Christmas in July- Creative Gift Wrapping Ideas from A Creative Cookie

Have you entered to win The Crafter’s Prize Pack yet?
Hi there Bear Rabbit Bear Crafts readers! My name is Kate and I blog over at A Creative Cookie.
I am beyond excited to be here today!
I will be showing you four fun and unique ways to wrap your gifts. Perfect for Christmas! 

1. Characters

This is a fun way to dress up gifts for kids. Cut out pieces of cardstock to create fun faces and glue them to a solid-colored bag. Almost any character from movies, cartoons, books, etc. will work! Why not try Sesame Street Characters, Spongebob, animals, Muppets, or a smiley face? (tutorial here)

2. Washi Tape 
Use this colorful tape to dress up any present. You can buy it in the office section of Target, as well as here, here, here, here, here ANNNDD here!

3. Candy technique

This is one of my favorite ways to wrap presents. Instead of folding and taping up the sides, bunch up the excess wrapping paper and tie a ribbon around it. It looks like a giant piece of candy! Make sure to keep the ends long enough to tie.

4. Stamping
A perfect way to add interest to a boring box or bag is to stamp it. It’s such a simple but cute idea! If you don’t have any ink, you can also color the stamp with a washable marker instead.

Thank you so much to Melanie for letting me be on her blog today!
If you enjoyed this post I would absolutely love it if you’d stop by or visit me on Facebook! xo. Kate

    That cookie monster is adorable! Great reminders that you don’t have to spend a fortune on dressing up a gift in a fun way.
