2 Easy Gift Wrapping Ideas

In the past I was always the person running to the nearest store to quickly grab a gift bag and tissue paper to put gifts in moments before giving the gift to the recipient. Recently, however, I have really grown to appreciate pretty wrapped gifts. There is no doubt that receiving a gift that someone has taken a few minutes to wrap makes the present feel extra special no matter what is actually inside the wrapping.

For the pom pom wrapped gift all I did was wrap the present in craft paper and used the yarn to make a hot pink pom pom to top the gift. The method I used to make the pom pom is the same I used here.

To make the mini tassel all you need is washi tape, scissors, and baker's twine. Cut about 20 strips of washi tape that are 6 inches long and fold each strips in half lengthwise so that the sticky sides of the tape are together. Gather up your strips so they are all going the same direction and tie a small piece of string around the middle of the bundle. Gather up your strips so they are all going the same direction and tie a small piece of string around the middle of the bundle. Fold the bundle at the string and wrap one more small strip of washi tape around the top of the bundle to hold it in its folded position. Use the excess string from when you tied the bundle to attach it to the string on your gift.

DIY Pom Pom Wrapping Paper

We celebrated our sister Tiffany's birthday over the weekend. We had a cook out for her and baked her a Chocolate Fudge Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting and Chocolate Ganache. We wanted to wrap her presents in a unique way and instantly thought of pom pom wrapping paper. We had seen it online before and wanted to create it for her presents. It was so easy and fun to do. Tiffany loved it and so did we. Next time, I would like to use smaller pom poms.



Supplies
Brown Packaging Paper
Glue Dots
Pom Poms
Other Supplies needed to wrap present: scissors, tape, bow, gift

1. Wrap your gift with the brown packaging paper.
2. If you are going to apply a bow, do so now, so that you will know what area is left to apply pom poms too.
3. Apply glue dots where you want to put pom poms, then press the pom pom onto the glue dot.
4. Apply to all sides of the gift except the bottom.

I love beautifully wrapped gifts almost as much as the gifts inside. Unfortunately, I am horrible at actually wrapping the gifts but I love decorating the packages. When someone takes extra time to beautifully wrap a gift it means they put a little extra care, time, and love into the gift.

One of my favorite things about the Christmas holiday is wrapping presents. I love to buy cute presents for others, even if the gift is just a few dollars so that I can wrap it up. Looking at beautifully wrapped gifts can brighten anyones mood. Gorgeously wrapped and ribboned gifts under festive Christmas trees look so cheery and fun.
I am not a very good wrapper myself, I always have to get my mom to help with the actual wrapping. What about you? Are you genius when it comes wrapping your gifts?
