Do you feel over whelmed when it comes to gift wrapping?
I am going to share with you my approach and how it helps me stay organized and happily wrapping….
First, I have to admit that I am like a kid in a candy store when it comes to wrapping paper and ribbons.
When you think about it, choosing your paper and ribbons is like choosing fabrics for your room.
Make it fun and coordinate them and organize them in a way that they look pretty and are easily accessible.
Let me show you what I mean……
Packages waiting for their embellishments……
Tools needed for wrapping……..
You will notice the little basket on the right has my tools, scissors, tape, glue stick, markers all together.
All my ribbons are lined up in a basket ready to make a pretty bow.
I have fun paper ribbon with stickers that have our family name on them.
Jingle bells are a theme for this years Christmas so I have a bowl full to add to the packages.
I don’t have a designated room to do my gift wrapping in, but I do have a large kitchen bar that works well.
You
can still make your wrapping station look attractive while working by
putting all the necessary elements in baskets for easy access. It also
helps keep me organized.
By
getting pretty papers and ribbons it really helps in making your
packages stand out. I just tie simple uncomplicated bows on my packages.
Now for the fun part!! Arranging them under the tree…..
A Christmas Helper:
I place the gifts under the tree without their bows first to figure out the arrangement.
It
is kind of like putting pillows on your sofa. Once I see where the
gifts will go, it helps me decide on which color of bow to use.
I
hope this will help make gift wrapping a little easier and more
enjoyable for you. Below you will find the sources I use for my gift
wrapping supplies.
