Using this free download<\/a> you can inexpensively (and easily) wrap gifts for the holidays. Check out this tutorial<\/a> for how you can make these tags out of brown paper grocery bags. Also see below for a tutorial on how to tie up your gifts a little differently.<\/p>\n

I love twine! Wrapping like this is easy I used old paper from Anthropologie that was used to wrap up some bowls I purchased. Here is a little photo tutorial on how to tie your gifts like this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wrap some twine around the front of your gift and then flip it over.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Twist the twine together until it you have around two inches of twisted fiber then split the twine and wrap it back around the front of the gift.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once your gift is facing forward tie off the twine and tuck in a tag and a little something natural to add to the look. I used a dried leaf that I spray painted. Which I will be posting a tutorial for later in the week.<\/p>\n
