Backgrounders aren't just for backgrounds anymore! Today I've taken 4 different backgrounders and made wrapping paper for some cute little soaps (measuring 2-5/8"x1-5/8"x5/8").
It's so fun, so easy, and so fast. I used printer paper, and it worked great! How is that for economical, too.
These backgrounders are large and work best when mounted on a solid block. I don't have an acrylic block that is large enough, so I just used the image side of one of my wood mounted backgrounders. It worked like a charm.
It is easy to clean the large backgrounder stamp while on the wood block as well. Then pull it off and replace it with another!
After stamping the image on printer paper, I simply cut it out and wrapped up the soap.
With plenty of paper to spare there was enough to fold over the end to avoid having a raw edge. (I have actually cut off about an inch from the piece below before folding it over. This means a larger piece of soap could have been used.)
After wrapping the soaps, the edges were sponged.
I added ribbon, art flowers, buttons, brads and more to the soaps.
Tags were made using the smallest Nestability die from the Classic Small Rectangle Long set.
I love having a few little gifts on hand. These could be given individually, boxed together or even incorporated into a bow and wrappings on a larger gift. Hope you'll give this a try.
Happy Crafting!
