With the rush of all that last minute gift shopping (who else is waiting in long lines practically everywhere?), I thought I'd share some easy gift wrapping combos - paper, ribbon, tags and embellishments - from our usual spots. Target, World Market, The Container Store, JoAnn, Walmart & 1-2 choice finds on Etsy. Maybe it'll inspire you into getting creative with your wrapping this weekend! :)
I recently discovered the double wrapping paper technique (via the fabulous Elements of Style), and I love it. You basically use a combo of two papers and run a strip down the center, placing one above the other. The layering looks suuuuper cute! I've included a few examples below.
1. pine grove wrapping / striped navy ribbon / snowflake tags
2. barcelona tile paper / red ribbon / prancing reindeer,
3. gold tree paper / green paper / black ribbon / gold glam tassels / tag
4. nutcracker paper / striped ribbon / sprig tie on / tag
5. butterfly paper / brown paper / greek key ribbon / gold swirl pom
6. leopard print paper / plaid ribbon / naughty & nice gift tag / black bow
7. plaid paper / thick glitter ribbon / gold bordered labels
8. blue striped paper / solid red paper / white satin bow
9. peacock paper / dotted gold ribbon / gold curly bow
10. antler paper / christmas tree paper / metallic gold ribbon / vintage deer tag
Even the simplest of gifts, wrapped beautifully, makes an impact.
And how fun would it be to carry a bevy of beautifully wrapped presents (that look like they belong together!) to your holiday party?
