Easy Gift Wrapping Ideas — Revive & Design

Well hopefully the last of your Amazon orders are showing up on the porch this week, and if not you better get to shopping because the countdown is on! Only 4 more sleeps till Christmas!!! :) I wanted to show you guys some simple ways to dress those packages up under the tree this year.

Choosing wrapping paper that coordinate!

Before I go shopping for wrapping paper I like to get an idea of the color scheme of the room the gifts will be in. I mean these packages will serve as decor for a couple weeks so why not make them pretty right? I always like to pick up a roll of craft paper because it's neutral and easy to dress up with ribbon and floral sprigs. Since we went with a "Rustic Glam" theme in our living room this year I chose some sparkly papers and some more traditional ones like this sheet music paper. They all coordinate well together which is the key to a cohesive look for under your tree.

Next I like to pick up a few different ribbon and string options. I always have this jute twine handy because it's great to use year round. I found this white and gold yarn at Homegoods this year, I loved that it was simple but the gold added a little bling to the packages. I'm always looking for these packs of ribbon like the one in the above picture. I find this particular one at Michaels ever year! They're all neutral and look great on the craft paper.

Now for the cherry on top! I love to buy these floral sprigs at Hobby Lobby and Michaels for 50% off and use them on top of some of our gifts. It's that extra special step that makes all the difference. I reuse a lot of mine year after year. I don't do this on every single gift but just a few here and there really make for a pretty view under your Christmas Tree. :)

Before wrapping I lay them out together to see how they look together. I just like to have a plan before diving in. BUT the beauty of it is... if you planned well when buying your items they should all pair together great! Takes out all the guess work. :)

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Happy wrapping and unwrapping! :) Cherish the time with your loved ones and soak in all that makes this season the BEST!
