{ Beautiful, Simple Gift Wrapping }

I love wrapping presents for Christmas! This year I opted for brown craft paper. I lucked out last year and found a large roll at the dollar store, steal!! After Christmas sales are the best, and last year at Target I found some really cute felt Christmas tree ornaments 70% off per 4-pack. So this year I used them with some of the left-over yarn I had from the letters for my mantle!


This wrapping style is simple, yet beautiful! Your possibilities are truly endless with craft paper.. You can easily personalize it for each person, add your favorite touches {bows, dollies, ribbon, stamps}, have the kids draw pictures for family, and so much more! I had fun using the yarn because it was simple to just cut a long length off and just wrap it around the present and tie!

In the pictures below, you can see how the felt ornament had the gold tie, I just cut it off and thread the yarn through to dress the packages up!

    I love wrapping with kraft paper, it's the embellishments that really make it. Love what you did with it, those trees are adorable!

    Very cool - and you can do so many things! When I was growing up, we even used the Sunday funnies to wrap gifts. Those were much more fun than traditional paper!
    Thanks for linking up!
