Our buddy Chris from ManMade created this clever typographic gift wrap using craft paper and an old book. If you’re hesitant to start hacking up tomes however, you could try magazines or newspapers for the same print effect. For a more colorful spin, I love the idea of using Chris’ downloadable alphabet templates with bright neon card stock or patterned scrapbook paper! Whatever you decide, gather up your dutiful brown craft paper and grab your trusty Xacto. Then head on over to ManMade for the full tutorial and free typeface downloads (there are 4 to choose from). Happy crafting!
