Like others who have posted before about present wrapping, I also favour brown paper. There are so many ways you can jazz it up, like using pretty ribbons and gift tags, or printing or painting onto the wrap. I think that brown paper really
stands out against traditional Christmas wrapping too, when presents are under the tree.This year, I went for a silver raffia-style ribbon with a red paper gift tag (with pinked edges) and a felt snowflake. Simple and effective, though cutting out the snowflakes is a bit fiddly.
The snowflake could be used as a tree decoration, and could also be decorated with beads or glitter glue to jazz it up.
I got the snowflake shape from
this tutorial from
Craftster for a snowflake garland, which links to
this page where you can find templates for the snowflakes to print and cut out. I made the snowflake garland last year too!
