Hi! It's Michelle again from Chalkboardblue. I'm excited to be sharing some ideas with Simple Kierste readers!

Today I wanted to share with you some fun and different ways you can accent simple gift wrap this Holiday Season!

When I set out to do this post, I challenged myself to use items that I would find around my house that would be fun accents to a gift. I did buy some things, but for the most part I was able to stick to my plan. I like to think a little outside the box when I do things. Accent items in a different way. So here are some ideas of what I came up with...

Embroidery Hoop and Pennants...

I like Kraft wrapping, you can do so many different things with it... A little bit of burlap and Ribbon cut into triangles.

Berry Picks made into a wreath. I made this little wreath, but candle stick wreaths would work too! Joy cut out of Vinyl and placed on a card envelope.

This features a Wood Buttons ornament. I cut NOEL out of vinyl and placed on a small sack to accent.

is always fun! Vinyl cut into chevron stripes and placed on the package. Christmas Subway art printed onto a tag. A vinyl 25 cut and placed on an envelope. Nylon cord to pull it all together...

To Give a Rustic Feel... A piece of Barn wood, a Card Catalog File Card with Merry Christmas printed on it. The card is actually nailed to the piece of Barn wood. Accented with some Mistletoe berries...

I really liked this one, I felt it was just so different and fun! You could hand write the recipients name on the card...

Merry Christmas in Vinyl placed right on the package...

For a more Whimsy feel, a small sack with some washi tape. I found some tape with numbers. I circled the 25 to represent Christmas. Taped a striped straw to the top and added a fun pennant.

A log slice with Peace cut out of vinyl and placed on it. Some pine cones and small bough.

Some Music Notes wrapped with Twine. A Doilie pinned to the twine with a clothespin and a Joy pennant to accent...

A simple wreath ornament placed on a package with the word NOEL cut in vinyl and placed...

I think this one is one of my favorites. A card label holder with Merry Christmas printed inside, placed on a piece of thin wood that is painted like barn wood. It is layered on burlap that is wrapped around book paper wrapping.
