Since this is the first Christmas for Let’s Wrap Stuff, I wanted to celebrate its recent launch by challenging 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? Of course, I had to take part too! Check out all 24 creative gift wrap ideas below.
This ice cream cone gift wrap is so fun and really easy to make. My kids are already obsessed with this present.
1. Kraft wrapping paper (I used a small roll of paper from the paint section at Home Depot)
2. Yarn
3. A small red pom pom, or a button
4. Brown paper or brown felt
5. Tape, double-sided tape, and glue
1. Start by wrapping your present in plain brown paper.
2. Make your pom pom. If you don’t know how to make a yarn pom pom, here is a great tutorial. Here is a neat trick that makes making pom poms even easier. You can also buy a neat little tool for making pom poms for less than $10.
3. Cut out your cone and attach it to your gift with double sided tape.
4. Place your pom pom where you want it to be, and start taping down a few strands of yarn to the package. It felt really secure after I taped in 4 places (underneath where you can’t see the tape). You could also just use a hot glue gun to attach your pom pom, but if you use tape then the pom pom will be reusable.
5. Use glue to add the little red pom pom cherry and stem.
For a larger gift, make an ice cream come with 2 or 3 scoops. You could also go for a fun look like mint chocolate chip by using mostly a mint green yarn with some speckles of dark brown.
Now on to the brown paper package challenge. Be sure to stop by and check out these other wonderful gift wrap ideas.

Thanks so much Alexis!
I just made my first spider – LOVED how cute it tunred out! Also I had just bought some adorable halloween fabric – now I know what to do with it – frame it! I think I may do some squares and then some in circles with embroidery frames that I spray paint black! Thanks for the great halloween ideas! Can I post this cute idea on my blog with a link to you?
Oh my cuteness! I love the pom pom ice cream cone topper!
