Are you creative when wrapping gifts? I always use raffia and was thrilled when I found some red raffia at Big W recently. Here are wrapping ideas that may inspire you to spruce up your gifts.

this yr I’m putting photos of the person whose receiving the gift on the wrapping, so my 2yr old can give them out. I didn’t realise that it makes my tree look that extra pit special as well
These are just beautiful. We had to share them with our fans – you find the most stunning photos. I’m all inspired to wrap my pressies beautifully this year – thank you.

I started doing something similar 2 years ago. I bought a ream of large white tissue paper sheets from a florists wholesaler. My 7yr old daughter draws or sometimes we cut shapes in veges or fruit and print designs onto the paper. This year she came up with the idea to place shells and leaves under the paper and rub her pastels over them. The end result is quite lovely 🙂
I LOVE that you have posted how to do that fluffy bow thing – THANK YOU 🙂
… and speaking of gift wrapping, here’s an idea for, well, anyone reading this actually lol… With all my Christmas Ornaments, which I ADORE and therefore are either sentimental or expensive or just plain gorgeous… but I digress… each ornament is individually wrapped in tissue paper and placed in gift boxes (each box fits 10-20 ornaments depending on their size). You can buy good sturdy Christmas gift boxes at the after season sales, so when your decorations are on the tree, the pretty gift boxes can sit, empty, under the tree. Saves on lugging them back to their original storage space AND makes under the tree look pretty too 🙂

Those presents look great. Unfortunately I am not never good at the Lind of stuff so I never try. I’ll be trying this year. We will see how it goes.
We use brown recycled paper which my 8 year old draws on for the person receiving the gift! Ribbons bows and other stuff usually makes up the picture!
