Handmade Xmas Part 2: Brown paper parcels

I suspect that many of you, like me, are pedantic about the particulars of Christmas gift wrapping. This year I’m going for budget-friendly brown paper, which looks rather chic tied with old-school twine, or you could be inspired by some of the gorgeous ideas by Gloustershire-based Etsy seller Lupin (of felt tea brooches fame) over on her blog, Bugs and Fishes.

I’m loving her genius how-tos on decorating brown paper parcels…

with paper snowflakes…

with vintage stamps…

with pom-poms…

with lacy cake ribbon…

and with cut-out fonts...

I've always been a brown paper and twine girl but now, you've given me ideas of add-ons. You're the best! xx

I meant, "for" , not "of". Ooops.

I too always wrap Christmas gifts in brown paper, but I think pom-poms are the way forward for dressing them up instead of the ribbon I normally use - much more fun!
