I recently had an opportunity to do a little presentation on how to wrap your Christmas gifts for the Divine Dessert Night at my church. I thought I'd give a little summary here of the ideas I shared. Of course, the ideas are not my own (although the wrapping job is) - bet you can't guess where I went for ideas! (Pinterest of course!)
It's not too hard to add a little extra love to your wrapping this year!
Tier it up with pretty paper:
Pick one print and use it everywhere (see how I did this for my gifts last year):
Use nature - pine cones, cedar branches, cranberries (or cinnamon sticks!):
Just go crazy with the curly ribbon (note: shipping paper is the most inexpensive way to wrap, and easy to accessorize! Plus, most shipping paper rolls have double the amount of paper as a regular roll of gift wrap):
Paper snowflakes (hint: iron it out on low to make it nice and smooth!):
Leftover lace/tulle:
For smaller gifts - old sheet music! (and if you can't bear to rip out a page, photocopy it!):
Eco-Chic magazine wrap with matching bow:
I received lots of comments on this one! Cut paint chips into shapes as gift tags (bonus: it's free!):
Make yarn pom poms (you can find lots of tutorials online if you search around - so simple!):
So there you go! Happy wrapping :)
