Bring some elegance to your Christmas Gifts this season with these faux leather wrapping papers. These really allow for a lot of customization. The pairing of a complimentary ribbon such as the brown velvet really ties in the look. All you have to do is find some faux leather wrapping paper or if you're having a hard time finding it you can even use fabric and wrap as if it were paper. Then use ribbon and embellishments to your own discretion. I've seen this paper online on Zazzle as well as in Michael's craft store. 


5. Gift Box with Floral Accent

This is an amazing option for a gift that comes packaged in a gift box. A simple wrapping that both saves time and paper. Either get a pretty fake bouquet or pick some flowers from your nearest plant and attach with a cute ribbon. 


6. Faux Bois Gift Wrap with Paper Feather Accents

The highlight of this wrap is the paper feathers. You can use any type of wrapping paper but the Faux Bois Wood Grain Gift Wrap looks stunning with the paper feathers. They're finished off with some cute twine. 

YOU WILL NEED
----------------------------------------
Paper Feathers
Gift Wrap 
Twine
 Feather Punch (optional)

First wrap your gift with the wallpaper of your choice. For the paper feather accents you can either buy them pre-made, use a feather punch, or make them yourself. They're quite simple to make. Just cut construction paper in the color of your choice into strips and fold in half the long way. Cut a half circle along the edge for the quill and get creative with the slits down the sides. When you have your feathers done, just attach with a cute twine.
