Creative Gift Wrapping Ideas

Fun and creative gift wrapping ideas for special gifts.

Sometimes it’s fun or important to use creative gift wrapping ideas.

Gift Wrap with Recycled Christmas Cards

For “green” wrapping ideas, try using gift wrap with recycled Christmas cards. It’s a great way to reuse some of those greeting cards you’ve been collecting.

Santa Triangle Box

This very easy Santa triangle box is decorated to look like Santa. It’s easy to change the size… before folding the box, the paper length is 3 times the width.

Pillow Box Santa

I love this cute pillow box Santa. Even if you don’t have all the special tools used, you could easily replicate it with scissors.

Reindeer Gift Bag

Attach a reindeer cutout from a Christmas card to a gift bag made from an envelope, or  brown lunch bag to make a reindeer gift bag.

Reindeer Gift Bag

Another cute reindeer gift bag that uses construction paper and a red pompom.

Reindeer Bags

Quick to make, you draw the reindeer body on the reindeer gift bag and add a head and antlers.

Rudolph Treat Box

This Rudolph treat box would be pretty easy to replicate without the specialized tools. Pompoms always make great Rudolph noses!

Snowman Gift Bag

This snowman gift bag is made with a white paper bag and scraps of cardstock.

Snowman Gift Jars

Decorate mason jars or recycled jars to look like these snowman gift jars.

Snowman Treat Box

Plan ahead to make this snowman treat box, but it can be re-used. You need a round box and styrofoam balls.

House Gift Bag

This house gift bag is made from a brown paper bag, and is really cute. It’s fairly simply created with cardstock and markers, as well as the lunch bag.

Christmas House Bag

See this festive Christmas house bag made with a red lunch size bag.

Board Game Gift Box

I love this idea for using an old board game to make a board game gift box.

Button Gift Wrap

Attach a button (or different sized buttons) to cork. Dip in paint and stamp plain wrapping paper, brown paper bags, butcher paper, or tissue paper to make button gift wrap.

Unusual Gift Wraps Made with Recyclables

Check out this site for some really unusual gift wraps using lots of recyclables. Some of my favorites are:

Car Wrap

Recycled-bottle Lilly Wrap

Autumn Leaves Wrap

And here’s a link to his Wrap Art gallery.

Yule Log Gift Wrap

This fun Yule log gift wrap needs a little paint – and I would use brown, as it is a more authentic color.
