Christmas Gift Packages

GlueArts Designer: Grace Tolman

Designer Note:
With the sign of the times, it's getting harder to give our family and friends gifts that would WOW them. So even if it's a homemade or inexpensive gift, make them feel extra special with altered gift containers and packages. Here's three options that you can easily whip up today!


Supplies:
GlueArts Adhesives Squares
Glue Glider Pro


Be sure to stop by Grace's blog for a full tutorial on how Grace made these amazing Christmas packages!!
