Step One: Wrapping

Before we can get to all the fun stamps and whatnot, we need to make sure the package is wrapped!

I love to use brown paper for mine. It's a simple classic way to create that vintage "straight from the post office" look.

Step Two: Adding Twine

This step is optional, but I like the effect of the brown paper with the twine, so we always use it!

Wrapping the twine off-centered allows the address to be centered if you want. Or you can make the twine centered and the address off-centered. Totally up to you!

Step Three: Adding Stamps

Download your free Christmas stamps at the end of the original post and then choose a few to cut out for each package!

I like to use at least 3 and overlap them.

Make sure you also cut out your “Inspected by Elf No: ___ ” stamp too!

Once you have your placement down, grab some Scotch® Gift Wrap Tape. This is perfect for going over the stamps because the matte finish makes it practically invisible!

Step Four: Customizing

I like the change the "Inspected by Elf No: ___" for each package to give it a little extra Christmas magic!

Or you could even use the Elf Number as a code! Give each family member their own Elf Inspector and keep the code a secret until Christmas morning!

See how sweet this vintage Christmas stamps are? I just love them, and there are a ton to choose from on the free download!

Once you have all the stamps on, finish up with a few final touches.

Address the package with name and address, or their bedroom location for a little magical fun. And add your Elf Inspector number!

Now you have the perfect way to deck out your tree and create some extra Christmas magic!

I am going to do this for all 3 of our great-grandchildren next year! I just love it. What a wonderful way to surprise a child with a special gift from Santa. Thank you for the idea. I'll have to check out the scrap booking stuff for special embleshments.
