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:
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 ...
