I always wrap my Christmas gifts at the last minute. By the time I go to the store to actually buy the wrapping paper, it seems like all the good patterns are gone!

Well, not this year! I have jute string, beads, pine cones, ribbon and buttons ready to go. I still need some inspiration to get me started so if you have any clever wrapping ideas, please leave me a comment!

Matchbook magazine has some lovely gift wrap ideas – photos below. If you want to learn how to make your own mini pom pom, they have an easy step-by-step tutorial in their latest issue.

I used to devour interior design magazines at this time of year to get inspiration and clever gift wrap ideas. I’ve made my own wrapping paper, tags and bows. Giving gifts makes me happy. Making DIY wrapping gives me a sense of satisfaction and it saves me money! Anyone can throw a gift into a dollar store bag, so upcycle some of the items you can part with, and DIY your presents this year!

Use beads and buttons to create a personal touch to your wrapping.

One of my personal faves, top your gifts with vintage broaches and earrings.

This is such a great idea – wrapping with coffee filters. Why didn’t I think of this? Duh! Image courtesy of a Creative Mint.

This DIY wrapping tutorial is amazing! Wait until you see how many gifts were wrapped for only $5.53! Read the whole post here.
