Our family has a tradition for how we wrap our Christmas presents.
We use brown, thick kraft paper and jute twine to wrap all of our gifts:
I love this tradition, and we have used it again and again for several reasons:
- It is beautiful and simple.
- It is no-fuss and easy as can be. It reminds me of a simpler time; a time when they really did use brown paper for their packages…
- It works for nearly any kind of package. It is strong enough to use on items that have no box; or it is big enough to wrap around huge boxes.
- It is very, very inexpensive. You can order a huge roll of kraft paper and use it Christmas after Christmas. The same goes for the jute twine.
- You cannot help but sing “My Favorite Things,” every time you wrap your gifts.
Add a beautiful gift tag, and you are set.
This year, I am using these amazing tags. Thanks Emily. Gorgeous and free.
