A Very Special Gift Love Poem Paper Craft Project

Every year the women at my church get together to make hundreds of the A Very Special Gift Love Poems that we print out on cardstock and then decorate with a little paper gift package. Many of us then use them as inserts in greeting cards that we send throughout the year. Appropriate to send out or give out year round!

To make them you’ll need cardstock, a printer, scissors, scraps of gift wrap, ribbon, clear tape, and scrapbooking glue dots. You’ll find the poem below. You may need to resize it.

This is a very special gift,
That you can never see.
The reason it’s so special is
It’s just for you, from me.

Whenever you are lonely,
Or ever feeling blue,
You only have to hold this gift
And know I think of you.

You never can unwrap it,
Please leave the ribbon tied.
Just hold the box close to your heart,
It’s filled with love inside.

We fit 8 of them onto one sheet of cardstock when printing them out. You’ll cut them down to size, about the size of a recipe card. When inserting them into a greeting card you shouldn’t have to add any additional postage if the cardstock that you’re using is light enough.

Cut out a bunch of 1 1/4″ squares from scraps of cardstock. Cut out a larger square from the scrap of gift wrap. Fold the gift wrap around the square…tacking it down in the back with a small piece of clear tape. Wrap the square with scraps of ribbon. Adhere the little package onto the card with a scrapbooking glue dot.
