Beautiful gift wrapping doesn’t need to be expensive – or boring. You can personalize a simple gift with some creative wrapping techniques. Here are a few of our favourites – just in time for Father’s Day…
1. Father’s Day gift-wrap apron:
This is a clever, cost effective way of combining two gifts into one and also adding a cool card:
We love using craft paper as wrapping paper (it’s cheap and environmentally friendly!), especially when it’s jazzed up with a bright ribbon or jute twine
This idea is from the Sew Many Ways blog

3. Chic black and whiteο»Ώ:

4. Newspaper, but not as you know it:
Whilst newspaper is a cheap and effective form of wrapping paper, you can make it look less ‘tight-arse’ with the addition of a beautiful trim such as this black and white ribbon. Image from May Arts.
Red is also a gorgeous contrast colour against black and white.

5. Stamps are back!
The good old craft paper has come in handy again when stamped with some old-school rubber stamps. You could also apply this idea to wrapping paper for other occasions (birthday, anniversary – whatever) and stamp the recipient’s name on the paper:
