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.

I featured these cute-as-anything bags in my recent harvest bags post which included a link for a tutorial.

These can be favors with one fabulous Christmas cookie inside or a handful of lovely melt-in-your-mouth chocolate. I am also using them as wrapping for gift cards surrounded by Hershey Kisses.

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

Merry Little Christmas: Too, Too Fun Wrapping Idea #8 with Printable

When I saw this gift-wrap idea, I immediately determined to try it myself. And what fun I had.

In fact, I had so much fun that I decided to have even more.

So, I created this:

Since I can only draw smiley faces and clouds, my husband sketched the tree branches for me. But I added the drops of red paint for the berries and then the snow flakes using a white Sakura Pen-touch pen.

The font for the two cards is Jane Austen which can be downloaded for free here.

The lovely winter birds printable can also be used for tags and little paper ornaments.

And there you have it: too, too fun wrapping idea #8.

So Many Thanks Printable Harvest Card

It’s the season of giving thanks, and this provides an opportunity for us to remember those who have blessed us.

So, how about this printable harvest card to write a note letting someone you love know how thankful you are for him or her? I got a huge deal on Michaels note cards and envelopes, so I printed a bunch. I have a lot of wonderful people in my life!

And then, to make it more fun, print out this confetti, cut it, and slip a handful into the envelope.

Such a lovely way to say Thank You during the Thanksgiving season.

Wishing you blessings galore during this harvest season.
