Inspiring Gift Wrap - Week 2

More unique ideas for packing up your holiday gifts this season.

Some brown wrap, old magazines, string, and buttons create this fun wrapping.



Music makes pretty paper.



Solid color paper and hand cut letter tags.



Last week Reshema from masalamangomantra.blogspot.com shared in the comments that she creates origami boxes for her gifts. What a great idea. Here is a link to the instructions for creating your own origami boxes. This a great way to recycle some paper.

What kind of packaging are you going to do on your holiday packages this year?

  9. Taylor Lynn, We are going to try several of these ideas this year. Most years we do one idea and wrap everything the same, but this year I think I am going to do the maps, box wraps, creating paper with stamps.

  12. This is so creative! I recently wrote a post about similar cool wrapping ideas. For example the Japanese fabric wrapping technique Furoshiki, or using maps and wallpaper scraps - http://greenlivingideas.com/2011/12/05/green-holiday-gift-wrapping-ideas/
