Wrapping Week 2016: Simple Lattice Gift Wrap

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.

Paper Straw Stars

Paper Straw Stars

It’s the final day of Wrapping Week 2015! Are your presents looking snazzy yet? I love this last wrapping idea because you don’t need glue or tape to make it happen — just string and straws and some mad cool folding skills. These paper straw stars look super cute atop a package, but they’re just as…

This chalk marker wrapping paper is the easiest of all and perfect if you only have minutes before running out the door. Grab some plain wrapping paper, a chalk marker and a dot of paint, and freehand something festive!

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

December 16, 2015 By Katrina

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 2014: Magic wands

Wrapping Week 2014: Magic wands

It seems like every year for Wrapping Week, I plan and buy supplies for four ideas and then end up making the last one pretty last minute, pieced together from the scraps and bits left behind by the first four presents of the week. Some years it works out better than others, but I think…

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: Finger paint Frosty!

Wrapping Week 2014: Finger paint Frosty!

Holidays have always been a big deal in our house, but now that we have a 3-year-old who’s hitting her holiday-loving stride, it only feels fitting to kick things up a notch. This year for Halloween, we visited a pumpkin patch, where Beany picked out a teeny tiny pumpkin she named Spookley. After a decorative…

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…
