... wrapping...
* * *
My idea of wrapping consist of a pretty bag, tissue paper, and maybe a bow, if you're lucky.
This year I want to spice things up. Get creative and spruce up my wrapping. #nobagsforme

There seems to be a theme. Each picture that catches my eye has a touch of nature. I guess I can say, "this year I'm keeping it natural"! A good place to start when looking for items to add to your wrapping is your yard. It is amazing what you can do with nature's simple pleasures.
Feathers.

Beauty to my eyeballs (& probs not in your backyard...). There is something sophisticated about the combination of gold and feathers. Any art store has many selections of different types of feathers to choose from that you can add to your wrapping no matter the color scheme. Kinda sexy!
Have extra ornaments laying around?

Wrap with them! Just the smallest touch of shine can add wonders to your gift. How simple right? And all while de-cluttering your unused Christmas decorations. You can use all sorts of festive items that you have hanging around. Just one less thing you have to pack back up!

If your tree needs trimming, sweep those suckers up and use them. It will add a nice Christmas feel to the gift for sure. Take whatever ribbon, string, burlap, you name it & there you have it, a completed gift.
My advice? Keep it simple & don't spend too much on the wrapping, you don't want it to be nicer than the gift! And it will probably be thrown away anyway. Look at your gift wrapping is a clean canvas! Your friends & family will be blown away!

...Mondays don't always have to be terrible...
Happy Wrapping!
