Gift Wrapping Ideas

Last night I was wrapping up my gift for the Cold Hands, Warm Hearts gift swap by Much Love, Illy and SandyALaMode, and I realized something. I may be “crafty” but I am sort of awful at wrapping presents. I rip the paper when I’m cutting it. I end up with way too much paper, which results in messy folds. Sure, I try to cover up the crumpled edges with pretty strings and fancy things, but I really wish I was capable of  the beautiful packages I’ve seen on Pinterest!

 Two-toned wrapping in my favorite color combo! In love.

 Love this use of  Yarn Pom Poms! And I even have a tutorial for them!

Ok, Martha Stewart is getting a little too advanced for me here. :]

 Cute tissue paper pom poms!

 This is something I would do. Kraft paper, yarn and snowflakes (or doileys!)

 Just GORGEOUS! Love everything about these! (Original source unknown)

Adorable use of a button to add extra cuteness!

Don’t you want to go wrap up some packages all pretty now? I do! Just need to get that Christmas shopping done…I mean, started. xo JA
