Make your holiday presents stand out this year with these creative and unique wrapping ideas.
- Pick a Theme: Choose a cohesive theme, like rustic, vintage or modern, to tie all your gifts together to look pretty.
- Start Simple: A versatile base, like brown craft paper, allows you to add personalized touches and decorations.
- Mix it Up: Select a few different wrapping papers within your theme for a vibrant and eclectic look. Add fun and whimsical elements, including tiny ornaments, bells, candy canes or metallic papers and ribbons.
- Introduce Textures: Use various ribbons, such as twine, lace or fabric scraps, to add depth and interest. Decorate with pine cones, sprigs of holly or dried orange slices for rustic charm.
- Go Interactive: Wrap smaller gifts within larger ones for a fun surprise.
- Personalize: Attach handwritten notes or photos to make each gift extra special.
With these ideas, your wrapping will be as memorable as the gift inside.
