Creative & Unique Gift Wrapping Ideas for Christmas

It’s time again for another fun Pinterest Challenge, hosted by Cindy from County Road 407, and this month we are helping you get ready for the holidays with some creative and unique gift wrapping ideas.

If you’re stopping by from Cindy’s post, I’m totally in love with the vintage touches on her packages, aren’t you?

Step-by-Step Guide for Creating an Easy & Festive Wreath Package

Sometimes, wrapping a pile of presents can be a tedious chore during the holiday season.  However, if you make a few unique packages, the wrapping can become a creative outlet.  Some of these inspiring ideas shared with you today result in packages that are truly works of art.

Supplies:

Step 1:

Wrap your package.

You can use traditional wrapping paper or tissue paper.  But also, don’t be afraid to think outside the box for your wrapped gifts.  

• a brown paper bag, craft paper, or butcher paper makes great wrapping paper; let the kids use ink stamps or draw playful designs on plain paper for a personal touch that is certain to melt the heart of the recipient
• make copies of pictures that capture special memories and glue or decoupage them to plain wrapping paper
• wrap your package in a pretty fabric scrap
• add a touch of elegance by wrapping the gift in vintage sheet music, especially if the recipient is a music-lover!
• if the recipient is a traveler, using old maps is a clever way to create a beautifully wrapped gift

Step 2:

Loop one end of the ribbon through the wreath.

Step 3:

Pull both ends around to the back of the package, fastening one end securely on the back with a piece of tape. Extend the ribbon along the back of the package and up the other end. Loop the second end around the opposite side of the wreath.

Step 4:

Pull the ribbon snuggly around to the back of the package.

Step 5:

Cut the end of the ribbon from the roll, leaving a tail that is long enough to tuck under and tape.

Step 6:

Choose a pretty, decorative name tag with the recipient’s name on the back. Attach it to the middle of the wreath. This step is optional. The package looks pretty without a tag as well.

That’s it! This is so simple to make, yet your package looks stunning and extra special!

More Fun Ways to Jazz Up Your Packages

• attach a candy cane, a Christmas ornament, or other decorative element to the middle of the wreath
• use a bundle of faux flowers instead of a wreath
• print a photo gift tag; use a funny photo to add humor or choose a photo that captures a special occasion
• attaching a handwritten note is the perfect way to let the recipient know how much you care

Pro tip:  Go the extra mile by using double-sided tape to wrap your packages so the tape doesn’t show.

Not only will the recipient of this package be thrilled to receive such a gorgeously wrapped gift, but it will also look like a work of art underneath your Christmas tree while it’s waiting to be opened.
