10 fun and meaningful holiday wrapping ideas…
Hi everyone!
Let the countdown begin:)!
HI everyone! We have Jen from City Farmhouse here today!
*****
I am so happy to be here today contributing from my blog {City Farmhouse},
sharing 10 Fun & Meaningful Holiday Wrapping Ideas.
Which hopefully is just in the knick of time….
I am a paper & pattern freak, so my eyes are always peeled:).
1. Look for prints & solids that are in the color scheme you love with varied designs, shapes & sizes.
Think outside the box, it doesn’t have to be “holiday” paper.
I love neutrals, grays, tans, creams, silver, etc…
&
found these {above} in Home Goods.
2. Use different textures for “ribbon.”
Again, I like neutrals so I stuck with twine, jute & yarn
{hope that doesn’t make me boring, lol}
Be creative, sometimes it is fun to overlap and wrap it around for a layered look.
3. Use something different for tags, like these flash cards from THIS amazing shop.
4. Hang small ornaments for a fun touch. 
And here if my FAVORITE idea…
5. Use photos for gifts tags. These where made at Pic Monkey & printed on thick cardstock.
This is so fun & a great conversation piece.
The best part, you can use them as ornaments when your done.
6. Pom-Poms! Here is an easy tutorial, you can even involve your kids or grandchildren:).
7. Add Silhouettes, they add such a sweet touch.
I made these a while a while ago from THIS tutorial and updated them at Pic Monkey.
These can also become ornaments.
8. Bells are also a really fun element to add, especially for the little ones
{just be careful if there are any babies around, they are small}.
9. Fresh greenery, I love to add boxwood, cypress, pine and even rosemary.
10. These days you can find birch disks anywhere.
I used my wood burning pen to create a monogram tag.
The last thing, have FUN!
It doesn’t have to be perfect to be loved & appreciated:).
