I love wrapping presents.
\nIt’s kind of therapeutic.
\n(And justifies those 5 rolls of IKEA wrapping paper I just had to buy?\u00a0 Totally.)
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nBut I gotta admit, I’m slightly bummed when a really darling wrap-job is opened cause then the cuteness is gone.\u00a0 And replaced with a fun gift, I know.\u00a0 I guess we always have photos to capture the moment.
\nBut….
\nWhy not let it last all month?
\nOn your door.
\nOr wall.
\nOr closet.
\nWherever.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI saw this in magazine years ago (before pinterest)….probably in Martha Stewart Living?\u00a0 And I always meant to figure it out.
\nToday I did!\u00a0 I love how 3-D it looks on our front door:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThere are so many ways you can go with this.\u00a0 All-red gifts with white bows, all white gifts with blue bows.\u00a0 Yada, yada. I actually think my wreath is too “busy” and was moments away from re-wrapping the boxes with solid colored papers till a friend knocked on the door and said, “I like your wreath! I may have to try that…”
\nSo we’ll stick with it for this year.<\/p>\n

Now grab your favorite papers and let’s get wreath-wrapping.
\n(all papers below are from IKEA, except for the gray with trees…that’s from Target 2 years ago)
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFirst you need a wreath base.\u00a0 Use whatever you like for this.\u00a0 Buy one, make one, it doesn’t matter.
\nYou really want something flat though so the boxes aren’t sticking out too far.\u00a0 I made mine from a cardboard box lid….Pizza boxes would be be perfect.
\n\u2022 Trace a large circle
\n\u2022 Trace or draw another smaller circle inside, like a donuthole
\n\u2022 Carefully cut out both circles, trying not to bend the cardboard.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nYou can leave the cardboard as-is but the edges are kind of jagged and un-lady like.
\nSo I dressed mine up with felt fabric.
\n\u2022 Cut long strips of white felt
\n\u2022 Glue the first strip to the back of the wreath with a hot glue gun, wrap, and continue till the whole wreath is covered.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nTa-da.
\nYou could use this base for so many wreaths.\u00a0 Add jingle bells, pom poms, bows, ornaments, etc.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOkay. Boxes.
\nYou can buy little jewelry ones but you might actually have some lying around your house.\u00a0 I didn’t realize it till I scrounged my cupboards.\u00a0 Jello boxes, bandaids, etc…gather little (empty) boxes like that.\u00a0 Arrange them on the wreath till you have enough boxes and you like how it looks.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThen start wrapping!\u00a0 Remove one box at a time so you keep them in their proper place.\u00a0 Wrap, tie with ribbons, re-arrange if needed.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nUse a hot glue gun to attach each box to the wreath.
\nThen tie a bow or string to the top of the wreath for haning (I used braided twine) and you’re done!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n(Quality control Inspection)
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nPassed!
\nMerry Christmas.
