Get creative this holiday season with these easy Christmas gift-wrapping ideas. From simple and elegant to fun and festive, find inspiration for wrapping your gifts in style.
I’m going to share some quick gift-wrapping decorating ideas with all of you. I grabbed a few empty boxes and my red and brown gift paper. Although I’m not a professional when it comes to wrapping paper, I thought I would share some decoration ideas with all of you. I had all of my materials on hand, but a lot of these are fairly cheap when purchased at a craft store. Let’s decorate!
Check out the video tutorial
Materials
Wrapping paper
Mini garland
Acrylic paint
Paintbrush
Decorative gems
Twine or craft rope
Decorative tape
Tape
Hot glue
Scissors
Wooden Christmas mini decorations (such as a mini wood wreath and an ornament)
Gift wrap decoration number one
For the first design, I am using brown wrapping paper, tape, red paint, green paint, white paint, two wooden Christmas decorations, hot glue, and twine to create this design.
To start, cut your wrapping paper to the appropriate size and wrap your box with it.
First, use your paintbrush to apply the paint to your wooden Christmas decorations. Then, take your twine and wrap it around your gift. Tie it off. Use just a little hot glue and glue your mini wooden wreath over your twine.
Next, string an extra piece of twine through the hole of your wooden ornament. Pull your twine through, tie it off, and create a bow. I decided to use my wooden ornament as a gift tag.
This design is complete.
Gift wrap idea number two
You will need wrapping paper, craft gems, and decorative tape.
Start by wrapping your gift. I chose to use red wrapping paper.
Next, take your decorative tape take a section, and apply it across the middle of your paper.
After you have applied your tape, take your craft gems and begin to apply them onto your paper. I used just a little hot glue when adding my gems onto my paper.
That is it! This one is a very simple design and so easy to create.
Gift wrap idea number three
You will need one wooden Christmas decoration, ribbon, twine, and one mini ornament.
Begin by adding your wrapping paper to your gift. Next, wrap a section of your ribbon around your paper. Cut off any remaining ribbon and use hot glue to secure the ribbon together.
After that, take a small section of your twine and wrap it around your paper. Before tying it off, add your mini ornament to your twine. Then, take your wooden decoration and pull it through your twine. Finally, tie it off.
Your gift wrap is complete.
Gift wrap idea number four
You will need decorative tape, acrylic paint, hot glue, tape, and a mini wreath to create this design.
Begin by cutting your wrapping to size, and wrapping your box.
After, take two small sections of your decorative tape, and apply them to the top, and bottom of your wrapping paper.
To add your mini wreath to the middle section of your box, use your hot glue.
Finally, use your paintbrush to apply your white acrylic paint. You can add a few dots around your mini wreath to give it a more festive look.
I hope that you have enjoyed these simple gift-wrapping decoration ideas. I also tested out opening each gift without damaging the decorations. I opened and removed the top area that I taped down, and the gifts were easily removed.
All those extra little touches are so sweet. They've turned out so beautifully. Thank you for sharing this post at the Will Blog for Comments #15 linkup. Hope to see you there next week, too!

Paula, thank you! Don't worry, I'm definitely not a professional at wrapping gifts either. Adding these to your gift is just a fun way to personalize it and make it a little more special.
These are so lovely and fun, Steph! I think the last one is my favorite, but I'm a sucker for greenery around Christmastime. I had never thought of using washi tape on gifts, either--I love that. Thank you for sharing this post with us all at the Will Blog for Comments #52 this month. We'll be back at the bi-weekly schedule for linkup #53 which opens Monday morning January 6, and we hope to see more of your posts shared there. Happy New Year!

Today I’m sharing a soft and delicate spring wreath that comes together beautifully with just a few simple supplies. I’m using a beaded wood wreath as my base, along with faux yellow roses, pink artificial wildflowers, and a bit of foliage to bring everything to life. This project is perfect if you’re looking to add a gentle pop of color and a touch of spring charm to your home. Video tutorial Supplies You’ll Need Beaded wood wreath Faux yellow roses Pink artificial wildflowers Faux foliage Floral/wire cutters Craft wire Trim Your Florals I started by using my floral cutters to trim the stems of each flower. Make sure the stems are short enough to fit nicely against the wreath, but long enough to secure them with wire. Adjust the length to suit your design and the level of fullness you want in your wreath. I began by cutting my yellow roses first. Prepare Your Craft Wire and Attach the Roses After I trimmed the roses, I cut small sections of craft wire. These will be u...
Hi everyone. I hope that you are all doing well. I am patiently waiting for Fall to arrive. Fall is my favorite season of them all. I love the golden leaves, hot apple cider by the fire pit, sitting out in the evenings roasting marshmallows. It is simply the best for me. Do you have a favorite season? What do you enjoy about it? Today I am sharing a quick upcycle craft. I decided to use my glass Oui yogurt jars. I love these little jars and what a perfect way to reuse them. I will show you how to decorate these jars using mod podge, and acrylic paint. We will add faux flowers to each glass jar as well. Video tutorial Materials Three small glass jars I'm reusing my Oui glass yogurt jars Twine Acrylic paint Paintbrushes Mod podge Decorative napkin Faux floral and foliage Decorative tape/Washi tape Scissors Applying paint to glass yogurt jars Begin by applying your paint to two of your glass jars. Each jar needed around three coats of paint. I used acrylic chalk pai...
Are you looking to add some charm to your living space on a budget? Try making your own DIY Faux Blossom Branch Tree. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating your blossom branch tree. The best part is that this project requires just a few simple materials, and you can even repurpose a section of a tree branch. Alternatively, you can use a smaller section of a tree branch or one similar to the one I am using. So, if you're ready to start, come along and create your blossom branch tree with me. DIY Faux Blossom Branch Tree video tutorial Materials Section of branches from a tree in my yard faux florals and leaves hot glue A planter pot Floral cutters A foam floral block, and optional rocks After inserting your tree branch into the foam block, you can add rocks on top. This will provide additional weight to your pot and prevent the tree branch from shifting or moving around. Cutting the flowers and leaves To create a beautiful blossom tree, foll...
Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company. I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table: -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights - Reusing glass jars - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations - Small "Hello Fall" sign - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table. Around Halloween, I purchased this tablecloth a few years ago at my local Walmart. After laying it out, I realized that I could achieve th...
Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well. Do any of you have any plastic containers at home? I recently finished a product and after cleaning the container, I wondered what I could reuse it for. I decided to make a tissue holder. It's a simple project and a great way to reuse a plastic container with a lid. I'll guide you through each step and provide some suggestions. If you're ready, let's make your personalized tissue holder. Video tutorial Materials: - Plastic container - Decorative paper or paper bag - Acrylic paint - Scissors - Hot glue - Paintbrush - Craft knife (You may also need sandpaper and floral cutters or other snips) Begin by applying several coats of acrylic paint with a paintbrush, allowing each coat to dry. Next, use scissors to cut out the decorative sections you want for your container. I'm using a decorative paper bag I bought in a pack at my local Dollar Tree. After cutting out each decorative section, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge w...
