This post is not about expensive gift wrapping because it focuses on DIY ideas which are more about time and passion than money. And even though “do it yourself” might sound amateurish to some, I assure that these gift wrapping examples are both stylish and modern.

In the tutorials below you’ll learn how to make your own wrapping paper, create a paper bow for your gifts and even creatively reuse grocery bags with washi tape to wrap gifts in a fun and surprising way.
