Today I’m sharing some of my favorite tips for cute and fun gift wrapping! After reading this post, be sure to follow along over on Instagram for even more holiday inspo. + ideas!
Have you guys started wrapping presents yet? I’ve been trying to wrap as I go otherwise, it’s very overwhelming and time consuming usually at a point in the season where I don’t have any time until after the girls go to bed 🙂 This year I went with a wrapping color scheme – reds, pinks, whites, creams, silvers, and golds. I’ve found a color scheme helps keeps things cohesive and the presents look oh-so-pretty wrapped up under the tree! 🙂
Cute + Fun Gift Wrapping Tips
- + Pick a color scheme – 3-4 colors
- + Be sure within your color scheme you have at least one neutral (white/cream/tan/black/etc.)
- + When you see cute wrapping paper, pick it up! It will keep year to year and bring you joy.
- + I like to use around 5-6 different wrapping papers.
- + Mix + match solids & patterns. I like to have a solid, a stripe, small patterns, and a whimsical pattern.
- + Instead of traditional bows, try using textured yarn and string! The chunky yarn from Hobby Lobby is perfect!!!
- + Velvet ribbon can add a simple, pretty, feminine touch to any package.
- + Add in pops of sparkle or metallics via ribbon, tinsel, or small details on the wrapping paper.
- + Get creative with your nametags – using stickers or painted nametags you can use year after year
- + Top your gifts with small ornaments, disco balls, pom poms, bells, fresh greenery, or tiny bottle brush trees!
So lovely 🙂 thanks for your sharing…
