How to Wrap Your Christmas Present for Dad
Decorque has some ideas for how to best wrap your Christmas present this year.
- Keep it natural – Adorn your gift with holly leaves or evergreen foliage to give your gift some rustic charm.
- Smart plaid patterns – plaid ribbon and tartan designs can give any Christmas gift a smart feel.
- Use old maps – this is a brilliant idea if your Dad is an avid traveler or map user. Simply buy a second-hand map, and use this as wrapping paper for a fun and simple way to make your wrapping paper more personal this year. Otherwise, you can find map wrapping paper online.
- Use old music sheets – If your dad is a fan of music, then why not mix it up with handmade music sheet gift paper? This will especially work well if you’re giving a music-themed gift.
