We are pleased to introduce an exclusive presentation from Amy Sheffer.
"Stamping on fabric is easy and fun! Today we’re going to create a unique and reusable fabric gift wrap using linen or cotton cloth and fabric ink. There are many different creative ways to wrap and fold your stamped fabric. I’m excited to share one folding technique that is both adorable and deceptively easy!"
- Pre-wash fabric.
- Apply fabric paint to stamp using a sponge dauber, make-up wedge, or foam brayer. Stamp one corner of the fabric.
- To use stamped fabric as gift wrap, place your fabric square on the diagonal, stamped corner on the bottom and facing up. Place the gift box or gift item in the center of the fabric square.
- Fold the top corner down around the gift item and tuck the end underneath the gift item. Fold the bottom corner up around the gift, then fold the bottom corner back on itself to reveal the stamping. Bring the left and right corners together and tie-in a square knot. Tuck the bottom corner further behind the knot as needed.
- STAMPS: Beautiful Berries: Spring
- OTHER: fabric paint, sponge daubers and/or make-up wedges, linen or cotton fabric
- Now it's your turn! Create a project featuring stamped linen wraps. You can choose to re-create the exact project from Amy above or design your own using the same concepts. Your project must also incorporate at least one Papertrey product.

How easy is this project idea? And I love that the fabric gift wrap can be reused by the recipient too. Things like this that you can customize with stamps allows you to easily make gift sets with matching wraps, cards and tags. Have you used fabric paint with your stamps before? Is this a technique you think you will use often? We look forward to seeing your projects!
So cute Amy! Love this look. My daughter-in-law will love getting packages from me.
This is soooo neat, can’t wait to stamp and wrap up my first gift! Thanks Amy!!
Amazed with the creativity shown here! I would never think of this. I absolutely love the tea towel look of the floral linen square. It’s so cute for wrapping a gift.
What a truly lovely way to wrap a gift. The wrapping is a gift in itself. Wonderful technique..thanks. Cheers.
This is so cute! I love it! Now to decide which stamps to use…
Oh, oh…don’t have any linen on hand cuz’ I didn’t do my homework. But I love your technique and I am familar with “furoshike” wrapping as I am Japanese tho born here in California. 😉
Love the Berries on the fabric! Sweet!
This is really cute! Where did you get the linen?
How pretty!
Just lovely, who wouldn’t want to receive these adorable packages. Love the stamping on fabric!
How very pretty, Amy! I love this idea! What a lovely way to wrap a gift! I will definitely be trying this. Thanks for the great lesson and video!
I have some of my Daddy’s old “dress” hankies I’d like to try for this! But, only as a gift for family!
Very pretty wrapping!
I have a friend who is going to Japan soon. I think I’ll make her a little bit of cloth to wrap a package in to take as a hostess/thank you gift. This is perfect!
Such a pretty way to wrap a gift!
Wow I love this idea! The possibilities are endless.
What a pretty way to give a gift! Seems the package is the present!
Very crafty! What a lovely techique … and very environmentally friendly too. Thanks for inspiring!!!
Neat way to wrap up a gift. Will be trying this!
I haven’t used fabric paint with stamps before. This looks like a fun technique to try on fabric for jar lids for Christmas goodies.
What a wonderful way to wrap a gift.You never know what you’ll learn at PTI!!!!
LOVE this…
has such a vintage feel to it and can’t wait to try it!
I am having so much fun!! This is darling! I love it ♥♥
I’m going to make several of these as scarves for holiday gift wrapping…recycling taken to a new height. Thank you…love it.
I have always loved presents wrapped in fabric. I never thought to make my own! Fabulous!
Very pretty and such a unique way to present a package to someone!
Amy, these are gorgeous!
Darling projects, Amy! My first thought when I saw you using fabric paints on acrylic stamps was that of panic. So glad you mentioned cleaning them quickly!
Oh, wow, Amy…I’ve been doing furoshiki for a few years now, but I never thought of stamping my wraps! Thanks for the suggestion. I have some Colorbox Craft inks that are permanent on fabric when heat set; I think I’ll try those.
I love this idea of wrapping with linen. Thanks for the awesome tips, Amy!
Awesome. I can see another use with a little heavier fabric for dish towels
These are just amazing! Love the look! Now to find some inks or paints! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love both of these, especially the one with the berries!
Pretty and feminine wrapping! Love it!
HOW PRETTY, AMY! This will be FUN to make! OFF to CREATE! 😉
I would have never thought of stamping on cloth. What a creative way to wrap a gift and have something to keep!
Just beautiful! Thank you!
Such pretty packaging!
Oh my! I just love this technique! And I have a bunch of linen to try it out on! Thanks for such a great tutorial and the folding techniques too!
How beautiful. I’ve never seen anyone wrap a rectangular package using fabric! Very pretty. Thanks for the inspiration.

Beautiful! Can’t wait to try this out, I see myself using this quite a bit!
I love how soft the stamping on the cloth looks! Very unique!
This is absolutely beautiful!
So very pretty with the fabric ink – I never imagined stamping with it!
Have never thought of wrapping presents in fabric. Love the look though.
This project took a little time, but it will certainly be one I would like to try again in the future. The look is lovely.
What a sweet idea Amy. I’ve never wrapped a gift in fabric. And PTI berry sets…I need some =)
I love this idea! I still have some of the gorgeous old handkerchiefs of my mom’s & grandma’s. This reminds me of them.
Gorgeous! I never would have used my stamps on fabric. Thanks for the clever idea.
What a wonderful way to use our stamps and love this new technique.
Lovely project and just love the cute folding technique.
Oh my, this is just adorable and so personalized! I’m going to have to get some linen and fabric paint.
This is just gorgeous! I’ve never done fabric stamping before so this is just a wonderful idea.
A lovely way to wrap a crafting project! Thanks for the ideas.
This is such a beautiful idea! So much better than wrapping paper that’s torn off and thrown straight out!
Amy, I adore your packaging and how you wrapped the gift, so clever and so striking! I don’t have that fabric, but I think I will go out and buy some and try this, I love how it looks!! Thank you!
It´s a nice and different way to wrap gifts – thanks for the inspiration !
Beautiful I can’t wait to stamp some fabrics!
This was fun and easy to do and really makes a nice gift! Thanks Amy for sharing this technique with us.
Oh how pretty. Like the idea of using paints so pattern doesn’t wash out! Very nice.
What a great way to wrap a gift. Very pretty!
I think this would be great for a set of tea towels. I will have to give it a try-I just adore the vintage look.
I like how it looks like an embroidered tea towel. What a fun way to wrap up a small gift.
Oh this linen packaging would be perfect for Food Gifts,
around Christmas time :-p
I used one of the linen napkins that matches a tablecloth from my MIL, guess I’m going to have to finish off the set of eight using different flowers now, huh?
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing it Amy.
These are so sweet. I’d love the get a package wrapped that way.
What a pretty wrap!!!
I love this, thanks for sharing!
Cute packaging idea! A gift wrapped with another gift! I don’t have any fabric paint, so I am not sure if I can play along with this, but I love the look and the idea. Great job, Amy! 🙂
This is so creative and unique!! I absolutely love this idea. Gonna be doing this for sure for Christmas this year!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Your projects are beautiful.
Love the fabric wrapping paper!
Such a beautiful result on linen! I’m looking forward to trying this.
So pretty! I’m going to have to get a linen napkin & give this a try sometime.
Lovely!! Truly lovely!!! I can’t wait to try this technique.
Such a wonderful idea!! I love it!
great gift wrapping idea!
I never really thought about wrapping gifts in fabric. I love how you can create your own for an unique look!
Love this idea, Amy! And the wrap is so beautiful!!
very cool! I really like this idea!
Very pretty! I’m looking forward to trying this when I get the cloth to make it.
How cool is that – getting a present wrapped in fabric! I’d be jumping in excitement!!! Thank you for inspiration, Amy!
This was such fun! Can’t wait to do it again. Purchased 1 yd of linen, plenty for more wrap!
How lovely! What a charming way to wrap gifts.
LOVE this beautiful fabric gift wrap! So perfect for my homemade kitchen gifts! I will be making some for the holidays this year. Thanks for the awesome video and tips on paint and stamping on fabric.
So beautifully done! Looks amazing!
Those berries look so pretty stamped on fabric.
I’ve been known to buy inexpensive stamps to use with paint. I’m always afraid I’ll ruin my good stamps if I use paint on them.
Beautiful! I have never tried stamping on fabric!
Amy’s projects are stunning! What a beautiful gift idea.
Another one of my favorite techniques from this year’s SAF event!
So pretty Amy! And it looks awesome!
This is a beautiful idea! Love it!
This was a quick, easy, and fun challenge! I’ll definitely be doing more of these!
can’t wait to gift this!
Very pretty!
What a great fun and informative tutorial. Loved it. Great idea for gift wrapping all year round.
My Japanese friends do these & they always look so elegant.
Beautiful projects! The stamping almost looks like embroidery!
What a pretty way to reduce our footprint and make a double gift! Love this idea of using the traditional anniversaries for PTI’s 10th!
I need a bigger piece of fabric but I made a card for now with linen scraps from curtain samples. It stamps surprisingly well!
So pretty! I wouldn’t want to give it away!
2017 SAF was THE event of all crafting events! I loved that there were 3 days of fun crafty activity! I managed to complete 14 of the 21 challenges. SO MUCH FUN!! Thank you PTI for putting on such an amazing event!!
Beautiful project!
This is so pretty! I would like to use this idea on squares of fabric to wrap bread in inside baskets for the different Holidays. It would also be a great gift to give the basket with inserts stamped for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas as well as a few that were more versatile, like florals.
Love the berries stamped here and love the creative wrapping! Would make any gift over-the-top special!
I have added textile medium to acrylic paint so I could stamp foam stamps on canvas bags but haven’t used my acrylic stamps to stamp on fabric. Amy’s fabric gift wrap is so pretty.
Love Amy’s images on the fabric wrap! The packages look so pretty this way!
