How to Wrap a Gift Creatively. DIY Tag and Wrap Ideas

Fun and Creative Ideas for Wrapping and Tagging Christmas Presents, Birthday Gifts and more.

Gift giving is no longer just about the present inside, is it? No way, the wrapping and presentation of that special gift is almost as important these days.

Sure, there are lots of pretty and colorful store bought paper and tags but why not do something a little more special and fun?

So, I went in search of unique and creative ways for wrapping and tagging your presents that go beyond the norm from hand sewn gift bags to homemade wrapping papers.

There is even a special gift wrap idea for kids that is super cool. The first section is all about the wrapping. You can find the DIY gift tags at the bottom of the post.
