brown paper packages tied up with string...

gifts

A couple years ago I used brown grocery bags and leftover bits of yarn for my Christmas gift wrap. I thought I'd post the picture in case anyone is looking for a cute, quick and ridiculously inexpensive way to wrap Christmas presents. [I used this yarn pom tutorial].

Every time I see that photo, it reminds me of the song and I start to hear Julie Andrews in my head. I hope you have a magical Christmas filled with your favorite things, and more importantly, your favorite people!

  1. I have been singing that song all week - I happen to have a roll of craft paper and twine that I've been using to wrap all of my gifts. I might have to try some pompoms, though - they look divine! Have a wonderful Christmas!

  3. I've been wrapping this year in left-over butcher paper from a photo shoot I did earlier this year, and a skien of that funky ribbony yarn. It's such a great look- LOVE IT! ;-)

  4. You aren't the first bloggy friend who has mentioned "brown paper packages, tied up with string" in the last week. : ) I would love to jump on the band-wagon, but my presents for this are all wrapped up, and I'm not about to re-wrap them. Maybe next year...

    (p.s. LOVE the pom-poms.)

  8. This is great. I wrapped all my gifts with recycled items last year and plan to do it again this year. Thanks for the pom pom idea!

  9. I love the look of packages wrapped in something simple. I started making the yarn poms last year and used them on the packages I mailed to family... so much cheaper than a bunch of ribbon and prettier!
