Pretty, Pretty Presents: How To Wrap a Gift With Yarn

November 20, 2013 by AllFreeCrochet 7 Comments

presents-blog-post-2The perfect gift deserves only the best gift wrapping, right? Whether you’re giving store-bought or homemade gifts this year, think outside the box when it comes to wrapping your presents. Proper gift wrapping adds the perfect finishing touch to any holiday gift.

A nice wrapping job often requires a little bit more than your standard holiday gift wrap and store-bought bows. If you don’t have time to make your own gifts this year, you can at least add a quick homemade touch to your wrapping. All it takes is a few minutes and a little bit of yarn to create beautiful crochet or knit gift toppers and bows.

Find our favorite crochet patterns and free knit patterns for bows, gift boxes, gift toppers, and more below. You’ll discover the best free patterns ever for making your wrapping just as special as the gift itself.

    Yes, I have. Crocheted jar toppers with apple slice ties to go on my homemade apple butter for Christmas gifts last year. I think that counts? I also crocheted peppermint “starlight mint” pins that I added to gift packages & handed out to the nurses that were caring for my husband while he was in the hospital over Thanksgiving & Christmas. I’ve used bulky weight fluffy yarn instead of ribbon for ties & bows, etc. to wrap packages, also.

    My family stayed over for Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas morning opening of presents one year. Since the children were four years old and under and couldn’t really read their names, I wrapped each child’s presents in a separate yarn color. This way in case they got up before their parents, they would know what presents were theirs by the color of the yarn. Worked out very well, because you know they were up before the roosters!!

    I have used yarn remnants in place of ribbon on many occasions with pompoms instead of bows.
