8 Easy Gift Wrapping Tips
Great tips on how to easily wrap your gifts beautifully and thoughtfully this Christmas!
Gift wrapping can be so fun, and sometimes the wrapping itself is as beautiful as the gift. I love looking at wrapped packages, and I’ve been known to wrap empty boxes just to look at them! (I mean who has all of their shopping done four weeks ahead of time?!) Here are some great tips to keep your wrapping affordable, fun, and unique!
Tip 1: Use leftover ribbon from previous projects.
Most of us have loads of extra ribbon lying around from completed projects, and Christmas is a great time to use those extra few yards. When paired with neutral paper, almost any color ribbon can become “Christmas ribbon.”

Tip 2: Bring the outdoors inside.
Use readily accessible greenery in and around your gifts. A Christmas Rosemary Wreath is always a pretty addition. Also included in this tutorial are the banners!

Tip 3. Use everyday items found around your home.
You may have seen me use these skis in my holiday decor the past few years. There are great items in and around your home to use as a topper- why not try two wooden spoons? There is no reason why you can’t use fun and unique toppers for gifts. You can even make the topper as part of the gift!
