Just in time for Christmas, Iβm so excited to share my 6 easy DIY Christmas Gift Wrapping Ideas. All using items you have on hand at home, or that can be easily picked up. My secret is to use inexpensive brown craft paper, and decorate each gift using spices, herbs, candies, ribbon, and so much more. Have fun with your gift wrapping this year, with these easy ideas! ππ
πStep One: Gather Up your Supplies.
I love using brown craft paper, which is so much cheaper than wrapping paper. It makes for the perfect blank canvas to create a fun gift. Youβll also want to have some good scissors and Scotch tape. A little Elmerβs glue is always helpful too!
Once youβve got your craft paper, round up some fun holiday items. My favoritesβ¦
1. festive ribbon
2. candy canes
3. icing and glitter
4. holiday stamps
5. white reindeer ornament, kola baby ornament, dashing dog ornament
6. gingerbread cookies
7. herbs and dry spices (like cinnamon and star anise)
8. sleigh bells β these are so cute!
9. mini Christmas trees or any of these
πStep Two: Gift Wrap!
Find yourself a cozy spot, make some hot cocoa, put on your favorite Christmas movie or music, and get into the gift wrapping zone.
Some Ideasβ¦
β¨1. Candy Canes and Ribbon
Candy canes always have a way of making everything that much more fun. This look is so easy to create and all you need is candy canes and a simple ribbon. I used a pretty white and green ribbon, but even twine would be beautiful. Both will give the box a more elegant feel.
β¨2. Herbs and Spices
The simplest of things are always my favorite. I used some ribbon, cinnamon sticks, and star anise to create a rustic look thatβs probably my most loved here. Itβs simple, cheap, festive, and the perfect way to go for a rustic Christmas in the snow vibe.
β¨3. Homemade Icing and Glitter
This idea came about last year on Christmas Eve. I was doing last-minute wrapping with Asher and she really wanted to make her gift look extra cute for mom. I had leftover icing, so I thought, why not draw some holiday designs on our boxes with a little icing and then sprinkle with glitter. Not only was this so fun to do (especially great for kids), but it turned out cuter than I could have imagined. Just be sure to let the icing dry overnight so that it doesnβt smudge!
β¨4. Mini Christmas Trees, Ornaments, and Ribbon
Iβve become obsessed with my mini brush Christmas trees. Something about them is so fun and whimsical. I tied mine onto my gifts using ribbon and twine
β¨5. Dainty Pink Ribbon and Herbs
This is my Eloise inspired gift. Itβs girly, magical, and so easy to create. Just find something like this frayed velvet pink ribbon, a dusty pink ornament or snowflake, and fresh rosemary.
And done. Some of these ideas will take you longer than others. Some will cost more or less. But all in all, these are pretty simple and easy ways to make your gifts look magical this Christmas. Hope this post inspires you to have some fun with your gift wrapping this year! π
β¨6. Gingerbread Gift Tags
I made homemade gingerbread cutouts and a little homemade icing to create fun gift tags for my gifts. I love how cute this personalized tag turnedβ¦and your gifts smell amazing too.
β¨7. Festive Stamps
When I saw these sleigh mail reindeer stamps on Anthropologie I bought them immediately. Theyβre adorable, and I love their handmade look. So much more fun than an ordinary gift tag.
