When it comes to gift wrapping, I really love incorporating different textures using mostly neutrals. Think washed linen, rich velvet ribbon and bleached burlap. Then, I like to add touches from nature, like pinecones and greenery. For these particular gifts, I used a mix of faux and real greenery. The olive branches were plucked from our tree in the backyard and the faux cedar stems are from Michaels.
A couple of other things that I used were these leather gift tags and these really cute bronze bells. In case you start to feel inspired to wrap up your own unique gifts at home, I will be linking everything below so that you can easily access many of the items I used.
One other thing I want to mention is my love for Furoshiki. Furoshiki is a beautiful Japanese tradition that uses cloth to wrap gifts. It looks difficult, but it is actually very simple once you know the steps. You will need a square piece of cloth (I used washed linen), and a gift to wrap up.
Start by laying your square cloth down in a diamond on a flat surface. Put your gift in the center and then grab two opposite corners of the cloth to tie them into a big knot. Then, take the other two corners and tie them into a big fluffy knot on top of the first knot you made. That is it! Now you can add in pinecones and greenery.
Everything I used is linked below, as well as in my LTK shop.
Velvet Ribbon in this gorgeous color. I used the 1 inch option that comes in 25 yards.
Pine cones attached to a bendable stick (great for sticking into gifts).
Furoshiki cloth. I like this neutral color as well as this grey option.
Kraft wrapping paper. This is a nice alternative to cloth if you prefer to stick with paper.
Faux Cedar Stems here and here.
My sweater dress (runs big, so be sure to size down).
Christmas stockings (chunky knit and beige and cream stripes).
Wishing you a wonderful holiday!
