It's Pinspired Friday! {Creative Gift Wrapping}

Good morning all! Can you believe it's already Friday? It's time for:

Today, I wanted to share some of my favorite ways to wrap Christmas presents! I am traveling this week so I have not been able to make anything of my own except for memories. :)

Since last Christmas, I have collected different ways to wrap presents on my personal Pinterest. For me, I have always enjoyed wrapping presents but B.F. (before Pinterest... ha!) I had never put much more thought into it than paper, bow, name sticker.

Some of my new favorite ways include flowers instead of bows, especially "poppies"!

From Stamping and Stitching: "A Gift on a Gift"

I love this one because it really could be two gifts in one - you could make a poppy pin and attach it to the raffia just by looping it through. I LOVE kraft paper too... so incredibly versatile. I think I need to get a snowflake stamp! :)

From CreatureComfortsBlog: 5 Minute DIY Fabric Poppy

 Another poppy/kraft paper favorite... and with directions! I have made a flower using a similar process and it is so incredibly easy. I would probably use black seed beads to create the middles. I love that bakers twine too.

From One Charming Party: How to Wrap a Present

This one is for a birthday, but wouldn't it be awesome in Christmas paper and with coordinating color paper? And how easy is this! Expect to see something similar, friends and family. ;)

From Make it Do: Felt Poinsetta

Very similar to the gift on gift link above, you could make a beautiful pin or hair pin out of the flower! Two gifts in one are awesome.

From CreatureComfortsBlog.com: D.I.Y. Eco-Happy Pom Pom

This one is a neat idea! The pom pom is actually a plastic bag. Who doesn't have a million of those lying around? It's a great way to recycle.

Thanks for reading! I'll be back next week with a post on foaming soap for pennies, crafts and more recipes! :)
