stencil letters?

[@SimplyLavish]

Thank you for subscribing! I am glad you found everything useful. I got the stencil from either Joann Fabrics or Hobby Lobby - I can't be certain which because I had it a while.

[@jodyparks1086]

excellent!!!!! very good tutorial

[@SimplyLavish]

[@deebalentine4340]

Thanks for sharing! I'm making theses for a baby shower and I would like to know, how many rolls of the gift wrap did you use?

[@janiecovington7579]

Beautiful where did you get the boxes?

[@kitakoutique9109]

love this video.. what type of spray you used?

[@SimplyLavish]

Thank you. Any spray craft adhesive will do. I usually just get what's on sale.

[@kitakoutique9109]

Your welcome and thanks for answering my question

[@jaceeauto6290]

I found some in the dollar tree it didn't look right... looked like it was wet

[@lechellegreen]

Great job! Where do you get the wrapping paper? Especially if doing this for lots of customers?

[@SimplyLavish]

Thanks, LeChelle! That paper came from Walmart. I don't buy in bulk because each color scheme is so specific.

[@tainachapman9486]

Nice!! But where can i get the boxes from (all the same sizes ) and what sizes are they!?

[@treaviecolston2888]

Hi I just subscribed !! Totally Love this Idea 💗💗💗 Where did you get the boxes and are they free?

[@SimplyLavish]

I'm so sorry it took me long to reply. I got them from Walmart...they're super inexpensive.

[@SimplyLavish]

+shannon jeffery Great! If you are on Instagram or Facebook tag me in a picture.

[@lechellegreen]

How did you get the clip art on the box? Meaning where did you get those from? :-)

[@SimplyLavish]

I just blew up the clip art from my word processing software.

[@lechellegreen]

Thank you lady!!! One more question, how did you cut out the stencil?

[@SimplyLavish]

With scissors and an exacto knife

[@kimmi2205]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@TomikaSnead]

Thank you for your video. How did do the stencil did you cut it out?

[@SimplyLavish]

Yes. You make the outline on paper using the stencil then cut it out with an exacto knife or scissors.

[@alanaleigh3303]

LOVE them!

[@godslovelydiva]

Nice!!! How much wrapping will I need for 12 box..

[@SimplyLavish]

Thank you! Well since I did not do the bottoms...the surface area for 5 sides of a 12x12 box would be 720 sq inches (5 sq ft) per box. So you would probably need a good 756 sq inches of paper per box (This measurement is usually on the packaging. I hope that helps.

[@traceytaylor7509]

New subscriber love it

[@SimplyLavish]

Welcome! Thank you for your support!

[@tinahayes509]

ABSOLUTELY Beautiful

[@coressafant5146]

This is what I'm doing for my cousins baby shower!

[@elkeportley3691]

Nice! I'm going to try 12/12 boxes with 6inch letters! What you think? What did you get 3 different colors of washi tape for? I only got one color!

[@SimplyLavish]

Hi! That would be really nice. I got 3 just to coordinate the 3 colors I for the party. Color selection is entirely up to you.

[@elkeportley3691]

Simply Lavish OK Thanks a bunch!!

[@tiffany6214]

Very beautiful

[@DeeDeeBenjamin78]

Great idea!!

[@SimplyLavish]

Always a kind word...I really can't thank you enough! :-)

great vid so beautiful Loved this new subbie

[@andreacastillo5486]

love it!

[@SimplyLavish]

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

[@TiffiniTravels]

I was scared to do this but, that looked beautiful!

[@SimplyLavish]

Scared? Why?

[@monicalambert1583]

great job

[@SimplyLavish]

Thank you!

[@kaywatson4402]

That was cute!!

[@ninadunn3366]

How big is the glitter paper? And where did you get the washee tape and stencils?

[@SimplyLavish]

I used both 8.5x11 and 12x12 just based on color availability. You can get washi tape at any craft store; I got mine from Joann Fabric. The stencil, I don't recall, I already had them. Store's like Michael's, Joann Fabrics, or Hobby Lobby would have most of the material you need.

[@laynagomez8952]

Hey I have a question . What kind of wrapping paper did you use ? I got wrapping paper but it’s get a bunch of white wrinkles on it

[@SimplyLavish]

Sorry for such a late response. It was just paper from Walmart, I can't recall the brand .

[@misssinclair37]

amazing

[@SimplyLavish]

Thank you! I just posted something new, check it out!

[@latricewilliams9957]

How do you cover the little opening on the back of the box?

[@SimplyLavish]

I actually didn't...that side would be the bottom, it would not be seen.

[@brendamorrissette4292]

Do I have to put something inside the box so it won't be to light?

[@SimplyLavish]

I use old 12x12 floor tiles (I thought I mentioned in the video) they fit nicely in a box that size, are inexpensive even if you don't just have some lying around, and add just enough weight to stabilize them without making them heavy. If you were to use them outside I would double or triple up though.

[@aprildrew4858]

Very nice, I think I can do this. I think I can do this.

[@SimplyLavish]

You CAN do it! Show me the results when you're done!

[@kyzelbuford7698]

What size paper roll did you purchase for 5 boxes?

[@minniet3]

Did you put a tile in every box or just the bottom one?

[@SimplyLavish]

Hi Tamara. I put one in each box.

[@berdj4075]

Hi. so for 4 boxes how much wrapping paper do you think I'd need?

[@SimplyLavish]

+Berta Joaquin HI! 750 sq in per box...the measurements are usually on the wrapping paper packaging
