Almost every year I use bells and greenery, which I used this year as well. These Christmas gift wrapping ideas will show you how to mastermind last-minute holiday giftwrap with household supplies as unassuming as graph paper and sharpies. I start by gathering my supplies, gift wrap, ribbons, scissors, tape, and some little things to embellish the wrapped packages. I’m usually up all night on Christmas Eve, wrapping and wrapping! I’m so excited to get a head start this year, I might even finish wrapping before Christmas Eve! I don’t know about you, but I tend to wait until the very last minute to wrap all the Christmas gifts. Tie a green ribbon around it vertically, then tape the flower to the center of the box.Today I am so excited to join a few friends to share a few gift wrapping ideas. Cut fringe along one edge, then roll up the strip and secure to the poinsettia with tape.

Make the poinsettia’s center: Cut a strip of butcher paper about 1 inch wide and 10 inches long.

Tape the petals together so the larger ones are on the bottom. Using double-stick tape, sandwich the string between the ornament and the back. Leave just a bit of white showing around the line on the ornaments for the best look. Make smaller creases in each leaf by pressing into the paper with the edge of a Popsicle stick (use the ruler as a guide). And that means it’s time to get artsy and craft your very own gift wrap. Print and cut out ornaments and backs (templates in the materials list).

Fold the petals in half lengthwise, then unfold so you can see the crease.

Cut the painted paper into eight large petals that each measure about 3 inches wide and 5 inches long, two medium petals that each measure about 21⁄2 inches wide and 4 inches long and four small petals that each measure about 2 inches wide and 2 inches long.

Cut a piece of butcher paper that measures at least 12 inches square. I usually get all my wrapping paper from Target, every year they release so many cute wrapping items.

There's really no reason to limit your creativity. You can even use edible garnishes, such as dried oranges, as gift toppers-a particularly fun touch for any homemade food gifts you're planning to give this year. Whether you choose to embellish your presents with DIY clay gift tags, calligraphy wrapping paper, mini wreaths, DIY ornaments, or bottlebrush trees, you're bound to find inspiration here.
