DIY Gift Wrap – How To Make Gift Wrap. I’m not sure what’s more fun – buying gifts for people that you love, or wrapping them!
I’ve always loved wrapping gifts and it’s funny because I’m terrible at doing it the traditional way… You could always tell which gifts were from me growing up because of the wrinkled, disheveled wrapping paper. But I do love getting creative with gift wrapping and coming up with alternative ways to do it, making your gifts even more personalized and special. Check out some of the creative ways we’re wrapping gifts this holiday season!

DIY Alternative Valentines. Walk into any store this week and you’ll find yourself surrounded with all things Valentine’s Day…flowers, candy, cards, heart-shaped boxes full of chocolate…it’s everywhere.
But one of my favorite things about this holiday, and really all holidays, is coming up with creative, alternative ways to show people you care. Valentine’s Day offers plenty of opportunities for getting crafty and making something really special and handmade for the one you love. Here are two alternative valentines that I, for one, would love to receive – and love making for others! If you have ideas for fun alternative valentines let us know in the comments, or send a photo to blog@freepeople.com. We would love to see :). What you need: For the first project, all you need is a heart-shaped box of chocolates (empty out the chocolates first!) Remove the chocolates, and fill the empty spaces with meaningful objects! For the second alternative valentine, I loved the idea of making tiny valentines with matchboxes.

There’s something about string lights that can really give off that cozy feeling, and today’s DIY uses them in the cutest way I’ve ever seen.
