Hi Live, Laugh, Rowe readers! I’m so glad Kelly invited me to be here with you today. I’m Bre and I blog over at Brepurposed where you can find tons of furniture transformations as well as inspiring DIY and free printables!

 Now I know it’s not even Thanksgiving but you’re going to be wrapping presents before you know it and today I’ll be sharing with you a fun way to personalize those gifts:  DIY Rustic Christmas Wrapping.

DIY Rustic Christmas Wrapping using flannel fabric, stain, feather and MORE!!  By Bre Purposed for www.livelaughrowe.comAs soon as it starts getting chilly outside, one of my favorite pieces of clothing to wear is a flannel. It’s so warm and cozy and the plaid patterns are just so cute, don’t ya think?? So it was only natural that I was inspired to use some flannel for a project.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Kraft Paper
Gift Boxes
Flannel Fabric (I got mine at JoAnns, or you could use an old shirt!)
Ribbon (Michaels has a whole collection of awesome gold and burlap looking ribbon)
Twine
Feathers
Wooden Tags (the reindeer is from Hobby Lobby and the rectangle is a scrap piece of plywood I had)

First off, you’re going to wrap your boxes in the Kraft paper.

Next up, you’re going to attach your ribbon. Nothing bothers me more than uneven edges of fabric, so I used the ribbon to cover that up and make everything look nice and neat.  I used the hot glue gun again, only applying it underneath where the ends of the ribbon met.

By Bre Purposed for www.livelaughrowe.comTime for some power tools 🙂 Get your drill and make a hole for your twine to go through. (If you want to avoid having to use a drill, the craft stores sell some little wooden tags with holes in them already).

Use your twine and wrap it around your box, using the ends to attach your tags.

I didn’t want my ugly handwriting to ruin them 😉 I think some pretty writing in gold would be perfect though!

Your friends and family probably aren’t even going to want to open up their gifts because the wrapping is so cute! You could even use these as decor, which I’m going to do since my boxes were empty 🙂
