gift wrapping

*large white label stickers from any office stationary shops
*3cm wide pin stripe masking tape from mt masking tape
*waxed envelop from seria-100yen store or any stationary shops
*versa craft ink pads from my shop talktothesunsupplies
*hand carved rubber stamp from my shop talktothesun

(note)
to use waxed paper...some stickers are not able to stay well. i tried several different ones...if you wanna draw on waxed paper, please use water proof oil based markers and pens. i also stamp on it directly but in this case i use water proof oil based inks (need to leave it to dry for a while...)

*large white label sticker cut in square from any office stationary shops
*shocking pink masking tape from a homeware shop...(forgot the name)
  but similar items are available from mt masking tape
  or some othermasking tape companies in japan
*versa craft ink pads from talktothesunsupplies
*origami paper from midori
*hand carved rubber stamp from my shop talktothesun

(note)
the way i wrap this one is really simple....it was the way some japanese traditional incense were wrapped or japanese old fashioned letters were wrapped. first, fold the paper 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 but both sides must be over wrapped 2-3cm to cover the inside. then, after becoming like a flat tube...fold the top and the bottom of the opening enough to cover as an envelop. then, reopen it and put your item inside.
hold it not to open and wrap with making tape to cover. finally put the sticker.
this way, you actually no need to cut anywhere or glue....just need to make sure to keep the shape where you fold. so there will be a limit size of item you are going to put inside. if the item is bigger, then, find a bigger piece of paper!
