SUPPLIES Needed:
- Michaels Story Sticky Notes (they have a ton of fun assorted styles!)
- Xyron Sticker Makers (I used the 1.5″ and the 3″)

How to make Custom Gift Wrap with Michaels Story Sticky Notes:
Check out this quick tutorial and then get out your gift wrap and start decorating! This is also a great project to do with the kiddos!
Now, if written instructions are more your thing, then we have you covered! Check out the instructions box below to see all of the details for this project. Plus, you can even print them or pin them to your favorite Pinterest board!
Also, even though I created more ”generic” gift wrap, you could definitely create this project with a certain holiday in mind!
For example, during the Christmas season, all you would need to do is find some Christmas-themed sticky notes instead of generic ones. Then, from there, you could make this project the same way but end up with some custom Christmas Gift Wrap instead.
So, the next time you are out, make sure you go down the stationary aisle so you can stock up on all of the sticky notes for your future gift wrap needs!
