I really enjoy wrapping presents and usually make quite an effort to be creative and arty with them, but this year I haven't had the time or the desire to do anything very clever. After seeing this article in a magazine I really wish I'd made more of an effort. Check out these parcels and see what you think.
Sorry the images aren't great, I scanned them from the magazine. I'm not totally convinced by the one wrapped in newspaper but love the others.
My sister is one of those creative types who wrap GORGEOUSLY. It's always a shame to rip into her gifts. Alas, I do not share her creativity in this department.
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteI am a failure in the creative wrapping department - and would find some of these hard to open. Too pretty to destroy...
I'm more of the bag lady type and I don't like shopping either. I was also one that never liked tearing open pretty packages. I was very careful to preserve it and still have some pretty ones around here.
ReplyDeletei wrap presently horribly. always wondered how my mom got them to look so nice. she had tried showing me but i cant cut the paper straight either.. LOL... Oh well my girls get what they get and they are wrapped.. Merry xmas my friend.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I think nobody beats you at wrapping presents ;) As for me I wish I had that skill but sadly I don't, and actually I don't even care much :D
ReplyDeleteMy mother was excellent at wrapping gifts beautifully and I think you are, too. I'm terrible. In fact, I'm of the opinion they're only going to get ripped open, so I might as well make it easy. ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful (almost too beautiful to open) and I love that last one which hides what's inside!
My wife does beautiful wrappings. However, I do not, but I do try. I really need to get started on them pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteThose are so great! I can never wrap things well, unfortunately. It ends up looking like a child's attempt.
