Easy, festive gift wrapping DIY

Posted by Miriam Naumann on December 15, 2011 (0 Comments)
Even with the mild temperatures around New York, signs of the holiday season are everywhere to be found: from twinkling lights, to Christmas music constantly playing, to pop-up Christmas tree lots...

Today those trees inspired this easy giftwrapping idea. Combined with our *love* of tissue paper, this one was a no-brainer. It uses things you most likely have hanging around anyway at this time of year: colorful tissue paper or wrapping paper and a paper bag.

   
 
Tear up the tissue paper and crumple into little balls. Perfection not necessary! See how the bag is folded up there? Perfect. We're going to attach some of these crumpled up tissue pieces to the side of the bag like so:

Ta da! You're all done. As you can see, we topped our tree with a Little Esop sticker! You can add different colored bits of paper to make "ornaments" or zigzag some ribbon across the tree to make strings of lights. Go crazy! The bags are good for holding treats or small gifts, or anything else you want. You can decorate the rest of the bag, too, or just attach a card and you're good to go.

Obviously if you're not Christmas-tree-inclined, you can use your tissue to make any shape your festivity desires. The tissue paper adds some fun texture to a standard gift bag, and this is easier than meticulously wrapping all of your gift boxes!
