Welcome to DECK THE HALLS FRIDAY! This week I am inspired by BROWN PAPER PACKAGES TIED UP WITH STRING! I LOVE wrapping presents, no gift bags for me. But ever since the kids were born wrapping gifts has become a chore that I rush at the last moment or delegate to someone else. I realized that I already have a few gifts on hand and this week I am going to get them wrapped. The inspiration came when my son found one of his gifts in our room earlier this week. To make sure I don't forget what is in each package I will number the bottom and record it on my trusty calendar.
My favorite wrapping is brown paper. There are so many beautiful papers each year and I may pick up a roll or two but for the last few years brown craft paper has been my paper of choice. It kills me to see my 9.99 a roll paper torn into pieces and crumpled up on the floor... Not only is it inexpensive but it is beautiful and can be both elegant and a little bit country.

This is our tree last Christmas morning.
I found a ton of brown paper printed with trees for 80cents a roll!

This week I WILL WRAP THE GIFTS I HAVE ON HAND! Last weeks goal was to start making ornaments. I didn't get alot done but I did work on a few here and there.
They still need some glitter but I am happy with my progress.

YES!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the brown paper packages! I started wrapping with that a few years ago when my Christmas tree became my "Adirondack Tree".
I like to combine the brown packages with normal wrapping paper for variety.
