Merry Memories
The holidays are a time for family, so what better way to adorn your Christmas gifts than with black and white photographs of loved ones. Whether you use photocopies or the originals photos, the people and events they recall will bring back the merriest of memories!
Chalkboard Tidings
We love chalkboard art for its doodle potential, which makes this inspired wrapping project a crafting good time! Simply wrap your gifts with black craft paper and pick up a few white paint markers from your local scrapbook or art supplies store, and start doodling those tidings of joy!
Stamped With Spirit
The gift-wrapping possibilities are endless when it comes to craft paper and holiday stamps! Easily coordinate a set of gift boxes by wrapping and stamping them in reverse colour schemes and patterns for a fun, festive and graphic look.
Snow Splatter
Dreaming of a white Christmas? Dip a paintbrush in white acrylic paint and flick your brush a few feet away from parcels wrapped in uncoated paper and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Bows & Brooches
Take an ordinary bow and make it dazzle with vintage brooches and decorative pins. Simply fasten sparkly baubles to the center of your ribbon to add elegance and Victorian charm to your beautifully wrapped gifts.
Wrapped In Words
Wrap your parcels with pages torn (or photocopied) from the gift recipient’s favourite magazines, old books or novels and tie a bow around it with a sprig of berries as the finishing touch. A gift wrapped in words is an unexpected way to personalize a special surprise!
Tinsel Trimmings
It doesn’t get more festive than tinsel! Hugely popular in the 1950s, tinsel has remained the ultimate source of shimmer and shine for holiday decorating. Try embellishing wrapped gifts with gold and silver tinsel - cut it, twist it, shred it, any way you like it!
Hearts & Twigs
Gifts made with love are the best kind! Get this look by sketching playful hearts on white craft paper using black markers. Affix a small stem of greenery to the center with a piece of bright coloured washi tape and you’ve got yourself a lovely gift straight from the heart!
Tree Toppers
Add rustic flair to presents with mini tree toppers. Cut sticks into 4 pieces and glue edges together in a tree formation. Wrap and glue embroidery thread around the sticks to bring the tree to life and finish it off with a cutout star!
