Since we travel away from our home for Christmas I do not wrap presents until I get to North Carolina. Easier to pack and you don't have to worry about squishing anything or ruining wrapping paper. I did manage though to make it here without my any other wrapping supplies except my kraft paper! However, I made it work with the the materials that were on hand and I borrowed some ribbon!
Pinterest was FULLLL of inspiration for this project .. check out some of my favorite's below!

When I saw the thumbprint reindeer and Christmas lights I knew I had to make them! So I ended up using markers to color my thumb and creating both of these looks for the kids packages. These are my absolute favorite .. love how they turned out!
I was also a big fan of the gift tags also made from kraft paper. I simply drew myself a template and cut out enough for each of my gifts. I decided to use first initials so I drew those on my gift tags and attached them to the packages using ribbon.
For the rest of my packages I used an assortment of some of the ideas above .. and a few not pictured. I added ribbon, pieces of regular wrapping paper, paint to make polka dots, and snowflakes. The snowflakes were so easy to make .. I just followed these instructions:
And here is how they all turned out:
My hubby says I spent way too much time .. but it was fun!
Merry Christmas!
