So you're planning to use gift bags for your holiday gift wrapping but you are not quite sure how many sheets of tissue paper you will need and whether you should use solid or printed tissue papers. Great questions that we are asked all year round.
Today we are going to try to answer some of these gift wrapping questions and give you a little holiday gift wrapping inspiration at the same time!
"Fox" Winter Wonderland (5" x 3" x 8") gift bag + 1 sheet of Winter Wonderland printed tissue + 1 sheet of gold metallic tissue.
Smaller gift bags only need two sheets of tissue paper.
Here we combined a printed tissue paper with the gold metallic tissue paper to compliment the gold foil details on the bag.
"Robin" Winter Wonderland (8" x 4.5" x 10") gift bag + 1 or 2 sheets of Winter Wonderland printed tissue + 2 sheets of gold metallic tissue.
Medium sized bags can be finished off with two or three sheets of tissue paper. It's really up to you!
"Deer" Winter Wonderland (10" x 5" x 13") gift bag + 1 sheet of gold & white Reindeer printed tissue + 2 sheets of gold metallic tissue.
Larger bags like this one require three or four sheets of tissue paper.
We like to mix printed tissue with solid tissue paper for two reasons - 1. it looks good and 2. it is often more cost effective to use solid coloured tissue paper vs. printed or speciality papers.
"Flowers & Pinecones" Winter Wonderland (16" x 6" x 12") gift bag + 2 sheets of printed tissue (Winter Wonderland & Holiday Garden) + 2 sheets of white tissue + 2 sheets of gold metallic tissue.
This extra large gift bag has a lot going on with six pieces of tissue paper. We could have got away with using just 4 sheets of tissue paper but we decided to go big on this one by mixing two printed tissue papers with the white and gold tissue.
