I am a big fan of kraft paper, always have been. I’m all for the simple kraft look with twine & paired with a little green. But why not spruce up your paper with a hand painted design? It doesn’t need to be perfect and you definitely don’t need to be an artist. In fact, I kind of like the inconsistency….it gives it more character ;) I decided to mix it up this year with a few different designs.
All you need is the kraft paper, a fine brush (or whatever size you prefer for your design), black paint, and a little water for mixing. This isn’t just reserved for the holidays….you could create any design to fit your occasion! I am sure most of you are done with your wrapping….but if you’re not, don’t forget you can download my holiday tags here! xx
Ahhhh that wrapping paper is so cute! I’m pretty useless at wrapping presents usually… But I still have a few more left to wrap so I may *try* and do them a better this time!
I usually use paper grocery bags to wrap gifts! Christmas is the only time that I use “real” wrapping paper since I have multiple gifts to wrap at once.
Your wrapping looks great! I love the pom and the pine!
These are just perfect! I’ve been so loving brown paper wrapping lately, but this sort of puts it up a notch — or two! Super nice! Merry Christmas!!

Wow that looks so pretty!!
Nice twist on a classic combo. I also love the bit of glitter mixed in! Beautifully done!
