Well, hello Two Days Before Christmas! How’d you get here so friggin’ fast? Josh and I are actually hanging out with our families in our home town this week, but I just had to squeeze in one more quick post for any last-minute holiday stragglers out there!
If you’ve still got gift wrapping on the to-do list, then I’ve got one more super-quick and cute way to wrap ‘em up! Yarn!
This is the method we used to wrap all of our gifts this year and I just love the way the yarn looks paired with the kraft paper! Plus, it ties in quite nicely with our “crafty Christmas” theme.
Literally, all you need is yarn! 
The three main ‘designs’ I did were tassels, poms, and just plain wrapped.
- Tassels: You can use our own Yarn Tassel Ornament tutorial! Just skip the ornament part and attach it to your present.
- Poms: I like this pom-pom tutorial from A Beautiful Mess. These take a little longer to make, but the result is like a huge dollop of cuteness right on top of your box.
- Plain wrapped: No tutorial here. Just start at one end and wrap and wrap and wrap criss-crossing directions as you go. This works especially great for small boxes and “manly” gifts.
To finish them off, I used a gold sharpie and small white note cards to make gift tags. I just slid them right under the yarn. Easy-peasy!
So, be honest! What’s still on your to-do list??
