As designers we often take pride in our wrapping concepts and execution, sometimes spending more energy on the package than the gift held within—this, is no money maker and won’t pay the bills. But if you can bring together the passion for wrapping with an actual product, well then, you just might be on to something like Carolyn Clingman managed to do.

Project Description
I've always loved wrapping papers and patterns and had the time to try some designs on my own. I had saved a small sample sheet of wrapping paper of dogs from years ago and I was inspired by my late dog Maggie and new dog Rosie and thought a dog-theme could be a fun project to try. After many designs to choose from and great feedback from fellow designers, I thought I had a niche and would try to sell my products.Production Lesson(s)
It pays to spend extra to have your designs printed by a good, reputable printer.
