If you haven’t finished wrapping your gifts yet, not to worry! There is still today, and with these simple and pretty ideas – no one will know you waited until the last minute to wrap. With modest brown paper and some twine, you can actually make quite a statement – all you need is a little detail like any of the ones seen here: a little branch, leaves, piece of birch bark, photograph, buttons, sealing wax (one of my favorites), felted acorn, pine cones, little sleigh bells, or clothes pins. The possibilities are endless of course. What can you find in your back yard, or in your craft closet? Cue the lyrics from the Sound of Music: “brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things…” Happy wrapping!
