What Can You Create with the 'Wrapping Design Kit'?

With the 'Wrapping Design Kit', you can create designs for all kinds of wrapping items such as gift boxes, small envelopes, and more ♡

Using it is simple: create your favorite design online, choose your items, and download the template.

Once you print it on paper, you’ll have your original wrapping paper ♡

By being creative with the paper you print on, you can also make boxes or postcards.

It sounds fun to create unique wrapping using our own photos or favorite illustrations ♡

I decided to give it a try right away!＊

Let's Make Wrapping Paper with the Wrapping Design Kit ① Choose How to Make It

First, select how you want to create your design on the 'Wrapping Design Kit' website.

There are two methods: "Template" or "Original."

The template method allows you to choose from over 20 fixed frames, into which you can insert your photos and customize.

The original method lets you use stamps or your favorite images to freely design from a completely blank slate.

Let's Make Wrapping Paper with the Wrapping Design Kit ② Choose a Template

This time, I decided to create from a "Template" ♡

The templates include many designs that can be used for weddings. I found the cute pink design in the top left, so I’ll base my design on that!

You can also change the background color, so depending on the photos and colors you choose, the final result could look completely different.

I place my chosen images inside the template's frame, adjusting their size and angle.

Since this template allows for two images, I selected two couple photos ♡

It would also be nice to choose two solo shots of the bride and groom♩

After fitting the photos into the template, I next select an item.

This time, I’ll try the "Triangle Pack"!

It can be used in various ways, such as for placing candies or chocolates for small gifts, or for putting ribbon or flower petals for a flower shower.
