Gift Wrapping Ideas
If you're tired of your gifts looking like
everyone else's, put some creative thought to
it. Gifts don't have to just be paper and
ribbon that you bought at the store. Let some
of these ideas inspire you.
-
Name Tags -
Instead of using name tags, use the front
cover from leftover Christmas or other
holidays. Just cut along the crease and
glue or tape the card to the top of your
wrapped package. Most designs have some
unprinted space to allow you to write the
name of the recipient and a short note.
-
Decoration -
Instead of using ribbons and bows, make the
decoration part of the gift. Tie a bunch of
cinnamon stick on top with ribbon. Tie your
package with satin or velvet ribbon and let
the ends of the ribbon flow down the
package. Add a silk flower inserted in the
knot of the bow. If your recipient likes to
cook, tie wooden kitchen utensils in the
bow. Your ribbon or wrapping paper could be
replaced with a decorative kitchen towel.
-
Festive boxes
- For small items, buy small Chinese take
out cartons, the ones that have a folded top
and metal handle. Decorate the outside with
brightly colored stickers of hearts, flower,
or Christmas themes. Write the recipients
name on the top flaps.
-
Original Wrapping
Paper - At the craft store, buy sponges
that have been cut into shapes of flowers,
sailboats, etc. Dip them in paint and press
them onto plain white wrapping paper or
Kraft colored paper. Your decoration can
fit the gift or the recipients taste.
-
Trimmings -
Instead of using bows on every package, buy
ornaments or small toys when they are on
sale. Use these items that best fit your
recipient's hobby or lifestyle and tie or
glue them onto your package.
-
Name Sacks -
Sew up some red, blue, yellow, and green
velvet squares into sacks. Turn down the
top edge, sew in place to allow a small
opening for a drawstring. Write the
recipients name on the bag with glue and
sprinkle the glue with glitter. Fill the
sacks with candy or small toys. Use more
string to wrap around the package and
through the drawstring to secure the sacks.
