As many of you learned last year, I like to have a holiday
gift wrap theme each year. Born out of necessity, I am extra excited to share this year’s look.
With a new baby in the house,
gift wrap was not at the top of my list. One day, she was napping especially well and I found myself with some free time to get some wrapping done. One problem – I hadn’t planned anything or purchased any paper. Creative inspiration struck! I love the look of our Paper Bag
wrapping paper, and decided to use the months of my Great Big Calendar as the base for this year’s gift wrap. Once I started, the ideas kept coming.
One month is the perfect size for a standard shirt box. For larger packages, I banded with a strip of calendar or used our Holiday Typography Paper, which matches perfectly (though this required my husband to make a quick run to our
Evanston Store). So far, my favorite idea is this bow made out of the days of the week.
I hope this idea inspires you. For more inspiration, check out these
wrapping tips for the season.
From our new family to yours – happy holidays!
