5 Simple and Beautiful Wrapping Paper Ideas
1. Let’s Get Moody

Whoever said black is strictly for Halloween clearly didn’t see these presents. Grab some matte black paper and contrast it with sheer black ribbon. Just be sure to offset the moody color with a pop of green like some evergreen needles or holly!
2. Paper Straw Stars

This one is just too easy to pass up! How beautiful are those candy cane colors against that brown wrapping paper? All you need are some leftover paper bags from the grocery store, some paper straws, and some string! Cut the straws into the size you want your stars to be, then tie them together with the string.

We all remember waiting (im)patiently for our turn to open presents. That’s why we instantly fell in love with this simple, yet adorable wrapping paper idea! Give the kids something to do while they wait their turn—simply wrap their present in plain white paper, then tape some crayons on the front. Easy. Minimal. Effective.

Hate to wrap? You’re not alone! But here’s something that will cheer you up—now you have an excuse to ditch the extra (annoying) steps that come with having that perfectly-wrapped gift. Simply take some cloth of your choice, cut them so they cover the entire present, then tie them in a cute little bow!
5. Put A Bow On It!
You definitely didn’t need to go to art school to nail these pretty presents! Say goodbye to annoying bows (they always seem to fall off before Christmas, anyway!). Grab your black marker, some brown paper, and be on your merry way.
