Regardless of how appealing it may be to throw everything in a gift bag, there are a number of tricks that will transform your wrapping job from drab to fantastic. We’ve got everything you need to wrap like a pro, whether you’re out of tape, bows, or don’t know how to wrap a gift (even the odd-shaped ones). To see all of our favorite gift wrapping ideas, keep reading.
1. Wrap Diagonally
Blossom, a DIY website, contains various gift-wrapping techniques, notably one that demonstrates how to wrap a present diagonally.
2. Candy bow
Bows made of paper and fabric are a thing of the past. This year, add a candy bow inspired by Happy Go Lucky to your box to make it extra sweeter. Choose your family’s favorite candy and attach it to the front of the gift for an extra unique touch.
3. Use aluminum foil
Do you have a paper shortage? Dress up some gifts like Honestly Modern with that hoard of glossy wrapping material or that large roll of aluminum foil gathering dust in the kitchen. What’s the best part? This type of option means you’re repurposing goods you already own and reducing waste.
4. Use fresh leaves & flowers
With a snip of pine or another seasonal leaf, you can quickly spruce up any gift. The delightful aroma will delight the receiver, and the non-traditional topper is a refreshing change from a paper or fabric bow.
