It’s A Wrap: DIY Mini Milk Cartons

Last year, I came up with a tutorial for packaging halloween candy. I wanted to make it an annual thing, so I tried to figure out how these mini milk cartons were made. No printables. No exact measurements. Mostly freehand scoring, snipping and gluing. DIY milk cartons!

It’s A Wrap: Still No Tape!

  • Jul 22, 2013

No tape? No wrapping paper? No problem!

I Try DIY | It's A Wrap: Still No Tape!

Furoshiki is an age old Japanese way of wrapping gifts with cloth with a few simple knots. Combining hand-sewn felt gift bows or garlands with wrapped burlap is a simple twist on the classic method.

It’s A Wrap: DIY Pillow Boxes

UPDATE

Watch the video tutorial for this craft HERE

Apparently, while my mom was pregnant with me, she took a part-time job at Nordstrom (or was it JC Penney?) wrapping gifts for the holiday season. I don’t know if this story is true, or if I pieced together stories to make it to be true. Either way, it’s a great story to tell. Ang Alamat kung bakit mahilig akong mag-wrap ng regalo.

My mom loves to wrap gifts. I remember how our house in Antipolo used to have this pantry that housed all her supplies. We’d have wrapping paper for all occasions. Her stash of ribbons could rival that of Morning Glory’s (in Divisoria). The use of a gift bag was almost considered a sin. Every Christmas, I was always so excited to see what theme she’d come up with. One year, it was a shirt and tie gift bag. Another year, each gift was unique in its Japanese-inspired origami-like wrapping. Soon enough, I’d taken on the challenge myself. Why buy a gift bag when you can DIY?
