A Few Ideas...




The countdown is on! Only a few more days until Christmas! Are you as excited as I? Just in case you're in gift wrapping mode, and perhaps are in need of some fresh inspiration, here are a few ideas for you...

* A few cuts with an x-acto knife and with the addition of some sweet ribbon, you have a customized gift box! Use a black or a funky color cord to create a masculine looking version.
* While you're enjoying some Christmas movies, fold some simple, thick white wrapping paper into folds for a feminine and fancy, pleated look.
* Re-purpose little ornament bags or gather soft pieces of tulle for a delicate envelope for cookies, earrings, or even a gift card. They dress up a gift in such a simple way. Tie with a little glam ribbon.

Don't you just love that quote? I couldn't agree more...Sometimes I find that the more pressure I feel, the more inspired I get to get creative with my gift wrapping. Do you have any fun gift wrapping ideas that you have tried this year?
