DIY Creative Gift Wrap Ideas

I have a confession. I love to wrap!

As a kid, I’d spend hours locked in my room curling ribbon, crafting bows and making sure my paper was perfectly folded and taped. I was wild!

While there may have only been Dollar store gifts inside, the wrapping made it look like it came straight from Bloomingdale’s!

So whether you’re wrapping a simple homemade gift like my Music Lyric Plate or something from their favorite store, add a DIY spin to your packages to make them pop.

Here are some of my favorites that I’ve created over the years …
