A Very Vintage Christmas:
Gift Wrapping

Last night, I went down on Main Street in Saint Charles
for their Christmas Traditions,
where all of Main Street is lit up and decorated for Christmas.

And so,
I have finally started to get into the
“Christmas Spirit”.

And as such, I thought I would share how
I wrap my Christmas presents
in a sort of “vintage” way.

Before I start wrapping presents,
I put my Bing Crosby Christmas vinyl record on my turntable.
I personally can’t take too much Christmas music,
but it is one of my traditions to listen to this album
at least once during the Christmas season
since I was first given my record player
as a Christmas gift years ago.

First of all,
I use brown craft paper to wrap all of my presents.
The good thing about this is that it is
much cheaper
than your typical wrapping paper.
I am able to buy this paper from the dollar store.

Secondly,
I use masking tape instead of regular Scotch tape.
I personally like the look of this tape better than the more typical option.
I do not know how it compares in price –
I just always have a roll lying around.

And thirdly,
once I have wrapped the gift,
I tie it with twine.

I personally like to use twine
because it makes the present look like
a vintage parcel.

However, you can feel free to dress it up in any way you choose.

In the end, you will have a beautiful package.

Would you ever choose to wrap presents in this fashion?
