Gift Wrapping Fun

I love to get creative with gift-wrapping 

no matter what the occasion. 

This holiday market season, I stuck with neutral colors for my market displays 

and chose some papers that reflected this palette. 

I mixed some of my products and some natural and recycled materials as well.

 

 This striped paper and patterned paper are both from HomeSense and cost $4.99 per roll. 

Some natural twine, some eucalyptus 

and a stamped silver spoon 

add some nice texture and shine to the box.

 

 

 This 'Je T'aime' spoon is tied to the gift with 

a scrap of leather. 

Look around your home to find some 

different materials to recycle; 

maybe some denim, velvet or wool.

 

 These two gifts are adorned with vintage chandelier crystals of different shapes. So pretty!

The sparkles and tiny letters in the above photo; and the sheet music paper and 

LOVE letters are from Brick & Mortar Living 

in New Westminster.

 Want in on a secret? 

This kraft paper is actually from a large roll of 

Builder's Paper made from 100% recycled paper 

available at Home Depot. 

A 36" roll of 167 feet is $18.47 and is sure to last a long time! My kids love to make large murals with this paper 

and I like to use it for gift-wrapping 

or to protect the table when painting. 

We are on our third year of using the same roll.

The paper is adorned with an one of our vintage hand-crocheted ornaments. These were made from a vintage blanket and are adorned with Swarovski crystals.

Hope this inspired you to get creative, save some money and add some interesting materials to your gift-wrapping.
