DIY Christmas Wrapping Ideas

We buy wrapping paper with super cute designs for all occasions. However, we want to show the people love and care about that the gift they are receiving reflects our gratitude, love, and admiration. A well thought out gift deserves gift wrapping that is easy to make while looking like a piece of art. Here are some DIY Christmas wrapping ideas.

1) Striped Straw Gift Topper

Straws have more uses than just drinking beverages through. Gather a few red and white striped straws into a fan-like shape and pin the center down with a red tac for this festive DIY gift topper.
