Decorative Stickers using Gift Wrapper

Used, gift wrapper for this project. This wrapper was with me for the last 4 years which I saved after carefully removing it with a hope it may be of some use in my craft works.

Recently when I was organizing things, I saw this and wanted put it to use. So quickly came the idea of decorating the plain door at the entrance. 

Being an animal lover, decided to bring in the birds and animals into the work as it brings life into it. So surfed the net for some wildlife theme and finally hit upon these beautiful stags. Drew it on a plain A4 size paper and copied the design into the gift wrapper using a carbon paper.

Working with gift wrapper is not an easy task as it is very thin and tears-off easily during drawing, cutting as well as sticking procedure. Very smooth to handle, slips off the hand easily. So should be done carefully & patiently.

I have taken two types of photos. One with Flash and one without Flash. Sharing both the photos here.



Without Flash


The above one is without flash. Giving below the 'with flash' effect... see the beautiful hues of colours reflecting...




On the side panel I made this small decorative sticker....



Our neighbour's grand daughter - a toddler, is attracted by this work and her mischievous fingers do play with these stickings frequently because of the shine & hues of colours this sticker creates.... :-)  But it brings a smile in me as it only brings the picture of 10 little fingers in my mind :D
