It's a Wrap
Burton Girls |
For some, wrapping is a mundane and unenjoyable task. But, for others like me, it is part of what makes the holidays special. I am never content just wrapping a gift and slapping a pre-made bow on it. Rather, I like presents that almost look too good to open. To me it says that I care a lot about the person opening it to take the time to make it look as good as the present is inside.
Here are some inspiring gift wrapping ideas to try out yourself. Some are easy and others are for those who want a challenge.
Simple craft style wrapping paper, a coordinating fabric ribbon and a paper initial look stylish under the tree but make identifying the receiver a breeze.
In My Own Style |
Effortlessly beautiful, this present is wrapped in simple white paper, tied with string and adorned with a rosemary sprig.

Want a challenge? Put Santa suits on some of all of your presents. How cute is this?
E How |
Create beautiful designs on plain wrapping paper with a marker or stamp. The more random the pattern the better it looks.

Layer it. Layer different but coordinating wrapping papers for an elegant presentation.
Moms by Heart |
Embellish it. Add floral picks, beautiful gift tags, bells, small ornaments or whatever you wish to add some flair to your packages.
For the best results, and most enjoyable experience, always use good quality wrapping paper. It lays nicely and does not tear easily. Fabric ribbon is also easy to tie and looks elegant. Try your hand at one of these designs and take your gift giving to a whole new level. Check back with me to see how my wrapping came out.
Happy Holidays!
