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!

DIY Burlap Bow and Tissue Paper Wrapping

Making your own bow and using tissue paper for wrapping Christmas presents is a wonderful way to economically customize your Holiday wrapping!
I purchased this tissue paper from target (3$) and the wire burlap ribbon from Walmart ( 3$) I can easily get three to four small to medium size gifts wrapped for a 6$ dollar purchase.

How To Make A Simple Bow

This simple tutorial and short of list of supplies will have you making a finished bow in about 10 minutes!
*I generally work from a spool of ribbon so I don't need to cut the ribbon in long pieces and run the chance of possibly not having enough.*

Supplies:

  • Spool of wire edged ribbon
  • Pipe Cleaner
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun/glue

Directions:

*I generally work from a spool of ribbon so I don't need to cut the ribbon in long pieces and run the chance of possibly not having enough.*

  • Working from a spool of ribbon make a loop like a bunny ear.
  • Bring the ribbon around and make another loop on the other side, pinching in the middle.
  • Continue making loops and pinching in the middle, alternating sides until the bow is the fullness that you like. I did 8 loops for this bow.
  • Hold the loops of the bow and and wrap florist wire or a pipe cleaner in the center to secure the bow.

  3. Oh, 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. : )
