As my family & friends know, I love to wrap gifts. To me the package is as important as the gift itself. There is an extra delight in receiving a gift that has been thoughtfully packaged. I designed these 2 pages of gift wrap to inspire you to wrap your Mother’s Day gift in this fresh, bright color palette. There are 2 pages to the PDF template that can be printed onto a letter weight 11X17 inch paper. The handmade paper peony is a perfect gift topper for your Mother’s Day gift. If you need to remember how to tie the perfect bow, you can review that post as well. Your mother will be proud! ~Lia

To make the perfect straight bow you can refer to my 
Peonies are my favorite flowers. They are a little wild looking, yet so elegant. There are so many varieties in both shape and color. I have been brewing on how to make a paper peony from something other than crepe paper, which is no easy task. Here is what I came up with. I picked a text weight paper called Strawberry from Paper Source to make this flower. Friday I will show you some different ways you might use this Peony for Mother’s Day. ~Lia
I was inspired to make this paper flower backdrop by one of our favorite wedding websites. So simple and lovely, I can see a few other uses for this garland backdrop that goes beyond wedding. For now, it will remain a beautiful wall sculpture against our charcoal wall.
