5 DIY Ways To Spice Up Your Christmas Wrapping
1) Newspaper –
Yes, I repeat, newspaper!
You can wrap your Christmas gifts with newspaper.
How easy is that?
Your gifts will have a super chic, vintage feel to them.
Plus, you’re recycling! Saving the planet and wrapping your Christmas gift all in one, does it get any better?
Add lots of funky ribbon and glitter and voilà – a new take on Christmas wrapping.
I personally wrapped all of my gifts in newspaper one year, and it was a super fun way to recycle!
2) Brown Paper –
Wrap your gifts in plain brown paper. Leave them minimal and classy with a simple red bow or go all out with sparkles and ribbons.
You can literally be as creative as you want with this idea!
You could paint the brown paper with different Christmas designs or handprints.
Or try bedazzling the gift with sparkles, ribbons and glitter glue. It’s all up to your imagination!
3) Dish Towels –
This is a super cute idea!
Wrap your gift up in a dish or bath towel.
It’s like two gifts in one and adds texture to your wrapping.
You can tie it all together with a beautiful bow or some thick ribbon.
4) Mosaic –
Take all different pieces of wrapping paper and put them to create a mosaic of Christmas designs.
This one is super fun to play with because it’s all up to you!
You have total creative control to cut and paste different wrapping paper designs as you prefer.
5) Collage –
Wrap the gift with plain coloured paper to use as a base.
Search through old magazines and articles to find pictures and sayings that remind you of the recipient.
Then have fun with this mini art project and create a collage on the wrapping paper.
It’ll add a nice personalized touch to your gift giving this season.
I hate wrapping presents so this is a great way to break the monotony of it. I love how cute these ideas are.
I like this idea. Not only it can be creative but can be helpful to save as well. Sometimes it’s nice to change things up a bit than the usual.
I like this idea too because I’ve never been good at wrapping presents. Maybe I will try it this year.
Going to use the brown paper idea. Have everything ready. Thanks for this, it feels so good and so natural using brown paper and spicing it up. I am thinking of getting my dogs to put paw prints over it with paint….fingers crossed!
Great ideas! I think I am going to try one (or a mix of two) this year!
I love the idea of wrapping the gift in a dish towel tied up with a bright colored bow.
Great ideas! This is so fun, especially when the kids are helping with the wrapping – we can get pretty creative 🙂
I haven’t started my Christmas decorations yet. My kids have been asking me to get them done. Maybe on Friday.
