Let’s get creative with our wrapping this year. No big budget needed! A little out-of-the-box thinking with your bow placement can make a huge difference. We started with one idea, and before we knew it, the fun took over. Once you get started, you’ll be hooked too! Wrapping has never been this much fun! Check out our Christmas wrapping ideas below.
Christmas wrapping supplies
Keep your paper simple and easy to draw on so the kids can let their imaginations run wild. Whether it’s flowers for Nan or a fishing rod for Dad, there’s no limit to what you can create together!
What you’ll need:
- Brown wrapping paper or craft paper
- A mix of colourful, budget-friendly Christmas bows
Gift bows as flowers
With a little imagination, the humble Christmas gift bow can blossom into a personalised work of art! Perfect for adding a special touch to gifts for loved ones, you can turn bows into flowers in vases, posies, jugs, pots, or even a whole garden. Depending on the shape of your gift, anything works!
Santa’s hat, reindeer, and even a Christmas tree
You can use bows alone to form fun shapes, or draw on the gift and let the bows bring your design to life, like a reindeer’s bright red nose! Add a personal message to make it extra special. Often, the simplest designs end up being the most loved.
More bow-tiful designs to try
From Christmas tree decorations to twinkling fairy “bow” lights, the only limit is your imagination! Ask the kids what they love most about Christmas, make a fun list, and then let the designing begin.
