24 Gift Wrapping Ideas

December 8, 2014 By Jamie Dorobek 30 Comments

Rachel of Lines Across launched Let’s Wrap Stuff a few months ago! It’s a website devoted to really awesome DIY gift wrap ideas. To celebrate its launch, Rachel challenged a group of bloggers to come up with a creative gift wrap idea using plain ol’ kraft paper or brown paper bags. Check out all 24 brown paper gift wrap ideas below, and get ready for the easiest gift wrapping idea ever! And not only easy, but free! Well, assuming you have brown paper bags at home. I’m seriously pretty excited about this one. Check out this cuteness:

I start with a stack of these:

And then cut off the bottoms and the handles. Then my secret trick to cute brown paper bag wrapping: Crumple! Put the kiddos on cutting the bags flat and crumple duty. Max happily helped with the crumple part!

Then wrap up the package like normal, I used Scotch double sided tape!  Now it’s time for the fun part… doodle on bows and gift tags with a plain black Sharpie! I used a thin black Sharpie too. Talk about easy! And no need for gift tags.

    What a clever idea. This is so great for the kids to be involved with. They could even color them. So much fun.

    I received a couple packages that I was told not to open and just wrap and this was exactly what I did. Such a great idea!

    I’m a little obsessed with these Jamie! I love how crinkly the paper is and how all you used is a sharpie! Thanks for sharing and for being a part of the series!

    Love this idea … and we have colored sharpies.

    Sounds strange, but I’d better start leaving my recyclable bags at home for Christmas!
