How to create a beautiful gift wrap station

How to create a beautiful gift wrap station during the holidays is both decoration and useful. We often need to wrap a small gift just as we head out the door. Who has time to get out all the supplies for wrapping one gift?

A beautiful gift wrap station will make wrapping all your gifts a joy! This gift wrap station uses things you already have to display your bits and bobs, supplies, and papers.

Gather some small bowls, jars, and use items that you already have

What type of gift wrap do you prefer?

Rustic and Natural

I always go for the rustic, natural gift wrap, which works beautifully with my home; that’s all in neutrals.

Choose Lots of Colors

If your home is full of color, create a gift wrap station that reflects your home decor. There are many options for adding pastels or bright colors to gift wrap.

Pick three colors from your home interior.

My sister’s home in Arizona is deep red, indigo, and all shades of blue with creamy neutrals. Her wraps are always in those colors. She may start with kraft paper and add some gorgeous navy velvet ribbon and a terracotta tag tied with jute or raffia twine.

Why creating a beautiful gift wrap station works!

Think about how often you must wrap a gift before dropping by a friend’s house right before the holidays. Or when you have a spare 20 minutes before needing to pick up the kids after school, having a gift wrap station at the ready will make it so easy to wrap up a few gifts in a few minutes!

It’s creative and fun to have a beautiful gift wrap station. I’ve always had one leading up to the holidays, and I have loved seeing my kids sit down and really enjoy wrapping their gifts. They get so creative! They use things in ways that I never thought to do!

Make it a social event with a few friends.

Invite a few friends over to wrap gifts. Have them bring some of their smaller gifts, have coffee or wine and a few nibbles, and get creative together! What better way to connect with friends during the holidays? Socializing and productivity, win-win!
