I enjoy wrapping gifts for my kids, I imagine their excitement when they see them. Since I was a child I loved building things and creating things so I decided that I would create some fun gift wrappings and I have to tell you my kid’s eyes just lighted up when they saw these. To create a fun gift wrap you don’t have to spend a lot of money or time, all you need is a little creativity, let your imagination run wild and have some fun with your gift wrapping.
I started off with a very festive and fun reindeer. All you need for this is a roll of kraft paper, white printer paper, a pice of cardboard (I cut up a box), red and black card stock, a black marker, a pair of scissors, tape and glue.
First you warp your box in brown Kraft paper. Then cut the cardboard box to make the antlers and ears. Trace the eyes and mouth on the white card stock, then trace the nose and tongue on the red card stock, trace the eyebrows on the black card stock and cut. Use the marker and to add details to the eyes, mouth and ears. Glue the antlers on the top of the box and the ears on the sides. I used a glue gun. Then using a glue stick glue the eyes, nose, mouth and eyebrows on the front of the box. This came out super cute and I know that my kids will be so surprised by the wrapping.
My son loves robots and monster trucks so inspired by what he loves I created these two wrapping ideas. For the robot I used two boxes wrapped in different colors, since this is a Christmas present we chose red and green but this would also look great with other colors or with silver. For the eyes, antenna and the gear panel in the front we used white card stock and marker and for the hands and feet I used cardboard from an old box.
The monster truck themed gift wrap was the easiest. For this one I just wrapped the box in kraft paper, crumpled some additional kraft paper to make it look like a rugged, mountainous terrain and placed a little monster truck on it. I have to admit that the open front box for this toy was ideal for this.

That is so cute, I want to try this out for my kids gifts. I think it is easy enough that I can do it.
So far I have not spend anything on wrapping presents. I saved those brown paper that comes in the packages and I used it to wrap my kids’ presents. I will have to add a little bit of something though, but at least didn’t have to spend a bunch on wrappers. These are cute though!
These ideas are super cute! I love getting all frilly with my holiday wrapping as well, but I do limit it to my parents and grandparents. I have way to many nieces and nephews would take me a year to do this for all of them. lol But I do LOVE IT!!
This is so cool and very creative in giving presents to kids 🙂
That is such a great idea, how fun!
that is so cute ilove how the truck looks to be off road driving
