The Holidays are coming, and they're coming fast. Which means shopping, cooking, baking, decorating... and on December 24th, a late night of wrapping. And wrapping. And wrapping. But wrapping gifts doesn't have to be stressful! Here are a few easy gift wrap ideas that you can use to dress up even the most plain package!

Simple ways to dress up a plain package for Christmas gifts and presents

Wrap your packages with plain craft paper. You can buy rolls in the gift wrap department or sometimes get plain paper at a craft store or even hardware stores in the paint section. You can decorate the paper itself for homemade gift wrap as this tutorial shows, but don't ignore the extras in the wrapping process. Dress up your packages with these simple tips!
