I wanted to go sort of minimalist this year with my wrapping, but still keep it light and fun. Done and done.
My three wrapping essentials for 2012...
Baker's twine, a big roll of butcher's paper, and some holiday washi. So easy, so satisfying. I actually love wrapping gifts, something so meditative about the process for me. How about you? Do you go big with bows and glitter? Or keep things simple?
ps - Merry Christmas!!
I keep it simple... mainly because I just don't have the skills(haha). But I really like the simpler look. Your idea is so nice! It reminds me of old packages.

Thanks Samii! Sometimes old school is the best way to go.

Defne, they look wonderful and minimalist which is what you set out to achieve. I used to do things like that but now I reserve it for the few people who I think will appreciate the effort. For my two boys however, the gaudier the better and there is no care with the sellotape - we just get on with it! Wishing you a lovely Christmas and all the best for the New Year and thank you for stopping past - I love reading your comments. Sue x

Took a look at your post and while I can't read what it says the photo is lovely! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI totally did something similar (but used black & white bakers twine, and made my own tags)! I seem to always use craft paper...it just makes everything else pop.
ReplyDeleteYour tags are ridiculous! So detailed, so much care! Kinda makes my slap-some-washi-on technique seem lackadaisical... Still, thanks for stopping by!
DeleteBeautiful wrapping!

Love the way you've wrapped your presents! They look so festive but simple. I normally go for brash loud paper with Santa Clauses all over them.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! xx
Ha! For years I used the same paper every christmas, waiting to see the end of the roll (which never came, a miracle? a curse?), bright red and green, covered in those troll dolls all dressed up as santas. The epitome of class and minimalism. About time I tried something different!
DeleteI like this a lot! I should try this next year. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks! Or substitute some other kind of washi and use it year-round!
Delete¿Te ha gustado? Me lo compré embarazada, no veas lo bien que me vino!
