The act of receiving and giving gifts is a tradition as old as time and one that brings joy. We can all agree that gifting makes us a lot happier. In fact, it allows us to feel fresh, joyful, and satisfied, whether the gift is from the dollar store or Louis Vuitton.

One way to personalize a gift for your loved ones is by wrapping it up into adorable sheets with perfectly folded corners and elaborate tied bows.

If you’re not the craftiest, the most artistic person in your family, this guide to wrapping holiday gifts is perfect. Here are ten easy ways you can wrap gifts.

DIY Paper Poinsettia Gift Wrap

Try making poinsettias from cardstock to add a little beauty to your gif wrappings and make them look pretty.

You can beautify them by cutting cardstock by hand and securing them with a button and fringed ribbon.

Polka Dot

For someone who loves plain yet colorful gift wrappings, DIY polka dots gift wrappers are the way to go!

You can cut out big multi-colored polka dots from computer color papers or formic sheets. After that, stick it over transparent Kraft paper to ensure everyone steals a glance at your gift.

Snowman Gift Wrap for Cardboard Box

Add a little color to boring cardboard boxes by turning them into adorable snowmen.

Wrap a couple of boxes in a white wrapping sheet. After that, cut circles in black ones and stick them as eyes and a smile.

You can also place a hat on your snowmen and wrap a colorful bow across the top box. Don’t forget to glue the snowman’s orange nose and green and red buttons!

Santa and His Elves

Are you looking for a DIY idea for your gift bags? Try recreating Santa and his elves by grabbing a couple of red, green, black, and white sheets.

Cut out the legs, shoes, belts, beards, and collars from these colored sheets. Then, use a glue stick and attach the elements to the gift bag. Leave it on for several minutes and let the glue dry. After that, you can hot glue buttons on your gift bag.

Bubblegum Gift Wrap Idea

The bubblegum gift wrapping is too cute to open! With a couple of pink and silver sheets, you can make the gift wrap almost better than the gift.

Wrap your gift in different shades of pink and write “Bubblegum” atop it. Use silver wrapping paper on the edges to sell the look.

Button and Ribbon Gift Toppers

If you’re out of creative juice, the button and ribbon gift toppers are a straightforward yet excellent way of personalizing your gift wrapper.

All you need is hot glue, buttons, a few ribbons, wrapping paper, and presents to wrap—simply hot glue colorful buttons atop the wrapped present.

In the end, you can add a vibrant ribbon at the corner of the box for a cute personalized touch.

Pick a Palette for Your Wrapping Sheets

Another incredible way of creating cute gifts is layering gift wraps in various hues of the same color family.

You can go one step further to make sure your gifts look fantastic by picking toppers of a complimenting color family.

Chalkboard Packaging

Create unique gift wrapping by decorating each packaging with a chalkboard-like technique. Use dark hues like black or Prussian blue to wrap your gifts.

After that, grab a white distress marker to design and personalize your wrapping sheet.

Photo Gift Tag Idea

Show your family members, friends, and coworkers you care by adding a touch of personalization to your gift wrapper with your favorite memories.

Gluing a photo of yourself and the giftee and decorating it with a cute ribbon ensures it looks super cute and makes it an excellent keepsake.

Alternatively, you can make a handmade tag on a white stock card and attach it to the gift wrapping paper. That way, your friend won’t risk tearing the picture apart.

Reindeer Silhouettes Gift Wrapping Idea

Make your fleet of reindeer by reusing butcher paper for a good cause.

Find the reindeer-shaped cookie cutter in your kitchen and use newsprint or construction paper to create stag silhouettes. You can make your bland gift wrapper look adorable with careful tracing, cutting, and gluing.

There’s no better excuse to showcase your love and feelings for your close friends and family members than by sending a thoughtful gift during the holiday season.

With a few wrapping sheets, a bottle of glue, and a pair of scissors, you can personalize your gift wrappings and show your loved ones you care.
