I’m generally not a big fan of traditional paper, but

I do like simple, rustic options. Most of our gifts will be wearing scuffed brown paper with either raffia or a bit of ribbon with hand made gift tags.

This hard candy card stock was in my stash and cut into tags and monograms for just a tiny splash of color.

When my DIY Pillow Covers sparked the idea of having brown paper packages tied up with string, I had expected to purchase the paper. When our online purchases began to arrive, several used this brown craft paper for packing. It was perfect for my theme AND it was free! Merry Christmas to me! So, far nothing has been purchased for gift wrap. I’ve been able to use packing paper with bits and bobs from my craft and sewing stash.
How are you wrapping gifts this year?
