Yesterday I shared some tips for creating a holiday gift wrap theme and today I’m back to show you the fun ways I embellished my gifts.

I am always on the hunt for unique pieces to top my gifts with. This year my collection of goodies include vintage jewelry, a cardboard coaster, a tassel and hand-made bows.  Plus my favorite holly leaf craft embellishment, glittered leaves, a small picture frame and honeycomb balls.  All of these pieces I’ve picked up in bargain bins, found at craft stores or scored at Scott’s Antique Market.

I’ve been asked a lot about my process for wrapping gift and it’s pretty straight forward.  First I wrap all the boxes in paper and then comes the ribbon. Some boxes get a single ribbon and with others I layer the ribbon.  The final touch is adding  the perfect embellishment to each box.

Here’s a look at some of my wrapped gifts and the formula for each gift wrap combination.

I added a small glitter ornament to this handmade bow Instead of a center loop.

I bought this silver ribbon from Costco a couple of years ago and just love it.

The mini bottle brush tree came from Target and the pom pom yarn is from Hobby Lobby. Yarn makes a great ribbon substitute.

For the gift below I made a simple paper band and hand-lettered the Mr. Confetti’s name on it.  Then I tucked a sprig of greenery under the band.  This is a simple and elegant way to embellish a gift without spending a lot of money.

The pink pom pom tassel is from Hobby Lobby and it comes in other colors.

I found this beautiful embroidered appliqué at an antique store a few months ago. I’m using it on a gift for my mom.  I attached it to the box top using small pieces of double-sided tape.

Mini honeycomb balls can be found here. And I’ve also seen them at Michael’s.  You can make pom pom using this pom pom maker.

Silver glitter leaves are from The Ribbon Roll.

If wrapping boxes isn’t your thing, you can use these same ideas to embellish paper gift bags.  A few inexpensive accessories is all you need to create fun & festive holiday gifts.  Happy wrapping friends!

T-minus 5 days and counting until Christmas. 

The Christmas shopping is all done and boxes have been shipped.  Things are starting to settle down around here and that has given me a chance to get most of my holiday gifts wrapped.

I love wrapping gifts and it was so much fun this year to coordinate my gift wrap with my holiday tartan plaid theme.

Here’s a look at my 2014 Holiday Gift Wrap and a few tips that will help you put the finishing touches on your own gifts.
