Ways to Add a Festive Touch to Basic Gift Boxes

Incorporate some natural elements into your gift wrap with a few simple materials. First, wrap twine around the handle of a kraft takeout box, then add a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme. Finish with a copper tag to emphasize the rustic, handmade look. To customize your tag, use a letter stamp kit to add your recipient's name.

Using a plain kraft box, add decorative snow texture to create a winter wonderland on the lid. Once the texture is dry, use a hot glue gun to apply the miniature deer and trees. Place decorative ribbon around the sides to finish the look.

To bring a whimsical look to your gifts, create a gingerbread house out of a kraft takeout box. Use decorative snow texture to create piping on your gingerbread house, then apply red hots or candy canes to add a holiday touch.

Give a basic kraft box a feminine spin by adding sequins to the outer edge. Stuff your gift inside with tulle for an extra layer of chicness.
