My gift wrapping is done...there's just one problem...my gift making is NOT. I still have 2-3 sewing projects that I keep putting off and I've got to get busy this weekend and finish making a few things. I love to creativly wrap my gifts and my family says there is no need to ever sign who my packages are from, because they just know! ![](//4.bp.blogspot.com/-x1OJ1RlGk-Q/TuwR-hrNEtI/AAAAAAAAA4c/PBovP22EM7A/s640/CHRISTMAS+TREE11.jpg)
When blue jeans are too worn out to use, I cut the pockets off and add the pocket to a natural colored gift sack. I come from a family of Cowboys, so Wrangler jeans get repurposed for gift wrap! ![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x1OJ1RlGk-Q/TuwR-hrNEtI/AAAAAAAAA4c/PBovP22EM7A/s640/CHRISTMAS+TREE11.jpg)
Can you believe this is a Foldgers Coffee Can covered in burlap? A great gift "box" and useful storage container.
Pretty bows are a must!
I had the instruction sheets that were part of the patterns I got at Goodwill to make my Christmas tree ornaments and decided to wrap a Pioneer Woman Cookbook with the vintage instructions. Since the paper was small, I wrapped the box top and bottom seperate, so the lid will just lift off the box. I took a strip of the pattern package and made a flower with names on the leaves.![](//2.bp.blogspot.com/-5bYM5DD8q0Q/TuwWt1drXbI/AAAAAAAAA5E/6CueLhHoXko/s640/GIFT+WRAP+PATTERN+PAPER.jpg)

Basic brown craft paper is my favorite thing to use. I can use so many different types of decorations and colors to finish the wrapping.
So are you finished with your gift buying/making and wrapping or are you like me and still have a few things to go?
I love your giftwrapping ideas. They are gifts themselves.
ReplyDeleteAll very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI always love the creations you come up with, Janice, and these are no exceptions. I agree, the wrappings are gifts!
ReplyDeleteLove them all. Have a great weekend, finish up, girl one week to go. :)
You put my gift wrapping to shame. I wish I were getting a present from you just to see how you wrapped it!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I am done! Put a fork in me, LOL. I did a lot of internet shopping this year to make it easier on myself. Your wrappings look beautiful and I agree on using the plain brown paper. It is good to use all year long and oh-so thrifty!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO Talented!!!
ReplyDeleteLove these!
