My Spoonflower shop is called India pied-à-terre because everything there is India-inspired design. There’s holiday wrapping paper! It’s big over-scaled Indian block print holiday paper. Here’s a re-run of last year’s post so new followers don’t miss out this year, if you want to order some …
Head on over to Spoonflower to get some gift wrap paper …
The designs are big and dramatic. Because India is not a shy place. These are great prints for larger gift boxes. You can use them artfully on small packages too – one motif on a paper might cover an entire small box like this one which is an 8x8x8 box:
I cut a strip of the paper’s red border to make a paper ribbon.
All the designs were inspired by India’s block print textiles. Block printed fabrics are printed with wooden blocks, and the blocks are traditionally painstakingly carved by hand. So the designs on these wrapping papers have a hand-carved quality. Like, they are not 100% perfect as they might be if made by machine.
For this Christmas and holiday collection, I chose jewel colors and golds. And some colors are a bit offbeat for the holidays but still very festive – to me, chartreuse and violet are like the green and red of India.
And may I also suggest, you could use these papers for decoupage and DIY projects too. They can be used for more than wrapping gifts. Spoonflower prints on quality paper – this is nice thick paper! It’s not thin paper that you must double up so people can’t see the what the gift is before they even open it. We’ve all run into that and it’s so annoying. I wouldn’t do that to you – I searched hard for a way to print quality gift wrap.
The wrapping paper is 6 feet long by 26 inches wide. A roll can wrap about four medium size gifts.
You can get them at Spoonflower! There are 15 designs and color combos to choose from!
