Wrapping with fabric has been one of my favorite too, too fun wrapping projects. This box was wrapped like swaddling a baby in a blanket. I used torn strips of random Christmas fabric to wrap around the blanketed gift, leaving a pocket to slip in a Christmas card.

I wrapped this gift with a silk scarf. You can check out this video with a brief tutorial on how easy it is to create this lovely holiday gift wrap with built-in pocket for a card.

OR– instead of a card, how about slipping in a picture the recipient will treasure? That’s two gifts in one!

And there you have it: too, too fun wrapping idea #13.

Oh, the fun that can be had with these Christmas Font Tags. I’ll explain how I created them in my next post.

 And there you have it: too, too fun wrapping idea #12.

I wrapped this box with music scrapbook paper that I got at Michaels for 17 cents a sheet.

Then the ripping-fabric-fun began. Don’t you like the frayed-edges look?

 I wrapped this next gift in Dollar Tree kraft paper. For the ribbon, I ripped strips of  black Christmas fabric.

The printable gift tag (here ) added a lovely final touch.

And there you have it: too, too fun wrapping idea #11.

I suddenly realized that my pre-decorating ideas all involved small boxes or bags. Hmmm…what about those larger gifts that won’t fit into pre-wrapped cereal boxes???

Aha! A grocery bag will work just fine and dandy, thank you very much.

I take cloth totes when I grocery shop, so Wegmans will give me a few grocery bags–print-free and beautifully flat and unwrinkled–if I ask for them.

For Wrapping Idea#9 I used:

This printable: Away in A Manger

Black and red paper for matting the print

Adhesive

Hole punch for ribbon

Ripped Christmas fabric to slip through the punched holes and then tie into a bow
