Here’s another idea of what you can do if you don’t have doilies. Paper doilies from the baking department work too! I added some gold stickers from my scrapbooking stash and an ornament from the dollar store.
Really you can use anything like this. The next package is wrapped in what I think was a sleeve from a dress once.
I wrapped the little box in a bit of white tissue paper first so that it’s colors wouldn’t shine through the lace. And I used an old belt buckle and some satin ribbon to tie it up.
The second package is a role with a Christmassy, vintage tag.
Zero cost but looks great.
Using old black and white photographs adds instant ‘vintagification’ too. Just look for a winter image among your old family’s photographs or search on-line and print it out on card stock.
Marianne, thank you for the inspiration, I love all of the ideas, and using brown paper as the base is brilliant!

Lovely ideas, I’ll try to use them all! Love the vintage look of the craft paper and doilies, heck, I like everything you did!
Love the doily on the brown paper and the vintage family photo idea! Thanks so much for the pretty inspiration! 🙂
Such incredibly beautiful gift wrap ideas! I am decorating in white this year, and these will be beautiful under the tree. Hard to pick a favorite! Love the vintage tag idea with the recycled Christmas card. Great project for the kids or Grandkids to make as well. Tea staining (or coffee staining) the white tag with the black and white photo,and adding ribbon or twine, and using as decorations on the tree or garland would be beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing.
Marianne, if I received a gift packaged like that I wouldn’t want to open it! I’d just want to display it as is! Gorgeous girl!
Fabulous! I posted a link on my FB page this morning! Love it!
