Creative DIY Kraft Gift Wrapping Ideas - part four

Monday, 16 December 2019


This will be our last post for the holidays featuring DIY gift wrapping ideas using our everyday kraft bags and boxes. In this post, all of our gift wrapping ideas take on a Frozen theme and we think that Elsa and Anna would like all of them! 


White paint markers were used to decorate all of these kraft bags and boxes



This magnetic closure gift box was embellished with a variety of different "snowflakes" to create a simple one of a kind design and tied up with a ribbon so there would be no peeking! 


The handmade Santa gift topper works as a gift tag holder.


We added fresh foliage to our gift wrapping in this blog post and here's one more idea for how to work it into your holiday gift wrapping ...


We drew a branch and ornament onto the top of this kraft gift box and then incorporated a piece of fresh cedar and an ornament gift toppers for a 3-D effect. We chose to use this narrow ribbon on the gift box so that the illustration/fresh foliage/ornament would take centre stage in the overall presentation.



Got pom poms? Why not glue a few onto a kraft gift box to look like snow balls. Add some snowflakes with a white paint marker, a striped ribbon and a hand decorated ornament as a gift topper and you are done.



If you are using a smaller box like this kraft folding set up box, adding a design (or to/from message) to the front of the box gives you more space on the top of the box for ribbon and a gift topper.



No need to buy an additional gift tag with this gift wrapping idea. We punched a hole in this kraft paper shopper and drew a "gift tag" into the bag's design before adding the twine to the faux tag.






So that's a wrap for holiday gift wrapping inspiration with our kraft boxes and bags. We hope that you've been inspired!

Making the Holidays Sweet

Thursday, 7 December 2017


making the holidays sweet with the Sweet Life Collection | creativebag.com

We have so many creative customers that make the most incredibly beautiful baked goods.Their cookies and cakes are like pieces of art and they are the inspiration behind our exclusive Sweet Life Collection. 

The Sweet Life collection is basically white and gold with a "sprinkle" of colours. Think of it like holiday sugar cookies that are just waiting for you to add whatever colour of icing and sprinkles that you want - pastel or brights - because everything goes!

making the holidays sweet with the Sweet Life Collection | creativebag.com


Products in the collection were intended to be used for gift packaging. Wouldn't these look amazing in window and instore displays in both bake shops and retail stores. 

Make it fun with lots of colours or keep it sophisticated and simple by just using white & gold like our custom cookies by Emma's Sweets. The DIY cookie cutter ornaments were created using oven baked clay and custom cookie cutters that match our "cookie and sprinkles" print.

holiday inspiration: create your own gift boxes

gift box packaging inspiration for holiday gift giving | creativebag.com

Holiday gift boxes are wonderful to receive and are so simple to personalize for everyone on your list. Don't over think how to make your gift boxes look beautiful. Use any of our gift boxes to package a collection of holiday gift items and embellish them with a few items like ribbon, gift tags and mini wreaths.

Here's how we were able to add a wreath to one of our gift boxes using ribbon:

gift box packaging inspiration for holiday gift giving | creativebag.com

Gather your supplies: gift box, mini wreath, ribbon and a gift tag*
* we used the "hugs, kisses & merry wishes" coaster as a gift tag
Step 1: Loop the ribbon around one side of the wreath as shown above. 
Step 2: Centre the wreath on the top of the box and wrap both ends of the ribbon around bottom of the box. 
Step 3: Pull one end of the ribbon up and around to loop around the wreath as shown in the centre photo.
Step 4: Keep the wreath and ribbon in place by tying a knot. Finish with a bow and trim the ribbon tails to complete. 
Step 5: Tuck a round coaster in the centre of the wreath to use as a gift tag. 
Note - You can use this same technique using a wreath and ribbon on square and rectangular gift boxes


With a little help from our sweet customers, here's some inspiration for what to put inside your holiday gift boxes ...

Macaronz is located in downtown Brampton and is well known as the place to go for high tea and french macarons. We packaged two of Macaronz hot chocolate kits with a vintage spoon in one gift box. French macarons were tucked into a holiday themed mason jar in another gift box along with a gift certificate for high tea at Macaronz tucked under the sizzle. Check out Macaronz for custom products and corporate gifts.

If you like to shop at local holiday maker markets then you might find this gift box inspiring. We filled a clear take out box with tiny cookies from Teeny Tiny Bakery and packaged them along with a mug from Makeology and a DIY wood ornament kit from Kiriki Press. Teeny Tiny Bakery is located in Toronto in the Junction area and creates the most adorable teeny tiny cookies that will just make you smile.
