Decorate and upcycle a boring gift box: here's 8 easy ideas!

Can you believe it’s November already? I sure can’t! 

While I’m trying to remember to breathe (!!) and tackle one thing at a time, versus running around like a nut trying to get everything done at once, I’m starting to plan ahead for the upcoming holidays.

I’ll be sharing lots of holiday-themed posts here on the blog throughout November and December, to hopefully inspire you and maybe give you an idea or two or three.

With that in mind, let’s talk about creative gift wrapping. Easy ideas. 

You know those boring cardboard gift boxes? Those small-ish ones? I decided to paint one of them, and then decorated the box 8 different ways. And I ended up giving myself some ideas for gift wrapping, well in advance this year!

You can see how I painted the box (it was super-easy and super-quick) plus all of the simple decorating variations in my weekly contributor post over at Deja Vue Designs.

Happy crafting!

Pet Scribbles is where I share my craft tutorials, home and garden projects, and occasional stories about my cats. I can never have enough pretty craft paints to work with, and I love to make things look time-worn with distressing and aging. Gardening is my therapy!
