Make Your Own Gift Wrap

Posted by on Dec 22, 2006 | 6 Comments

It’s down to the wire and you’re out of gift wrap. There’s not a store open and even if there were, they’d likely be sold out of everything but the ugliest roll of overpriced wrapping paper.

Don’t despair!

There’s a good chance you have all that you need to get those last minute presents wrapped. This little trick is especially good for smaller gifts, like the gift cards you picked up at the quickie mart on the way home from work or the pair of earrings you grabbed while running through the mall at lunch.

This video tutorial will show you how to turn your printer into a bona fide gift wrap printing press, using an image editing program (aka: Photoshop) and the Xaos Tools Terrazzo plug-in for easy seamless tiling.
If you’re a CorelDRAW user, you may be in luck … the Terrazzo plug-in shipped with some versions of Corel PHOTO-PAINT. (If not, there’s a demo available.)
I tried to post the video here, but Word Press didn’t like it.

Here’s a link to the how to make gift wrap video.

    The Registry Editor does have a Find tool that you can use to search for a subkey or value.

    Two thousand years ago the Roman Senate gave the people their sects (religions) and their games (the smokescreens) to occupy them while the Senate did what they wanted to do — in secret. Times haven’t changed.

    Hahaha! Too good to be free! The price may look expensive at a first glance, but then you consider all the points you’ve highlighted and other disabilities that time will reveal to us about iTunes the price may be worthy for something you will pay just once instead of a regular-fee service.
