Time to get wrapping! Are you a lover or hater of wrapping up Christmas gifts? I am a lover! It is one of the best parts if you ask me. You can tie cute bows, string ribbon, and string or add a little greenery to make the present complete. If you are a hater though it can seem like a never-ending task; it doesn’t have to be.
Today I am showing you some ways to take your Christmas wrapping for boring to cute and oh so fun. All you need is a few materials that you might have around the house already.
| What You’ll Need |
- Brown wrapping paper
- Christmas cookie cutters
- Paint (black, white) or any colour you want
- White and black marker
- Ribbon, twine, or string
- Greenery (cedar, pine, berries)
- Tape
- Scissors
- Gift Tags
| Time To Create |
Okay, now that you have all of your supplies lets get to crafting. Start by cutting your plain brown paper to the correct size to wrap each present. Then write what present will be wrapped with each piece of paper on one side of the paper.
Now, flip the paper over and start your decorating. I used cookie cutters dipped in black and white paint to create a rustic stamped look to the paper. Decorate each piece of wrapping paper however you choose, write a Christmas song it, try striped or snowflakes or simple Christmas sayings, like Merry Christmas, Joy or Holly Jolly.
Once the paper has dried it is time to start wrapping. After dress up your gift with some ribbon, twine, or string. Use bows, pompoms or greenery to dress them up even more and finish it off with a cute little gift tag. Here is what it looks like all wrapped up and done! So cute and they look wonderful under the tree too!
