If you are a dab hand at wrapping, then beautiful, shiny wrapping paper, ribbons and bows can make a present look almost too good to touch… But I’ve never been that elegant, and I always find it best to keep things simple.
This year I have decided to go with the ever popular brown packaging paper and white string. I fits in perfectly with my rustic theme.
I spent hours in hobby craft gazing at the beautiful gift tags, before I decided to ditch the unnecessary frills, and instead chose a big pack of plain, cream coloured, cartridge gift tags.
I used my developing calligraphy skills to personalise the gifts, with a nice red ink to add a little festivity, and I am really happy with the results. I think it looks lovely alongside the wrapping paper. For those of you who are interested, I used a wide nibbed calligraphy pen and gothic textura quadrata script.

This is what I envisioned my wrapping paper to look like! One day 🙂
