"As we give presents at Christmas, we need to recognize that sharing our time and ourselves is such an important part of giving." ~ Gordon B. Hinckley
Christmas time is not just about receiving presents. There is so much joy in giving presents as well. With that in mind, there is even more satisfaction with the presentation. This year, with some "Pinspiration" ... I decide to get a little more creative with my gift wrapping.

The hustle and bustle of the holidays, brings a warm fuzzy feeling inside, that can quickly turn into the tingling of anxiety and panic. Especially when it comes to gift wrapping. If you follow these quick and easy steps throughout one week, you are guaranteed not to stress.
Day 1 - wrap all the gifts with wrapping paper.
Day 2 - make the yarn balls (see instructions below)
Day 3 - attach yarn poms to gifts
Day 4 - Make gift tags
Day 5 - attach gift tags and wreath to gifts.
Supplies Needed:
Roll of brown packaging paper
Two bundles of yarn (knitting section of Michaels) for fuller yarn puffs use a thicker yarn
Glitter wreaths or decor of choice (found these at Walmart $3 for a pack of 20)
Green Card Stock
Mini Doily
Gold Thickers (found in sticker section at Michaels)
To make the yarn poms:
If you google "yarn pom pom tutorial", tons of sites are available. I like this one the best:
To make gift tags:
Using a circle punch, cut the card stock
Using double sided tape, stick the doily onto the card stock
Then, using the stickers, write out the name or a holiday word such as Joy, Noel, etc.
