Wrapping Week 2014: It’s Sharpie time!

Wrapping Week 2014: It’s Sharpie time!

I love wrapping presents, and I can get almost as jazzed about the outside of a pretty package as a I can about what’s on the inside, but I know not everyone wants to spend a precious Saturday in December trying to construct the perfect paper bow or wrapping yarn just so. There are trees…

Wrapping Week 2014: Paper and yarn

Wrapping Week 2014: Paper and yarn

I’ve talked before about my high school days as a Mod Podge-wielding miscreant. Just kidding, just kidding! I was super well behaved, but I did slap Mod Podge on just about anything that didn’t move. Anyway, my friends and I did tons of scrapbooking back then — like the hard copy, paper-and-sticker-embellishments kind — and…

Wrapping Week 2013: O Tannenbaum

Well, we started the week with Beany’s favorite wrapping project, and we’re ending the week with Jared’s, though I’m not sure whether it’s his favorite because he loves how it looks or because he had a hand in the process. I originally planned to break pencils into small pieces, glue those together to make the…

Wrapping Week 2012: Boy Likes Bike

Wrapping Week 2012: Boy Likes Bike

As Wrapping Week comes to a close, I thought I’d wrap things up by giving a nod to the sole guy in our house, the one who’s slightly less enthused than the rest of us by (though incredibly tolerant of) the overflowing bows, ribbons and gets-everywhere glitter that have spent the past four days covering…

Wrapping Week 2012: Put a Snowflake on It

December 6, 2012 By Katrina

I love a pretty package and will happily sit on the floor of my living room, surrounded by piles of paper, ribbon and tape, until every last present is wrapped, but I realize that spending two hours on a Tuesday night crafting intricate bows out of shopping bags isn’t everyone’s idea of a good time….

Wrapping Week 2012!

December 3, 2012 By Katrina

On Christmas morning, there are two very different kinds of people who gather around the tree. There are those who rip open presents and tear off bows, with a laser-like focus on what’s inside. And there are those who peel off tape, untie ribbons and pry back paper with the care of a professional present…

Wrapping Week: Button, button, who’s got the button?

December 16, 2011 By Katrina

It seems I’ve unintentionally ordered this week’s wrappings in increasing order of easy peasy-ness because today’s method is the simplest yet. Despite its simplicity, it’s one of my favorites. Talk about cute as a button. The snazziness of this wrapping really depends on the kind of buttons you choose to use. You can keep it…

Wrapping Week: For those who dig a monogram

December 15, 2011 By Katrina

Has anyone else ever received those Lillian Vernon catalogs in the mail? They used to come to our house when I was little, and I remember paging through the kids’ section every time they arrived, in desperate search of a personalized backpack, lunchbox, toy or pillowcase bearing my initials or name. At 5 or 6…

Wrapping Week: Thanks, Martha. Your punches are peachy.

December 14, 2011 By Katrina

When it comes to personalized wrapping, simple ideas can go a long way. This crafty take on holiday packaging was inspired by a walk down one of the Martha Stewart aisles at Michael’s (have you spent much time looking at all the craft-tastic doodads she has there?!? It’s crazy!). I fell in love with an…
