How to Gift Wrap with a Chalkboard Look

Chalkboard Gift Wrap

Add a little chalk marker, and our Chalkboard Gift Wrap looks just like a chalkboard! See our entire Chalkboard Collection here! You can also use these markers, available at most craft supply stores or online like our favorite Chalk Ink, on our 100% Recycled Black Kraft Shopping Bags or Black Merchandise Bags (below). 

Chalkboard Favor BagsUse a regular pencil to sketch out your design first, then trace over it with the chalk marker. Once the marker is dry, you can erase the pencil marks. Top the gift with some of our new Burlap Twine for an adorable, handmade look. And don’t be concerned if your lettering doesn’t look “perfect” – that’s part of the charm!

Watch the video below for a few gift wrap tips, including using a tape measure to help cut the wrap to the correct size and double-stick tape for a more finished look.

    Priscilla, this is a great post! I’ve been looking for interesting wrapping ideas for my boyfriend’s birthday and came across this. It’s an old post but I’ve never seen this before – thanks for the idea.

    Wow this is such a good idea! I always have excess of ribbon when I should really be using some twine from around the house. Thanks for the inspiration!

      We found ours at the local Hobby Lobby – but you could find them at Michael’s or other craft supply stores. I’ve seen them on Amazon, too. 🙂

    I love this idea. I only wish that Nashville Wraps would offer this paper roll in the 24″ x 100′ size. Please, please put in a request for that! Thank you!

    I love this idea and tutorial!! Quick question, I liked the pencil you showed in the video. It seemed to have a rectangular eraser. What brand was the pencil?

    What a brilliant idea! I wish I could find the time to do this. Also, I wish I had a little better hand writing but I think this is darling. Well done!

    Great idea Priscilla, so fun, and simple. I’ve always had double stick tape around, but never thought to use it on my gift wraps, so another fine suggestion.
