Who loves brown paper packages tied up in string? Me, me, me! That’s why I was thrilled when Rachel of Lines Across and Let’s Wrap Stuff asked me to participate in her Brown Paper Packages blog hop. With two little boys running around, it’s hard to find a whole lot of time to create extravagant wrapping jobs so I went with a super easy but cute Chalkboard Gift Tags & Ornaments to embellish my brown packages.
Chalkboard Gift Tags & Ornaments
Making these chalkboard gift tags can be super easy and quick as long as you know one little secret…use white graphite paper! It totally looks like chalk but without all the mess. You can either free hand the design over the graphite paper or print out an image and trace. Either way, you’re going to want to finish the “chalkboard” with a clear coat of spray sealant to prevent the image from smearing.
After you finish the tag, just wrap up the gift with some pretty ribbon and brown paper, add a sprig from your Christmas tree with a few red bells attached, attach the chalkboard gift tag, and you’re good to go! Such an easy way to create a gorgeous gift!

This fall, Rachel of Lines Across launched Let’s Wrap Stuff, a website devoted to all things gift wrap related. To celebrate its launch, Rachel challenged me and a select group of talented bloggers to come up with a creative gift wrap idea using plain kraft paper. Who doesn’t love brown paper packages tied up with string? Check out all 24 creative kraft paper gift wrap ideas below.
I love the idea of using an ornament as a gift tag, and the chalkboard one works so well! I love how your gift wrap turned out… especially those little red bells! Thanks for sharing Vanessa and for being a part of the series!
