Gifts from Santa

Finding a clever way to wrap Santa gifts can be challenging.  Pick your design and make it a tradition each year Santa pays a visit.

 

Chalkboard type Christmas Gift Wrap

 

Painting kraft paper and creating your own doodles and messages can be fun. These would be perfect for gifts from Santa with messages from the jolly old man himself!

Broaches as a bow in gift wrap

 

By far the most elegant gift wrapping idea has to be including broaches on your packages.   You can weave the broach through the ribbon or hot glue it to your package.  It’s sure to add a surprise touch to your holiday wrapping…

Earrings and small pins can also add holiday sparkle and charm to your wrapping.

Green bow

There is help available!   Honestly, the most beautiful bow for my holiday gifts  has to be the Tiffany.  Watch and learn how to tie the perfect Tiffany bow – it will be a lifesaver!
