Here are 6 easy creative gift-wrap ideas so you can learn to wrap gifts without going crazy:
Use a box, a piece of fabric, a bag, gift-wrapping paper or newspaper print to wrap your present
1. Cool Wrap: Use a box. This is the most practical, simplest and most impressive way to wrap a gift. In countries such as the US, no body gives a gift without first putting it inside a box. The box prevents you from having to grapple with tape, scissors and two clumsy left hands. Look for a box that's the right size for the gift you've bought and seal it shut with some stickers or tie a bow around it. You'll find well-priced boxes at price-point stores. If you want to spend even less, use a gift bag instead of a box.
2. Cheap Wrap: Reuse any fabric bag you may have around the house. We're not talking about reusable supermarket bags, but those trendy cloth bags some shops give you with your purchase. Choose a plain color or a print; just make sure there's no wording on it. Use some Velcro tape to fasten it shut and add a felt brooch or a lollipop. It's a perfect gift wrap idea when the recipient is a girl.
3. Chic Wrap: reuse a piece of fabric. Rummage through your mom's sewing kit and see if you can snatch a few scraps of fabric. Now, how do you wrap a gift with this irregular piece of fabric? That's easy: use a pair of scissors to cut the fabric into a square large enough to cover the whole gift (you'll need more fabric than you might imagine). Now, just put the gift in the middle of the square and bunch the fabric's four corners up in the middle. This is a very effective gift wrap idea for bottles. Use a bow in a contrasting color to tie the package. Voilá!
4. Crafty Wrap: Use good-old-fashioned gift-wrapping paper, but steer away from cheap gift wrap; it's usually too thin and of such poor quality that your gift will show right through. You'll come off as a cheapskate. You should also steer away from Christmas prints or anything that's just too prissy. We recommend you buy quality gift wrap paper that can be used for several different gift occasions and choose classic designs such as stripes, checks, polka dots, etc.....This video shows you gift wrap ideas using paper gift wrap:
5. Eco-Friendly Wrap: use newsprint paper. We've all done this at some point, because it really is a great idea! You can also substitute newsprint paper for an old map or last year's wall calendar. Just be careful when you're wrapping the gift and make sure to follow the steps outlined in the previous option. And, for the perfect finishing touch, make a flower or bow using old magazine scraps and stick it on the newsprint wrapping.
