Overview of Supplies
Wrapping Finesse meets DIY
Well, I have to admit that I am a sort of rush through it wrapping type of gal, you might even be able to relate to that mindset.
I am pretty certain my packages have never been the gifts with high quality wrapping paper and perfectly folded corners.
Oh, I always admire those personalities who churn out gorgeous and professional look packaging and even more so during the Holidays.
Seems I just tend to get so excited and thrilled over shopping for the gifts that I leave the wrapping to the last minute.
So this year what I lack in wrapping finesse is made up in DIY creativity.
Added bonus affordability!

Jemma, all of your gift wrapping ideas are so cute and adorable! Anyone would love getting a present wrapped like anyone of these! I especially love the yarn Christmas gift topper! It is quite unique!
ReplyDeleteLove these ideas Jemma! So much inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh, these are all great ideas, Jemma. I like the Christmas tree, and the candy cane is so cute also. Using yarn is always a pretty way to decorate presents. I think the girls would like that chalkboard design idea. They are always creating holiday photos on their chalkboards. The snowflake cookie cutter is a cute idea, especially for the bakers in the family. My dear mother passed down her tradition to me for wrapping presents. She used to put a big BLACK initial on her children's presents, and when I woke up Christmas morning, I was so excited to see the presents with a big S. I still continue to do this tradition, but maybe I'll add some extra bows and yarn as you have shown so creatively here. Thank you for all your inspirational posts, dear Jemma. It's such a wonderful time of year. : )
