THE FIND: KRAFT PAPER GIFT WRAP IDEAS

I recently just bought myself three rolls of kraft paper (on sale!) because there really isn’t anything better than brown paper packages tied up with string.  Plus, kraft paper creates the perfect canvas to get really artsy and creative with the gift wrap!  So I started gathering inspiration online and have found some really great ideas…

Eco-friendly gift wrap.

Popsicle stick wrap, tree trimming and raffia wrap.

White ink + brown paper bags.

Bird and branch embellishments, holiday library card gift wrap.

Genius wrapping ideas by Tokketokconfetti dips and painted names.

P.S. Some gifts I wrapped last Christmas with kraft paper.

I always use kraft paper for gifts. Usually, I buy this roll that they’ve had at target for ages, with a really subtle stripe, and it lends itself to all sorts of fun! At Christmas, I love using kraft paper with silver ribbon and writing out my gift tags (or even making my own stamp) with metallic ink.

Kraft paper is one of my favorite things to use to wrap presents, but I’d never thought of wrapping them in all these different ways. I need to get myself another roll or two.

How fun! I do love a well wrapped present-it really shows you care. And it’s the fun creative part of gift giving. That dipping confetti is awesome!

I love kraft paper, toooo… one year I bought several rolls, but some had prints on them: toile, black dragonflies, and stars. So cute and I loved dressing them up, too!

You have some gorgeous ideas displayed here!! I’ll be referencing them in the near future!!

beautiful ideas! My family calls kraft paper my “signature wrapping”. They always know which presents are from me. It’s a great way to re-use grocery or shopping bags.
