When the holidays come around, I live on Pinterest and detach from reality. Usually I'm content to pin a thousand wrapping paper schemes and leave it at that, but this year -- in a fit of festive feeling -- it was time to try my hand at it myself.
I'm an unspeakably huge fan of plain brown paper -- it's neutral and inoffensive and can be dressed up in a million different moods just by tweaking a small detail (a bow or some twine here, a tag there).
My other weaknesses: black ribbon, gold and silver accents, and sweeping, elegant typography.
Everything was given a giant ribbon bow as a topper. Naturally.
The finished products, when arranged under the tree, look understated and a little rustic. Nothing to overwhelm your holiday decor here.
