Every year, I like my Christmas presents to match. I'm a little OCD. This year, I wanted to go very simple. My thought was to wrap all the boxes in plane matte white paper and then to adorn them with construction paper. I got the idea from
Real Simple, one of my favorite magazines. The other advantage is once the presents are wrapped the kids can help with the "adornment". Here is a gift we wrapped as a trial run. I basically used one color of construction paper, in this case green, made the bow and scattered dots and "flowers" around the paper with the glue stick (gotta love raiding your kids pencil box to complete projects!)
On this side, I "split" on of the flowers across the construction paper ribbon and added one little red dot, just because I could.
And finally, threw a red flower on top so it looked "Christmasy". (I don't actually think that is a word, but I'm gonna use it anyway)
I'm still waiting for the UPS man to deliver a few more boxes and then we will sit down and attack them all at once. I'll let you know how it turns out.
