Christmas wrapping ideas

Christmas is almost upon us again, so I thought I’d share an idea for wrapping presents. It looks great, is really easy, and best of all it’s cheap! Just cut out names from coloured card, newspaper, old books, film etc and glue onto plain kraft paper. Another (quicker) alternative is to use some stamps for the names. Here are some examples that I’ve done in the past.

ManMade DIY has full instructions on how to do the cut-outs. Here’s one they did out of a book!

Finally feels like Christmas!

Well, it finally feels like Christmas! I’ve put the tree up, finished my Christmas shopping last night, and today I wrapped all the presents. We had Christmas a bit early in our house, because Vincent left for India tonight. I decided to go with the one theme for wrapping all the presents. Little did I know it would be so hard to find brown kraft paper (a few weeks ago it was in plentiful supply!)
