I wrapped most of my Christmas gifts at the weekend. I love having wrapped gifts by the tree, everything looks so much more Christmassy once that happens.
And to fit in with my slightly more rustic decorating theme this year, I decided to go for a brown paper wrapping look. I love it (and I hope the recipients do too!)
I found all sorts of perfect ribbons to go with everything, as string seemed a step too far *laughs* And you can't really see it above, but all the gifts have the recipient's name stamped onto them in copper or silver ink.
Don't they look cute by the tree? *smiles* Sorry for the overly cropped picture, I'm trying to show them off while hiding the resulting mess!
I LOVE presents in brown paper, I can't wait to get mine!
ReplyDeleteI love brown paper - last year SIL wrapped hers in brown paper with proper luggage tags and christmas baubles/snowmen/stockings etc tied on with Merry Christmas ribbons - I kept the baubles and the ribbons and they are on our tree this year. It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love the brown paper, looks really nice!
ReplyDeletethey look lovely!! my wrapping sucks, so hubby wraps other peoples and i do our children lol x
ReplyDeleteThe packages are beautiful! I love the brown paper.
ReplyDeleteI've seen quite a few knitting bloggers use brown paper to wrap up packages. I opted for regular Christmas wrapping paper since I have no use for brown paper. I do love the look, though! :D
ReplyDeleteBrown paper is by far the most wonderful thing to wrap in, especially with cute ribbons like the one's you used : )
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great! I'm more into COMPLETELY WILD AND OVER THE TOP WRAPPING, but there's something understated about brown paper that's very appealing.
ReplyDeleteThose are such great personalized gifts! I will admit, I have used waste yarn to help wrap gifts on occasion...
ReplyDeleteI do love that idea. Very simple, and the ribbon dresses it up very nicely (though I'd like the string, too!).
ReplyDeleteThey look very cute!
