I want to start by wishing everyone a Happy and Joyous Christmas Eve! This time of year always makes me feel so happy and thankful for all my loved ones. I hope everyone is able to spend the holidays with the people they love.
This year I created a Crafty Christmas for our home. Brown paper packages tied up with string… Gifts were wrapped in craft paper with festive bows and string. I love wrapping presents. I’m all over it this season. I think I bought around 8 new rolls of ribbon to a already large collection. Would you call that an addiction?
I love the look of craft paper. It is versatile and classic. A pretty ribbon will make the craft paper stand out, or instead of a ribbon you can use string or, my favorite, baker’s twine. Use craft paper as a belly wrap for colorful and patterned gift wrap. Out of handle bags? Put your gifts in a brown lunch bag with some festive stamps on the front. Complete your look by using washi tape. Come in as I take you into our home for the holidays.
I wanted the tree to have a similar look so I decorated it with burlap, raffia ornaments, and glittery ornaments. Find more pictures of our tree on Instagram! #RaittTree
