Every year I try to come up with unique ways to wrap the Christmas gifts. Last year I went with monograms on kraft.
This year I am sticking with kraft paper (is anyone surpised?) and going for a more vintage look using some goodies I've been hoarding.
I really should call it more shabby chic than vintage since I am using modern items too.
I so love the look of the white doilies against the kraft.
And an actual doily adds a special touch. I'm not usually into pink but it does work well with the faded shabby scheme!
I think this one might be my favourite.
I used a punch for the scalloped circles and stitched them together. The tags were cut with my Slice machine.
One of the nice things is that the gift recipient can keep and reuse some of the packaging if she is at all crafty. Yes, I am assuming that these would be more suited to females! Now to work on some masculine and kid themed ideas!
I have quite the stash of these items so I will be adding some gift wrapping kits to my Etsy shop in the next update.
2012 UPDATE: I no longer have gift wrap kits available, but you can see a wide selection of vintage trims doilies and book pages here
Don't you agree that a big part of gift giving is how the gift is presented? Sometimes I have more fun wrapping than deciding what to give!
