Wrapping Week 2016: Simple Lattice Gift Wrap

December 21, 2016 By Katrina

Wrapping Week 2016: Simple Lattice Gift Wrap

This wrapping idea was 100 percent inspired by pie. That’s totally normal, right? I made a pretty lattice pie crust at Thanksgiving this year, and I’ve been jonesing for a repeat ever since. Of course, ribbon isn’t nearly as delicious as a butter-flour-sugar combo, but the process was nearly identical.

Cupcake Trees

Cupcake Trees

There are so many fun things already around your house that you can use to wrap presents, and I think these cupcake trees are a fun example of that. Cupcake liners, paper straws and baker’s string — that’s all you need!

Paint and Sharpie Trees

Paint and Sharpie Trees

For the past year, pretty much any painting Beany does turns into some version of pink on pink. We have pink landscapes, pink rainbows and lots and lots of pink girls. This calls for a steady stream of pink paint, of course, because a proper pink painting requires varying shades. According to the master, “Pink…

Wrapping Week 2013: O Tannenbaum

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 2013: Fa La La Felt Ornaments

December 10, 2013 By Katrina

Ever since I made these felt cookies for Beany and my niece last Christmas (which are holding up amazingly well and still favorite toys in our house), I’ve been toting around a ridiculously large supply of scrap felt. It’s like when you’re eating dinner at one of those gigantic-portions Italian restaurants, and no matter how…

Let’s get wrapping!

December 6, 2013 By Katrina

How did Christmas get to be less than three weeks away? I know, broken record, broken record. But has this past month flown by, or what? I’ve amazingly finished my shopping already, which is pretty unheard of for me this early in the game, but that just means there’s lots of wrapping around the corner….

For Beany’s cookie jar: DIY felt cookie tutorial

For Beany’s cookie jar: DIY felt cookie tutorial

In my very favorite episode of Little House on the Prairie, a snow-covered Mr. Edwards bursts through the door of the Ingalls family home on their first Christmas in Kansas. There’s a blizzard blowing outside, and Mr. Edwards looks more like a frosty Santa Claus than his usual grizzly man self. Although I could replay…

Wrapping Week 2012: Mod Podge Glam

December 4, 2012 By Katrina

In high school, I think it’s safe to say that my friends and I would have Mod Podged just about anything that sat still long enough for us to grab our scissors and brush. It was the early 2000s, when paper scrapbooking was still the thing, we made posters by hand instead of by computer…

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…
