#1 Plastic Tablecloth Pom-Poms
We have been loving plastic table cloths to use for gift wrap because
it is so inexpensive and unbelievably versatile. Our favorite use is
making big pom poms to adorn a simple package. For DIY see below…

#2 Flowers and Greenery
Our second idea is using silk flowers and greenery. We love to buy
pretty fake flowers and greenery when they are on sale and clearance at
the craft store. One bunch will go a long way, and will make any
ordinary wrapping extra special. Super easy and very pretty!

#3 Headbands
There are so many cute headbands and hair clips everywhere lately
that are too cute to put inside a gift box! Any chance we get, our
little girl presents will be topped with a pretty headband. Nothing
beats wrapping that is functional too!

I struggle with creatively wrapping gifts sometimes, so I really enjoyed this post! Perfect for wedding season.
Suppose Anything Goes
This is adorable! Sometimes I like the wrapping better than the actual gift. Super cute!
Hi Kirsten,
This is so cute! I knew how to make paper pom poms but I never thought of make it with plastic. It will be nice for outdoors decoration packages on christmas.
I think that to match your pom poms colour you can make your own wrapping paper. http://www.abrandmadeofglitter.com/diy/make-your-own-wrapping-paper/
I do it all the time!
Cheers
style is very beautiful and caught my attention
