So before I kick off back {to} domestics' Christmas {tutorial series} I thought I'd give some more Christmas inspiration. So following is some inspiration on Christmas packages because who doesn't love pretty presents?
stamps for each person on white paper- super cute!
get creative with ribbon {or in this case paper}
twine and string are always pretty
she used doilies to make these gift card envelopes- beautiful!
Here are some tips I've found useful when choosing wrapping:
*think 'out of the box' with wrapping- you can use fabric, pretty boutique paper, {check out Paper Source, one of my favorite scrapbook stores} sheet music, whatever!
*twine or string make a lovely substitute for ribbon
*big print always is pretty
*skip on the stick bows and plastic ribbon- instead make your own with pretty paper
*pick a color palate for your tree and follow it through with the gifts
*{if you're really getting into coordinating} I've found a dot {or stripe}, a pattern, a solid, {and sometimes another small pattern} look great together!
*avoid store bought gift tags, instead get creative, for example use big letters: A for Anah
*if you're not a fan of gift tags color code your packages for each person
*embellish your packages with fabric flowers, cranberries, evergreen, pinecones etc.
...
Happy wrapping!!
