12 for Christmas ~ Creative Wrapping Ideas

My last 12 for Christmas post is a collection of pretty (and fun) gift wrapping ideas.
Hope you are inspired!

1) Trader Joe's Holiday Bags 

Reused as Gift Wrap

as seen on Happy Serendipity
Love, love, love!

2) Newspaper, Baker's Twine

 & Monogram Tags

from Allorah Handmade

Love, love, love.  The sequel.

3) Yarn and Poms!

from Very Rosenberry

And of course I adore these merry merry poms!  I might need to do this one ; )

4) Burlap & Bells

from Town and Country Living

Simple and classic.

5) Tea Towel Gift Wrap

from Two Green Chickens

Are you into vintage?  Old Christmas tea towels make lovely gift wrap!  Or new ones, too!

6) Fabric Wrap Bags

from Raising Lemons

Reuse them again and again - this idea is lookin' good to me.

7) Washi-Decorated Paper

from A Spoonful of Sugar

Can't go wrong with washi!  

8) Reindeer Pillow Box Gift Card Holder

from That's What Che Said

This little pillow box made me smile, so I'm sharing it : )

9) Faux Bois w/ Contact Paper

from Bugs and Fishes

Love this!  And any layering of bands of paper!

10) Supersized Christmas Crackers!

from Martha Stewart

This made me giggle ~ use a $5 cement form tube to wrap an 

oddly-shaped gift into a huge holiday cracker!

11) Paper Doileys on Top 

of Patterned Wrapping Paper

as seen on It's Written on the Wall

I've seen doileys over craft paper and newspaper, but this was the first I saw it on 

patterned wrapping paper.  I love it!  The toppers are super cute, too!

12) Chalkboard Style

w/ black paper and chalkboard markers

from Going Home to Roost

You know chalkboard style is all the rage, and you can do it super easy this way!

That's 12 folks.  But think of all the many beautiful, fun, merry, creative ways you could TOP your gifts with tags, bows, clips, greenery, layers of fabric or paper or ribbons....wrap away my friends.

It's on my to-do list tonight!

And I need to involve yarn ; )
