Wrapping with Kraft Paper

Brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things. 

Just like the song says, kraft paper wrapped packages are one of my favorite things. The simplicity and beauty of brown wrapping paper leaves room for a lot of creative ways to decorate your holiday gifts. You can pick up a roll of kraft paper in the office supply section of Target (near the packing tape and envelopes). It is a bit more expensive then a roll of wrapping paper but I can promise you that there is ALOT more on the roll.

I picked up some bells at the Joanne Fabrics and added them to a lot of the packages. The sound made it fun to hand out the gifts and were the perfect addition to to the fabric ribbon that tied them all up.

Earlier this month I received the opportunity to test out Darby Smart’s new gift wrap kit and when I heard it was going to include kraft paper I knew I needed to give it a go. The package arrived in just a few days and I wrapped up a small gift to give it ago.

My favorite part of this kit is the designer created tags. Each one has a different look and style making it the perfect tool for personalizing each package to match its recipient. It also included a roll of twine, washi tape, a silver pen, and a few wooden tags. It was a fun kit to receive, but honestly you can buy all the same items a lot less at the store.

If you want to check it out – these Darby Smart Sets are available at Gap now through the holidays.
