Neutral Christmas Present Wrapping

November 17, 2020 by admin 2 Comments

Keeping in line with my minimal style, I love Christmas presents that are naturally wrapped with neutral colors, and I know there are lots of different ways to do this, but right now, this is the wrapping method I’m loving most so I thought I’d share all the details on how I created these look because it’s SO easy!

See the bottom of this post for cute gift tag ideas. I drew each one by hand in about 5 seconds and it’s another fun way to DIY personalize gift tags. The trick is don’t overthink it and just go for it!

Wrapping paper:

  • Natural Wrapping Paper: Amazon | Walmart | Walmart

Gift tags (see bottom of post for my personalizations):

  • Black Gift Tags: Amazon | Walmart
  • White chalk marker: Amazon | Walmart

Labels (print any message you want for a personalized touch):

  • Label maker: Amazon | Walmart | The Container Store
  • Label refills: Amazon (black) | Amazon (multicolor)

Burlap (I like to use this under ribbon or twine as a statement base):

  • Striped burlap 3.5″: Amazon | Walmart
  • Natural burlap 3″: Amazon | Walmart

Ribbon (I prefer simply colors and will often reuse the ribbon to prevent waste):

  • Black satin ribbon: Amazon | Michaels
  • White satin ribbon: Amazon | Michaels

Twine (my go-to favorite – even just simple natural twine on natural paper with a little green sprig and black is elegant and beautiful):

  • Natural Twine Gift Wrap String: Amazon | Walmart | Walmart
  • Striped twine: Amazon | Walmart (natural & black)
  • Striped twine: Amazon | Walmart (red & white)

      My dad made the frames when he was in high school.
      I painted the trees with wall paint on card stock.
