Gift Wrapping Ideas With Brown Paper

Brown paper is one of my favorite things to use when wrapping gifts, there are so many ways to change it up and create really unique packages.

Simple Brown Paper Gift Wrapping:

Brown paper is a great inexpensive gift wrapping idea, especially if you are like me and not a fan of bright printed paper. For this look, we wrapped a package in a brown paper and then added 5 strands of raffia to one end of the gift, and then taped a fresh piece of greenery to the top of the package.

Baker’s Twine Brown Paper Gift Wrapping:

Cut a long piece of bakers twine, twist it around your package until you run out of string. Tie it off and add a sprig of greenery and a candy cane. This is really simple and yet gives your package a beautiful look.

Brown Paper & Cookie Cutter Gift Wrapping:

This look is really similar to the last one except we exchanged the greenery and candy cane for a cinnamon stick and star cookie cutter. This is a great one if your gift is for a foodie.

Gingerbread Cookie Cutter Brown Paper Gift Wrapping:

This is my favorite brown paper gift wrapping ideas, this is super simple to create and just has that Farmhouse feel we love here at Rosevine Cottage. We used baker’s twine and wrapped it around the gift, strung it through the cookie-cutter then continued wrapping it and tied it in a bow.

Baker’s Twine & Greenery Gift Wrapping:

Another great way to use baker’s twine in your gift wrapping is creating a pattern like this, two rows along the length of the package and three up the width of the package. Tape a piece of greenery over the intersecting lines.

Baker’s Twine With A Wreath Gift Wrapping Idea:

This is a really simple gift wrapping idea, simple wrap the center of your gift with baker’s twin forming x’s in the center. Add a small wreath to the center and you are done.

Baker’s Twine Bow & Cedar Sprig:

This is a really cute gift wrapping idea for your packages, we used a really long piece of bakers twine that we folded 4-5 times and then wrapped around the gift. Add a piece of greener to the top by sliding the end under the twine.

A quick and easy variation of this look would be to add a candy cane to the top of the package instead of the greenery. This is such a cute gift wrapping idea.

Red & Cream Ribbon With Greenery Wreath Package:

For a simple and yet classic look, place a wide ribbon over the end of your package and place a small wreath on top. We bought this ribbon at Walmart to go with our Farmhouse look this Christmas

Christmas Ribbon  & Brown Paper Gift Wrapping idea:

Another great gift wrapping idea is to wrap a beautiful ribbon around the bottom of your package and then add a simple wreath to the center. We made this out of a spring of greenery from our yard by tying the ends together with raffia.

White Paper & Burlap Ribbon Gift Wrapping Idea:

This is a really simple and yet beautiful look, white paper is our other favorite Christmas paper to work with because you can really do so much for it. For this look, we added a simple bow made of burlap ribbon. Quick simple and yet beautiful.

Baker’s Twine & Burlap Ribbons:

This is easily one of my favorite gift wrapping looks we did, I love the elegant simplicity of it. For this look, we used homemade wrapping paper, paired with a simple brown and red ribbon over the width of the package and then used the baker’s twine to secure the small wreath to the center of the package going lengthwise. This creates a beautiful layering effect that will look amazing under the tree.

Yarn & Greenery Gift Wrapping Ideas:

This is another really easy to pull of gift wrapping idea, especially if you are short on time. Simple white paper, with yarn wrapped around one end, and a few springs of garland

Yarn With Wreath Gift Wrapping:

This is a variation of the idea above, but instead of the sprig of greenery, we added a small wreath instead. This is a great way to keep symmetry under your tree while keeping each one unique in their own way.

Yarn With A Piece Of Cedar Tree:

Yet another unique variation of this gift wrapping idea, using a piece of cedar tree instead. This is my favorite one of the three.

Homemade Wrapping Paper With Yarn:

This is a great example of keeping your presents resembling each other and yet unique at the same time. For this look, we wrapped string around the end of the package at equal intervals, and then slipped a bit of a cedar tree branch under the string.

Another variation of the package above is to replace the cedar tree piece with a simple green wreath. This is a really simple and elegant look gift wrapping idea for under your tree.

Another variation that creates a beautiful layering effect that will make it stand out from the crowd is to do the same thing with the yarn but this time add a big piece of greenery to the top of your package.

One final variation for this look is to add a piece of a cedar tree and a candy cane to the top for a simple and beautiful look.
