Brown Wrapping Paper Roll

Maybe you think plain brown wrapping paper is boring. But maybe you're also buried under a wrapping paper roll avalanche every time you open the door to your craft closet. Because you need all 50 rolls, right? You bought the one with the dancing candles for birthdays, the pink baby bonnet one for baby showers, the silver wrap for anniversaries ... Except we're here to tell you that you don't need all 50. Actually, you don't need any of them. With plain brown paper and a few creative hacks you can make fabulous custom gift wraps for every occasion.

1. Tie it up

Tie ribbon, raffia, twine, yarn, leftover holiday garlands or any else that inspires you around a gift wrapped in brown paper, or a plain brown box. If you really want to fancy it up, do what the pros do and layer. For example, use both raffia and twine. The more creative you are about what you tie around your gift, the more impressed they’ll be.

2. Top it off

Upcycle leftover party favors by taping them to the top of your gifts. Make it even more festive by attaching them with decorative tapes.

If you’ve got confetti or glitter handy, swipe glue across the paper and sprinkle some on top. Brush off the excess and voila: a fast and fun alternative to the usual ribbon.

4. Write it out

If all else fails grab a sharpie and pen a quick sentiment, or create a custom birthday drawing or pattern.
