Gift Wrapping Inspiration and DIY

I absolutely love wrapping gifts! Heres what I did with a bridal shower gift this past weekend. 

I used:

Washi Tape

Map Paper

Embossing powder

Ribbon

Mini Clothes peg

Shipping Tag

Versamark Ink

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Broken China

Martha Stewart Heat Tool

I wrapped it with some map paper and 1.5 inch tule ribbon in a green similar to the tones on the map. I used a shipping tag and gold embossing powder and stamp to add a sentiment. I added washi tape along the corner tucked it under the ribbon and pinned it on with a tiny clothes peg. 

I also gold embossed the wooden peg by pressing the top of it into some Versamark ink and then heat embossing the gold powder.

 The envelope matched the tag and gift wrap by having some washi tape along the edges. I added a circle cut out of the map paper to coordinate. I used foam adhesive to put the name of the recipient and inked the edges blue with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Broken China.

DIY Mason Jar Soap Dispenser

Hi Everyone!

As you all (should) know, I absolutely love mason jars! I use them to store things, as planters, for salads and to make things with.

I really wanted to update my bathroom with some newer things without really breaking the bank. Thats when I realized that it shouldn't be too hard to combine a mason jar with a pump to use as my mason jar soap dispenser. This is an easy mason jar project and doesn't cost much money or time. 

Here is the DIY for making it yourself.

You'll need:

1 mason jar in a small-medium size

1 soap dispenser pump (use one already on hand or go to the dollar store!)

A Hammer

1 nail 

A soft foam block
