Add this banner to a brown paper package to make it look festive and even more irresistible. **Made By:** Kelly Hedgespeth **Time:** 10 minutes **Level:** Beginner **Size:** size varies based on size of package **Here's what you need:** - [Glue Dots® Ultra-Thin Dots™](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1018?plpver=1002) - Scraps of Christmas scrapbook paper - Thickers letter stickers - Twine - Scissors ![glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-supplies.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/gift-wrap-merry-banner/glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-supplies.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-supplies.jpg) **Here's what you do:** Wrap the twine around the package several times. Pull the ends tightly in the back and double knot them. Snip off the ends. ![glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-twine-wrapped-gift.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/gift-wrap-merry-banner/glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-twine-wrapped-gift.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-twine-wrapped-gift.jpg) Slide the double knot to the side and add two Ultra-Thin Dots to the package. Scoot the twine back over on top of the Ultra-Thin Dots and press down so the twine will stay in place. ![glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-ultra-thin-dots-on-package.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/gift-wrap-merry-banner/glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-ultra-thin-dots-on-package.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-ultra-thin-dots-on-package.jpg) Cut the paper scraps into 5 inch long by 2.5 inch wide rectangles. Fold the pieces of paper in half. The folded papers will now be 2.5 inch square. ![glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-paper-pieces.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/gift-wrap-merry-banner/glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-paper-pieces.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-paper-pieces.jpg) Use some scrap paper to cut a triangle to use as a guide for cutting. Line up the base of the triangle to the folded edge of each 2.5 inch square paper and use the triangle as a guide to cut out the pennants for the banner. ![glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-triangle-cutting-guide.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/gift-wrap-merry-banner/glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-triangle-cutting-guide.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-triangle-cutting-guide.jpg) Add the letter stickers to the pennants to spell out MERRY. ![glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-letter-thickers-on-banner-pieces.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/gift-wrap-merry-banner/glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-letter-thickers-on-banner-pieces.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-letter-thickers-on-banner-pieces.jpg) For each pennant, add two Ultra-Thin Dots near the fold of the pennant and one near one of the points. ![glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-gluing-paper-pieces-closed.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/gift-wrap-merry-banner/glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-gluing-paper-pieces-closed.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-gluing-paper-pieces-closed.jpg) Then fold the pennant over the middle of the twine and press the two sides of the paper together. Add the pennants to the twine starting with the middle letter of the word. This spaces the middle correctly and then work out to the ends. ![glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-piece-wrapped-around-twine.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/gift-wrap-merry-banner/glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-piece-wrapped-around-twine.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-piece-wrapped-around-twine.jpg) This gift wrap banner can be customized for any occasion by selecting different paper and twine. Leftover scraps of gift wrap can also be used instead of scrapbook paper. ![glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-by-kelly-hedgespeth.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/gift-wrap-merry-banner/glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-by-kelly-hedgespeth.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-merry-gift-wrap-banner-by-kelly-hedgespeth.jpg) ~Kelly - [![Glue Dots](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/glue-dots-logo-1.jpg)](http://www.acmoore.com/storelocator) - [![A.C.

I’m Kelly of Simply Kelly Designs. I began scrapbooking soon after my wedding. After I had children, I decided to switch over to digital scrapbooking so I could stay caught up on my layouts. I loved digital so much that I have been designing and selling digital scrapbook kits and templates for six years. The love of papercrafting has remained with me from my scrapbooking days so most of my crafts involve paper. My design and crafting style is clean and simple. I create with a busy lifestyle in mind so my projects can be completed quickly. ###### Connect With Me [![Facebook](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-facebook-color.png)](https://www.facebook.com/SimplyKellyDesigns) [![Twitter](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-twitter-color.png)](https://twitter.com/SimplyKellyD) [![Where to buy](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/429935/0b6e7638-3b4b-4181-a94a-9171e990a61c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/429935/0b6e7638-3b4b-4181-a94a-9171e990a61c) [![Meet our Makers](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/429935/5308867c-a4b6-464a-9456-8b4302edaa8e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/429935/5308867c-a4b6-464a-9456-8b4302edaa8e) ##### ![Instagram](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/instagram-sm-blue.svg)Instagram ##### ![Pinterest](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-pinterest-sm-blue.svg)Pinterest ##### Connect With Us - [![Twitter](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-twitter-white.svg)](https://twitter.com/GLUEDOTS) - [![Pinterest](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-pinterest-white.svg)](https://www.pinterest.com/gluedots/) - [![Facebook](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-facebook-white.svg)](https://www.facebook.com/GlueDotsFans) - [![Instagram](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-instagram-white.svg)](https://www.instagram.com/gluedots/) [![Get Free Printables](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/429935/145fd5c5-cd52-4a43-87f2-37e90b6a2ce7.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/429935/145fd5c5-cd52-4a43-87f2-37e90b6a2ce7) ### Stick with Us!
