“Brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things…” What better wrapping for Christmas presents?

Brown paper, paper doilies and string. Simple and pretty. I love that it gives a more handmade look to gift wrapping. I originally wanted to use brown jute string, but my mom already had this twine on hand, so I used it instead.

So simple and such a pretty alternative to store bought wrapping paper. Plus, a roll of brown paper, a package of doilies, and some string would only be a few dollars (my mom had them all on hand already). Inexpensive as well! Perfect!

Would also be great to do something similar with birthday or wedding present wrapping!
