DIY: Great Gift Wrapping!

I absolutely love giving presents, but I always dread having to wrap them. I am trying to psych myself up before I grab a glass of wine and spend an evening in wrapping presents. I found these great DIY gift wrapping ideas, and I couldn't to share with my readers. I hope they offer some inspiration for all my fellow present wrapping procrastinators!

I love the presents wrapped with sequins (top left)! You can find rolls of sequins (usually elastic) at any kraft store. Wrap a few times around a simple kraft paper wrapped box and there you go!

Don't have any cute gift tags? Run to a local paint store and pick up some color samples. Punch a hole in the corner, tie on with some ribbon or twine & write your message with a paint marker. Use a metallic paint marker to be super festive!.

Merry Christmas!
