Decorating With Wrapping Paper

I love easy decor ideas (especially during the holiday season!). I recently came up with a few really easy ideas to decorate my home using just wrapping paper and items I already had on hand. Decorating with wrapping paper is so easy and the patterns and colors are endless!

My approach to holiday decorating is pretty much like my approach to everything else, keep it simple but make a statement (like decorating with cranberries). I love simple DIY ideas that just make something so much better. Case in point: turning plain white serving trays into festive holiday serving trays just buy adding some festive wrapping paper.

A great quality wrapping paper with a fun modern print is the only new holiday decor item I need this season. You can do so many things with it, the DIY Christmas decorations are almost endless. As for the paper itself, I am in love with Minted's new line of wrapping paper. The designs are modern, festive and unique and the quality is amazing. Good bye shiny, thin gift wrap. My favorite designs are the handdrawn herringbone, berry kraft, and on the grid (which you can customize with your own photos, see below!).

 Another simple way to use wrapping paper as holiday decor is to swap out the photos in your current picture frames with your own favorite wrapping paper designs. It will give your mantle or wall a whole new (and very festive) look.

I love that we could add our family photos to the design as well. This was the perfect wrapping paper to use above the fireplace! Of course you can wrap gifts with the paper too.

More Ideas for Decorating with Wrapping Paper

• Use as a holiday table runner
• Cut strips and make a countdown paper chain
• Wrap a strip around a loaf of bread for neighbor gifts (like I did here)

I hope this idea helps you add thoughtful touches this holiday season!
