Crafty Christmas Gift Wrap.

When it comes to Christmas – or any holiday, really – I try to deviate from the norm when it comes to gift wrapping. Don’t get me wrong, I have just as many rolls of gift wrap and pre-made bows and gift bags as anyone else, but sometimes it’s fun to be different. And it makes the gift feel a little more personal.
Take this little gift for my son’s Godmother. I put it in to this fun, red Casablanca bag, topped it with a tag that I made from a large white gift tag, a pre-made diecut, I busted out my old-school Dymo labeler for the name sticker, and then tied it off with some Gold Metallic Divine Twine.
I did pretty much the same thing with this gift for my cousin. Only I used a Gold Metallic Bigger Bitty Bag.
I love these little gold clips. I found them on back-to-school clearance literally years ago and I’ve been hoarding them ever since. Finally put them to good use today 🙂
Here’s a gift for my aunt with the same pieces and techniques.
My husband has 4 aunts that live in Wisconsin. They all get the same gift (but in different styles and colors).
I kept it simple stamping Aunt on a large white tag and putting a cardboard glitter sticker with their initial on it. It’s clean, but sort of elegant too with all that gold and the bit of glitter.
When you order a cosmetic from Macy’s, they send you a little goody bag with free samples in it. I’ve held on to the bags, and repurposed them for a couple of teen girls’ Christmas gifts making a simple tag and tying off with some fun Divine Twine to go with the colored tissue on the inside.
I hope you have a beautiful, memorable, and delicious day!
