“Brown paper packages tied up with string. These are a few of my favorite things…” I love that song!
Anyways, here are some ideas for turning plain brown paper packages into pretty gift wrap.
- Tie pretty string or ribbon around it.
- Use stamps to decorate. You could simply stamp the person’s name, decorate with stamps all over or in a straight pattern. There are many creative possibilities.
- Make a snowflake using white or colored paper and place on top of brown paper gift wrap.
- Use decorative paper and wrap around package like a ribbon.
- Dress it up with doilies.
- Top with a bow such as a homemade newspaper rose gift bow.
- They say a picture’s worth a thousand words. Top your brown paper packages with a photocopy of a favorite picture.
