OHdeerME Crafty Kits from Freckled Fawn

Freckled Fawn Autumn OHdeerME Kit

Freckled Fawn Autumn OHdeerME Kit

Filled with enticing tags and tapes, one of my favorite online supply shops is Freckled Fawn.

It’s a store fit for crafty imaginations, creative gift wrappers, and those only slightly obsessed with the wonderful world of washi tape. Ahem…

Beyond Doe’s delightful collection—hello woodgrain and arrows and birds on a wire—Freckled Fawn puts together seasonal bundles of indie goods and supplies called OHdeerME Kits.

To the aforementioned gang of craftmongers, these kits are way better than a box of chocolates.

I mean look at that Autumn lot (up top), wooden leaves, cork clouds! I don’t yet know what I’d do with them but that’s hardly the point. Amiright?

The OHdeerME Kits do have a tendency to sell out so act quickly if you wish to claim one.

Crafty Wrapping: MOO Cards Gift Embellishments

MOO Cards Gift Embellishments by Lillian Chang

If you’ve been to a conference or event in the last few years where people are handing out business cards, chances are you received a MOO Card.

Especially recognizable for their Mini Card print size (about half as tall as a standard business card), the thing that makes MOO unique is a feature they call Printfinity. It’s a quirky name for their service that allows customers to put a different image on every card printed at no extra charge.

Dots, Stripes, Chevrons & Flags! Versatile Gift Wrap by Fig. 2

Fig. 2 Design Gift Wrap - Stripes, Dots, Chevrons

Gift Wrap by Fig. 2

I’m a big fan of gift wrap that works for any occasion, either gender, any age. A few rolls of versatile wrapping paper will ensure you’re prepared in a pinch and keep your wrap stash tidy.

Kraft paper is the ultimate go-to. You can dress it up or down, make it look rustic and earthy or sleek and modern.

But let’s go beyond the brown and add a few more rolls to the mix. Fig 2.’s gift wrap comes in a variety of patterns and colorways that are instantly festive and easily embellished however you choose. Keep it simple with twine or go wild with ribbon!

It should come as no surprise, I have a slight obsession with chevrons. I’m not the only one. You too? From skirts to swimsuits, rugs to pillows, they’ve turned up everywhere this summer.

As Bob Ross would say, “everyone loves a happy little zigzag.” Well I imagine he would.

This roundup of gift wrap related chevrons has been known to make a person giddy. You’ve been warned.

Have you seen these? Oh I’m so sad I missed them prior to Mother’s Day, but happy to have found them today! Stephanie Brubaker’s bloom gift toppers are such a simple idea with such a lovely result—and what fun to go collect all those flowers.

Stephanie uses basic kraft gift boxes, a little washi tape, and sprigs and stems of herbs and blooms from her yard and nearby. I’m thinking gifts for weddings, birthdays, baby showers—they’d all look great with flowers!

Make Your Own Baker’s Twine

DIY Baker's Twine by A Step in the Journey

I love the simple look of baker’s twine on a wrapped gift. Don’t you? But when you want a spool in every color (which of course we do—rainbows are the BEST) it can start to eat away at your twine budget.

So I was quite excited when I came across Laura Beth’s clever DIY Baker’s Twine. It’s not what you might think. You won’t be spending hours trying to twist and twirl little strings. Nope, LB uses Sharpies and white thread to create a similar look to baker’s twine and the result is really impressive.

Sharpies! It’s so dead simple, we all should have thought of it. But we didn’t. Laura Beth did. And you can follow along with her handy tips to make your own over on A Step in the Journey.
