We all know that wrapping gifts is a BIG part of Christmas. But if you're tired of store-bought paper and recycled, smashed bows, here are ten ways to add a little sparkle to your presents! ✨
Kimberbell Gift Wrapping Tips
-
Use black craft paper and decorate with a chalk pen.
-
Wrap gifts in sheet music, printed newspapers, or old maps, then tie with bright ribbon.
-
Include dried fruit, flowers, pinecones, holly berries, cinnamon sticks, or sprigs of pine and eucalyptus.
-
Add a meaningful photograph and tie with twine.
-
Choose a color scheme and use different (but coordinating) patterns.
-
Decorate plain brown paper with puff paints, markers, pom-poms, washi tape, or other craft supplies. (Involve the kids!)
-
Wrap in fabric for chic furoshiki with scarves, dishtowels, or handkerchiefs as an extra gift.
-
Slip a thoughtful note with the gift tag.
-
Embellish with cookie cutters, ornaments, candy canes, and other small gifts and treats.
-
Add monochromatic shine with silver and gold foil paper and matching metallic ribbon.
And here are some bonus tips: the designs from A Kimberbell Christmas, Vol. 1 would be darling embellishments for your gifts, and don't forget Holiday Jar Toppers and Gift Tags, too!
Well, that's a wrap! (Sorry, couldn't help myself . . .) And remember, wrapping presents is always more fun if you're listening to Christmas music or watching an old classic.
Happy wrapping!
