Holiday Gift Wrapping Ideas

Designs by Candi Gershon

For these present-ready holiday packages, Candi dressed up plain purchased gift bags with three types of clever closures: grommets, magnets, and ribbon woven through punched slots.

Editor's Tip: To decorate the gift-bag fronts, cut holiday-theme accents out of patterned paper and embellish them with buttons, brads, and ribbons.
