I ran out of time this year, but next year I’m committing to pulling out the inner Martha in me to wrap my gifts as cute as hers are! Look below for a few fantastic and easy ideas to spruce up your holiday gift wrapping.

1. Candy Wrapping – dress packages in candy stripes for a sweet presentation. Use double-sided tape to secure the end of a length of ribbon to the bottom of a wrapped package. Wind around box, spacing stripes evenly; thread a tag through the free end of the ribbon. Finish by affixing ribbon underneath the box with double-sided tape. Repeat with ribbons in different widths or colors.
2. Typewritten Gift Tags – instead of writing new tags every year, keep a file of names on your computer and create customized tags using a template.
3. Fabric Envelopes – personalize small gifts by slipping them into delightful hand-stitched pouches.
4. Fabric Gift Wrap – photocopying vibrant fabrics is an easy way to create eye-catching gift wrap.
