DIY Giftwrap Roundup

Giftwrapping, especially at Christmastime, is an obsession of mine. 

I LOVE it.

It must be the creative side in me,

 but I'd rather wrap the gift all pretty than shop for the actual gift :) 

I love coming up with and finding new ideas to use each year. 

The bonus is that they are a great addition under the tree :) 

I've rounded up some of my favorite ideas for you to try out yourself. 

Some of these I will be trying out this year myself 

and some are tried and true from last year. 

The best advice I can give you is to buy a couple rolls of brown kraft paper. 

You can get it at any craft store

 or I found this website where you can buy it in bulk online

 if you really have a lot of gifts to wrap :) 

I have almost completely stopped buying patterned paper 

unless I find something really unique that I love, 

because you can do so many different 

and creative things just by adding to the brown paper.    

1 // Felt Boxes 

- so simple, but love that it adds some texture - 

2 // Pom Pom Nose Reindeer Giftwrap 

- all you need is a stamp and some micro mini pom poms - 

3 // Sharpie Giftwrap

- a sharpie and white paint pen can go a long way - 

4 // Craft Stash Giftwrap

- raid your craft stash and use tissue paper, yarn, 

and felt balls to brighten up your packages.

Here is a great tutorial for making your own yarn pom poms, 

and I always get my felt balls from this Etsy shop. -

5 // Origami Bows

- I made these last year and loved them! - 

6 // Wood Slice Gift Tags

- If you don't have access to wood to cut your own,

 I saw pre-cut ones for sale at Michael's. 

I can't wait to try this one out! -
