Category: CHRISTMAS 2018

There are so many things going on around the home right now.  Shopping has not been one of them.  I need to get my list together and start marking things off.  Black Friday I did mark a few off my list.  Even though I have their names marked off my list the job isn’t over…now comes the creative part of you, wrapping their gift.

I joined up with 7 friends in ALL WRAPPED UP FOR CHRISTMAS BLOG HOP.  There are a lot of inspirational wrapping ideas here on the hop.  We are hoping to get your creative juices flowing on wrapping your love one’s gifts.  I will list all my sweet friend’s blog links at the end of my post.

My gift wrapping process is the same every year.  I shared with you last year my wrapping set up.  If you missed my blog on Gift Wrapping Tips and Tricks you can go {{HERE}}.  Since I only had a few packages to wrap I just grabbed the wrapping paper, ribbon and name tags I wanted to use.

This year I tried to find wrapping paper and ribbon without glitter.  The gift below was wrapped with paper I found in Ross, name tags I found at TjMaxx and the ribbon was at Wal-mart in a clearance bin.  I stocked up on Christmas picks at Dollar Tree after Christmas.

The gift below was wrapped with Dollar Tree every day wrapping paper.  They have several colors this is more of a watermelon color, but under the tree it sure looks perfect.  I found the ribbon at Old Time Pottery.  I just made a looped bow.  You can check out my tutorial on how I make my bows {{HERE}}.

On this gift I used two different ribbons and another Dollar General Pick.

Now talk about glitter.  I found this wrapping paper at Home Goods.  I just love it but MAN!!! does the glitter get all over.  I am sure the gift receiver will just love me!  I added a plain pink ribbon on top of a silver ribbon, added another Dollar Tree greenery pick.

 

These are just a few of my packages.  I like to take set up an area and just wrap away being creative with each package.  One good piece of advice I can give you is shop after season and stock up on ribbon, embellishments, name tags and wrapping paper.  I like to have different options when wrapping and keeping it budget friendly it’s always best shopping off season.
