Last year I designed wrapping paper for family friends just for fun. After sharing with my community on social, the response was clear that I should run it back this season and make it available for purchase...so that's exactly what I decided to do. I collaborated with my friends UNWRP, INC to produce three paper designs for the holidays ✨ 1: Blk Santa 2: Mrs. Claus  3: “SLL” A signature Laci pattern = ) The fine print: You can buy the paper by the roll or by the sheet (in case you want to frame it instead). The paper is a matte luxe weight, she's thick, wrap accordingly. Order ship out 12/16, ensuring you'll receive them before you gotta wrap your gifts. Share and tell a friend = ) Shop Link: https://lnkd.in/gSHfJTWB
