DIY Holiday Wreath

·

Happy Holidays! To make the office a bit more festive we decided to made some easy wreaths from our Jillson & Roberts tissue paper. The process was simple and we love how they turned out!

Wreath2

To make your own, first cut a wreath shape out of cardboard in the desired size – our finished wreaths are about 18″ in diameter. Then cut 5″ squares of tissue paper in your chosen colors. For the green wreath we used FT13 and FT35, with FT09 for the berries. The red and white is FT09 and FT24. Then take each tissue square, pinch the bottom center, and pull all the edges up together to form a cone like puff. Once you have a bunch of these made, lay down double sided tape all over one side of the cardboard wreath and stick down the bottom center of each tissue puff until you achieve the desired fullness on your wreath. For the red/white wreath we alternated between using red and white tissue to form stripes. Once done hang with a ribbon of your choice – we used FR5924. Perfect to add some DIY decor to your store or home!

We’re back with part 2 of our holiday season bottle wrapping inspiration! We love seeing all the ways Jillson & Roberts products can transform a simple bottle into an extraordinary gift. We can’t wait to put these ideas to use over the coming weeks as we enjoy time with family and friends!

HolidayParty

Rachel
This great wrapping idea is from one of our designers, Rachel. She used a mix of paper and tissue to create a unique and elegantly wrapped present that could work for a multitude of occasions! To create the look she used silver and gold striped tissue (PT337), glittered paper (R419), gold ribbed paper (R995), and some black and gold ribbon (FR1021+FR0921).

 

WeddingGift

Jessica

Our order entry expert Jessica wrapped a bottle to gift at a winter wedding. She used three tissues (PT337, MM15, RT15), and one of our gorgeous glittered curlies (CL83). The result will make your wedding gift a hit for sure!

Christmas

Marlen
Our Purchaser, Marlen, made a gift perfect for a Christmas party! She used Clear Cello (CE829) lined with our Traditional Nutcracker Tissue (XPT611). Then finished it off with a bow (FR3209) and foil tag (XST525)! Guaranteed to bring some Christmas cheer to any party!
NewYears

Maggie

Gifting the Bottle this Winter Season – Part 1

·

Along with the cooler weather and winter holidays, come parties and gatherings galore! Since a nice bottle of wine (or sparkling cider) is a great gift to take to any event this season we challenged some of our team here at Jillson & Roberts to wrap a bottle for a few common occasions. We are always impressed with the creativity of our Jillson team! Here are the events and wrapping solutions we saw:

ThanksGiving

LauraFirst up we have Thanksgiving! It’s right around the corner and one of our designers, Laura, used some Yellow tissue and Natural crinkle (FT12+CS18) along with some paint to make sunflowers. Then attached them to our Metallic Gold bottle tote (BT915), added some Metallic Gold tissue (MM15) and completed the look with a tassel made from raffia and curling ribbon (PR18, MC15, PC27). Perfect to show thanks to your hostess on Thanksgiving or for any Fall dinner party!

WinterBirthday

Our Customer Service Manager Ryan, prepped his bottle to be the perfect gift at a winter Birthday party! He used our gorgeous holographic Sparkleflake bottle tote (XBT676) paired with a simple white tissue (FT24). Perfect to celebrate a birthday or other winter gathering!

BlackTie

Janel Our Art Director, Janel, made her bottle black tie ready! Perfect for a fancy soiree or wedding! She used our Clear Cello (CE829) and added clippings from various colored tissues to make an amazing confetti effect. Paired with a black and white paper bow tie and some gold ribbon it’s definitely a show stopper!

 

Hanukkah

Nataly
Our Order Entry Specialist, Nataly, made a picture perfect gift for a Hanukkah celebration! She used our Silver Sparkle tote (BT750) paired with metallic tissues (GS16+RT16).

DIY Paper Pumpkins

·

Fall is Here! It’s time for pumpkin everything (especially pies and lattes…)! To spice up the office we made some paper pumpkins from J&R wraps (R927 + R449) and grosgrain curlies (GL922 + GL927). To make some yourself cut strips of wrap in various widths, pleat and make into paper fan circles. Stack and glue to form a pumpkin shape. Then add a stick or dowel for the stem and curlies for leaves!

DIY: Custom Party Hats

·

What’s a party without a festive hat? We love how easy it is to turn our Jillson & Roberts gift wrap into a unique, personalized party hat. Perfect to coordinate with whatever your party theme may be!

We even created a template to make it easy for you to create hats of your own. Download our template here and print it on legal size paper. Then cut out and trace onto your favorite J&R gift wrap. We chose Birthday Chalk R426 and Black & Silver R991. We also cut strips of Lime 941 and Turquoise 939 to make fringe on the bottom of the hat. Before folding the paper into a cone use double sided tape to attach the fringed paper(cut with regular or special fringe scissors) to the inside bottom of the hat. Then fold the paper into a cone and tape the tab into the slit cut on the opposite end (see template).

To finish it off we added some awesome multi-color curlies – Elegant CL03 and Carnival CL11 – to the top, and some paper raffia string to either side, to allow it to be tied on! See the steps below and the finished product on our beautiful models Nataly and Marlen! Enjoy!

DIY Paper Earrings

·

Here at Jillson & Roberts our wrap is so fashionable that we often find ourselves coming up with ways to wear it…We love all the big earrings we’ve been seeing on fashion blogs and runways so we decided to translate our Action Graphix (R319) into a wearable piece of art for your ears! The vibrant colors and shimmer of foil worked perfectly for this striking fashion statement!

Earrings1
STEP 1: To start we spray mounted the back of two sheets of wrap together (to make it double sided) and cut out 1.5″ circles.

DIY Paper Earrings 2
STEP 2: We then punched a small hole in the top (to later add the earring hook) and used some Mod Podge to create a lacquered look. Once completely dry we did the back side also.

STEP3: We added a small metal connecting ring and earring hook (available at most craft stores).

STEP4: And finally we had Marlen (one of our amazing customer service representatives) model them for a day – during which she had many people compliment her and ask where she got them.
