This year I opted for black Kraft paper, twine, white ribbon, sprigs of green and a few other adornments (miniature paperclips, burlap tree tags, tin ornaments). The black paper can be a bit intimidating, and a tad un-Christmas like, but there’s something I love about the deep green of the fresh sprigs cut from our tree against the black paper. I think it gives the gift an effortless look that’s both classy and rustic.
The great thing about Kraft paper is you can spruce it up however you like. A metallic paint pen (or chalkboard pen) can be use to write to/from, rubber stamps can add details and designs, or you might choose a patterned washi tape over the standard clear to add more color.
The burlap bags pictured above are perfect for small treasures. They can be found at Michael’s.
Enjoy!
