3 Fun Ways to Gift Wrap
I love wrapping gifts almost as much as I love giving them. Whether you want to thank your child’s teachers, show your friends how much you appreciate them or simply want to show up to a dinner party with a hostess gift, a beautifully wrapped gift is always a thoughtful gesture. Here are 3 ways I wrapped gifts this year.
1. For Max’s Teachers
I picked out an assortment of specialty cookies and chocolates. I packaged them in a simple gift bag and topped it off with a festive pom-pom. To make the pom-pom:
-
Wrap yarn around cardboard about 40×. Take the yarn off the cardboard and tie it tightly in the middle.
-
Cut the loops and fluff the yarn. Use scissors to trim the yarn to make it circular.
2. For Max’s 1st Hanukkah
I know Max is too young to remember his first Hanukkah, but I still wanted to find fun ways to wrap his gifts. I used colorful felt paper, tissue paper, pipe cleaners and feathers to create different monsters.
3. For Co-workers
I was inspired by Studio DIY’s Emoji gift wrap post and picked out a few of my favorite emojis. I started with yellow craft paper then cut out eyes and mouths with black and white construction paper.
