We hardly ever do as much gift wrapping as we do in December. It can get overwhelming! We want to put our own personal touch on it, of course, but there are so many gifts that ideas have a tendency to run dry; especially when we’re under time pressure. As always, we’re here to help! If you want to wrap your gifts with style and personality, here are some amazing DIY ideas for wrapping your presents!
1. Christmas Tree Toppers
These Christmas tree toppers are just what you need if you wish for something simple and sweet to top your gift packages! You can make each one a little different to add that special personal touch for each person you are about to gift! We know you have no time to waste, so Fellow Fellow has a quick tutorial!
2. Tissue Paper Flower
Wrapping a gift for a truly chic person whose style never falters? Wrap the gift in a big tissue paper flower! It makes the package very noticeable and will make your special person feel extraordinary! And you’re going to have loads of fun making the paper flower! Get the instructions at none other than Hallmark!
3. Paper Straw Snowflake
Putting a snowflake on your wrapped gift always makes for a nice final touch! It’s like a cherry on top for people who love winter and snowy days. Sometimes sticking to classic themes works the best. It also goes great together with twine, so don’t hold back! See how Centsational Girl cracked it!
4. Wreath Tags
Nothing says Christmas like a neat wreath! This idea by Design Sponge is ideal if you want quick and effective wrapping! Your gift packages will all have the same theme, but the name tags on the little wreaths will set them apart! This year’s gift wrapping will give you no stress!
5. Cloth Wraps
If standard gift wrapping paper doesn’t appeal to you, you’re free to seek inspiration with other materials! We recommend you start with a canvas drop cloth – an idea we found at The Idea Room. The end result looks very cozy and joyful, fitting the spirit of the holidays!
