Creative Ways to Wrap Christmas Gifts with Chalkboard Paper and Tags

For a modern rustic look, chalkboard packaging has a distinct look and feel that is almost unmatched. It’s quite simple to incorporate simply because you can create the look with faux materials from faux chalkboard labels and tags to chalkboard paint. Let’s explore what you can do:

1 – Create a chalkboard look by taking brown Kraft paper and painting a portion of it with chalkboard paint. Add simple twine, an evergreen sprig, and bells. Then, personalize the gift with your own message. See this idea via The Lily Pad Cottage.

2 – Get chalkboard gift-wrapping paper and use simple yarn to attach pretty clay stars as an embellishment. Write your own holiday messages for a whimsical touch. Check out this cute tutorial via Hello Homebody

3 – Turn simple black kraft paper into whimsical holiday packaging by adding a unique accent like this clever candy cane! See the blog of The Honest Company.

4 – Here’s a fast way to present your gifts without ribbons! Use baker’s twine in red and green and mark the gift with your own handwriting for a personalized approach. Check out this idea via the blog of Stampington.

5 – Use an actual chalkboard as your gift accent! We love this classic Christmas gift presentation of a mini chalkboard bearing a greeting of “Merry Christmas” coupled with trimmings like a striped red ribbon, a bunch of red jingle bells, and an evergreen sprig. See the blog of Tried and True.

6 – Attach black chalkboard tag to gray wrapping paper. Add a jingly bell as an accent together with a leather ribbon. Finish the gift with tiny golden stars! See the idea on Therese Knutsen’s blog.

7 – A simple chalkboard label turns a plain cello bag of peppermint candies into a thoughtful gift. See Today’s Mama for the printable.

8 – Make a small box look like a standout gift by adding a rustic ornament like a pinecone and evergreen sprig. See this idea on Our Sweet Magnolia.

9 – Use a chalkboard tag with a snowflake motif and make a brown kraft box come to life when finished with a boxwood clipping and red ribbon. Check out this wonderful idea and free printable on A Burst of Beautiful.
