Would you believe that almost all of my wrapping is finished already? Amazing what this year’s no-last-minute-gift-crafting has done for our December Crazy Level.

And since I have resolved not to buy any new gift wrap this year, our entire stack of gifts (so far) is wrapped in brown kraft paper and dressed up with things I’ve gathered from around our house (and that you could easily find at a craft store, or even a dollar store, if you don’t have them on hand). Here are eight fun ways to dress up a brown paper package-

1- Mini pom poms

2- Sequins and hot glue

3- Washi tape

4- A grid of metallic ribbon

5- A giant pom pom

6- Tinsel

7- A feather boa

8- Gold foil polka dot stickers

I have three or four more plain brown paper packages sitting under the tree- what would you add to those?
