The holidays are definitely in full swing now. I'm no where near ready, but let's fast forward a bit here. Decorating is done, cookies have been started and my presents are all mostly shopped for. Which of course leads to the next thing on my to do list...wrapping gifts! I'm working on ways to add a more of a personal touch to my presents this year with DIY Christmas Gift Wrap. So on that note, here are 21 DIY ideas for making your own wrapping paper & bags.
You can put together your very own personalized look down to the bows and gift tags! I also included creative ideas for wrapping gifts.
One of the other bonuses to making your own gift wrap is that most of the designs are kid friendly. You can make some great memories together at the same time as your gift wrap.
That's what I call #winning the holidays!
Now choose your design, gather your materials and most importantly have lots of very merry fun making your personalized gift wrap.

I think next year I'm going to spend some time making my own drawstring cloth gift bags in varying sizes. Re-purposing clothes or table cloths purchased at the thrift store would keep cost down AND make some re-usable bags we could use for many years. :)
