It's amazing how easy it is to turn a package wrapped in plain white paper into something creative an amazing. I love creative gift wrapping ideas [1], and I like to challenge myself to stock just a few colors of plain wrapping paper and come up with fun ways to embellish and create beautiful packaging with those basic papers.
I got a package of all sorts of fun craft goodies from the Jen Hadfield Home+Made craft supplies line by Jen from Tatertots and Jello [2], and when I opened the package and saw the golden circle garland, I knew immediately that I wanted to use it for a gift wrapping project.
The entire package was full of irresistible paper-crafting goodies, in fact. I'm completely in love with the color palette of black, white, gold, and kraft-paper brown.
This is pretty much the easiest gift wrapping tutorial ever. I used plain white wrapping paper to wrap the present, then I wound the gorgeous gold foil circle garland [3] from Jen's line around the box a few times, in a haphazard, criss-crossing fashion.
Add the lovely "be awesome" sticker (from this set of stickers in Jen's line [4]) and you have an absolutely smashing package, ready to brighten someone's day.
Who wouldn't love to receive a gift like that? Creative gift wrapping ideas don't have to be fussy or complicated!
