Hello sweet friends! Today I am joining some lovely creatives for our monthly Pinterest Challenge. It is hosted by the fabulous friend Cindy of County Road 407. Today I am sharing Happy Golden Holiday Gift Wrap Ideas.
A Happy Golden Holiday Gift Wrap Ideas
If you are coming over from Cindy’s let me say welcome to Storybook Cottage! Didn’t you love her vintage inspired wrapping?
This holiday season everything that glitters is gold here at Storybook Cottage.
We are celebrating the 50th (golden) anniversary of Little House on the Prairie and our golden boy is graduating from college in just two weeks.
So let’s bring on the sparkle and shine!
In trying to reduce waste all of my gifts this year begin with some basic wrapping from recycled shopping bags.
I just love brown paper packages tied up in strings, don’t you?
Various scraps of crepe paper streamers were sewn and gathered together for some ruffled joy.
Small wooden stars recieved the glitter treatment on one side. The plain side allows for the recipients name to be written.
Two Gifts In One
I’ve been keeping an eye out for crocheted doilies at estate sales and thrifts shops.
I love the way they look like snowflakes when layered over the brown package.
Each person in our family is assigned a different color of ribbon. This makes for an easy delivery of gifts on Christmas morning.
Shopping Bag Stockings
This season we are invited to a few holiday gatherings. I always like to show up with a few gifts for the hostess.
These darling stockings are also made from recycled shopping bags.
They are so easy to make!
I show you step by step how to create them in this week’s video.
This Week’s Video
This week’s video also features how to create a gorgeous centerpiece with simple hedge and tree clippings as well as a reading of one of my favorite Chrismtas stories.
If you wish to view the video in a larger format just click on the black box in the lower left hand corner that says Watch on YouTube.
I’ll see you on Friday when I reveal this year’s mantel!
