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.

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!

I created these magnetic faux succulent and floral lids using some metal jar tops that I had saved. With a little creativity, they transformed into charming, lightweight accents that add a pop of color and personality to the fridge. Each lid features its own tiny arrangement—part succulent and part floral—all crafted with intention and charm. This project is easy and budget-friendly, allowing you to use items you already have while adding a lovely touch to your home. Quick Video Tutorial Materials Metal jar lids (one large, one small) Letter beads (to spell LOVE ) Faux moss Faux succulents Faux vines Faux flowers (pink, green foliage, white accents) Hot glue gun and glue sticks Magnets I began with the larger metal lid, attaching small letter beads to spell out LOVE . This created a meaningful little focal point and set the tone for the rest of the design. Next, I glued a layer of faux moss along the bottom of the lid. The moss added softness and helped anchor the colorful...
Hi everyone! I hope that you are doing well. I had a few microwavable noodle bowls that I washed out and put away. I took a few days to think about what I could create using these bowls.

💖 Valentine’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to add a bit of extra love to your home. A simple and charming craft that you can complete in under an hour is decorating glass jars. These jars are sweet, customizable, and budget-friendly. Whether you’re making a romantic centerpiece, a cute gift, or simply enhancing the festive vibe in your space, this DIY project is both enjoyable and beautiful. Video tutorial below ❤️ Materials You’ll Need Two small glass jars (any size or shape you love) Acrylic paint or chalk paint Heart fabric garland Heart stickers Hot glue Artificial flowers Mod Podge Paintbrush Paint Your Jars and Seal with Mod Podge Begin by applying a coat of either acrylic or chalk paint to your jars. Chalk paint provides a soft, matte finish, while acrylic paint offers brighter colors; both options look great. I chose acrylic paint and applied several coats, allowing each coat to dry in between. After the first coat has dried, apply a seco...
This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him. I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one. Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my acrylic paints and started...
