As a crafty gal, I’m always looking for new ways to repurpose things I already have.
I recently purchases some AMAZING bright, and colourful elastics from my very favourite craft supply website, Pick Your Plum. They make beautiful hairbands, but I’ve been dreaming up new ways to use the elastic and when I was putting together some Summer packages, I had a the best idea for new Summer Gift Wrapping!
I forgot to take a picture of my own elastics before I used them, but this [above] is an example of the beautiful elastic packs you can buy on Pick Your Plum.
This time, I used them to beautify some brown paper packages :)
You can buy the brown wrapping paper at your local craft store or post office. The floral accessories are something I happened to have lying around that matched my colours PERFECTLY! I knew they would add a nice Spring/Summery feel, so I went ahead and accented my packages with them.
Here’s a few up close and personal shots of the wrapping. I’ll let the pictures do the talking :)
I hope you like my summery gift wrap!
If you are itching to buy your own elastic now, you are IN LUCK!

Thank you Shonee :) I loved that one too!
These are so cute!! Also the pictures are of fantastic quality! You have some photography skills! :-)
Thank you so much! So glad you liked everything :)
These look so pretty – and easy to do, too!
Agreed! It took no time at all to wrap them all :)
Lindi, these are SO cute! I love the brown packaging, and those cute pops of color. Great idea! Pinning.
Thank you!! I love adding colour to everything!
So cute! I love great wrapping, but I’m all thumbs so it rarely turns out well. Maybe I can manage this.
You CAN manage this! So simple! I’m usually all thumbs too (notice the lack of corner pictures… Lol)
I love beautifully wrapped gifts, I pin loads of ideas. Then 9 times out of 10 at the last minute I fling a present in a previously used and saved gift bag. Must try harder! This looks so pretty and easy.
I’ve just started trying harder lately! It’s sooo much fun to receive a pretty gift!
gorgeous ideas!!! and I adore the colors you used!
Thank you! I wanted something bright and fun :)
These are too cute- I love the bright colors one the brown paper!
I stopped by from Hit Me With Your Best Shot.
Thanks so much :) Glad you stopped by!
Wow. These are some seriously professional looking gift wrappings.
Haha, trust me, they are not professional! Lol
Make choosing the perfect wrapping paper a non-starter plus you can doll it up with the ribbon. I love it. Thank you for sharing on Merry Monday.
Exactly!! I start almost all my wrapping with brown kraft paper now :)
I love the fresh colours and designs you used!
I’m so stealing this idea! LOVE it!! Pinning right now. So glad you shared with us at Merry Monday. I’m going to Feature this at the next party which begins Sunday night.
Thank you SO much Shirley!! I’m thrilled that you like it :)
These gift wrap ideas are so gorgeous. Love the colours of your elastics etc. So disappointed to see that Pick your plum doesn’t ship to UK though :(
I’d like to say thanks for sharing but I’m sad I can’t buy the gorgeous elastics. ;) only joking thanks for sharing.
