How ready are you for the big day? Have you finished wrapping all your Christmas presents yet? I enjoy shopping for gifts for other people, but I specially love wrapping them! I would have made a good wrapper girl ;) Lol. This year I went the traditional wrapping paper route with our gifts because I found this awesome Peanuts Christmas paper I couldn't resist. Hubby and I have a thing for Peanuts. Snoopy actually played a big part in our courtship, but more on that some other time! I love finding creative ways of wrapping presents, and today I'd like to share some of my favorite ideas.
Maps, newspapers, and other clippings can be used in lieu of the traditional wrapping paper.
How about fabric? It's easy and really adds a personal touch. The first photo of this post above (of the woman holding the gifts), is also fabric. Pretty!
Love this color combo! Dark or neutral tones against neon? Very hip.
Yarn is one of those materials that just screams Christmas, doesn't it? Just wrap it around your gifts in interesting patterns.
I thought this was a really fun idea. You can use your children's artwork as wrapping paper. It's a fun project for them, plus I bet Grandma or Daddy would love to receive their gifts wrapped like this.
Easy, simple, elegant.
What a great idea to use colored bulbs instead of the classic bows!
One of my personal favorites: craft paper. Some pretty ribbon or raffia, and done. It's so simple, yet presents always look like you put a lot of thought into wrapping them.
The perfect gift tags for your fellow designers: paint chips!
Velvet ribbon makes everything fancier.
This was so cute, pasta bows! As you can see, when it comes to gift wrapping the possibilities are endless! How are you wrapping your gifts this year? If you're doing something really pretty, unusual or creative, email me a picture and I'll post it!images: 1-8 Martha Stewart/ 9 Good Housekeeping/ 10 here/ 11 here/ 12-14 Real Simple
