I absolutely loved my simple, low cost gift wrapping this holiday season!
I bought tubes of brown kraft paper and raffia at the Dollar Tree.
This particular gift {below} is a cookbook I bought for a friend and a washcloth I crocheted.
I love the brown paper because the kids can decorate it or I can write a note to the recipient.
For the kids' gifts {below} - I used brown kraft paper, yarn and black and white photos as name tags.
They each got 4 gifts {want, need, wear, read}. They were so thrilled to come down the stairs on Christmas morning and recognize their gifts right away!! I gave the extra photos to grandparents with their Happy New Year card and letter.
We delivered a few packages of cookies to the neighbors. I used brown lunch bags and raffia to bundle them up. One of my favorite things to do is use up old Christmas cards to make gift tags. I cut off words or images that I like {with my fancy scissors}, hole punch and attach with raffia. Super simple, cute and recycling!
I made wool scarves using a knot pattern for friends, family and teachers. I used high quality, clear bags for the packaging and yarn and recycled Christmas cards for the gift tags. They were darling!
My heart smiles looking back at these pictures!! :)
What are some of your simple gift wrapping ideas?
