It’s the holiday season and, before you know it, the time for exchanging gifts will be here.  I know you’ve probably got a lot on your to-do list right about now, so let me help with a few easy gift-wrapping ideas!  With your presents looking this good, no one will ever know about your frenzied last-minute shopping….

Gift tags are super easy to make and are a great way to use up leftover linen scraps!

I just grabbed my pinking shears to cut the edges in decorative ways.

I then used fabric glue to attach different colors of linen together.  A hot glue gun also works well.  Be sure to just use a touch of glue so it doesn’t seep through.

I used a permanent marker to write the names of the gift’s recipient.  I’m sure anyone will be pleased you spent just a few extra minutes to make their gift tag!  It is a small, but sweet gesture.

Gift Wrap:

Cover your plain, boring box.  Use linen instead of paper to wrap your presents. Why not?! It looks great and makes your gift look extra special.

All you need a piece of linen that will fit around your gift box.  I like to tie the ends of the linen together to seal it all or use some ribbon to hold everything together!

You can even decorate with your handmade gift tags!  Try different colors of linen too.  There are so many options that you can really get creative.
