Elegant Christmas Wrapping Paper

For your Christmas table festive and fun this holiday season, why not "wrap? This super easy craft Christmas centerpiece requires only a few minutes to complete it sounds great and best of all, you do not need Martha Stewart to do so.

Here's what you'll need:

A rectangular piece of Styrofoam or cardboard

10-15 assorted small boxes (a variety of shapes and sizes work best)

2-3 rolls of Christmas wrapping paper

2-3 types of Christmas ribbon

A few pics of Christmas (usually in the floral or craft department)

Christmas greens

Hot glue gun

Here's how:

1. Cover up a piece of cardboard or styrofoam Christmas wrapping paper. This will serve as the basis of the piece. You can use tape to secure the ends and edges, but using a hot glue gun will give you a cleaner finish.

2. Using different wrapping paper, wrap each small boxes and secure the edges and ends with hot glue.

3. Place the boxes at the base. Place the boxes and the largest in the center as the focal point. Have smaller boxes around the largest extending outward on the edges of the box.

4. Whatever you have arranged the boxes, add ribbons and bows to make a nice arrangement.

5. Now, each box of glue to the base.

6. Once all boxes are secured to the base and the glue is dry, add to the Christmas and picks up green to save the centerpiece of life. This is just a button should not go too far. Just add enough until the room is to your liking.

A few more suggestions:

If you have young children or others will be attending your Christmas, use red and green wrapping paper with fun patterns and designs. Use packing paper that has Santa, reindeer, snowmen or her.

If your theme is Christmas in the country, wrapping boxes with burlap or Vichy and the use of dried flowers and cinnamon sticks, rather than bows, ribbons and picks.

Or if your dinner is super gold using elegant and sophisticated, and / or silver lace wrap and decorations reflecting glass between the boxes.

However you decide to do, this piece is sure to be a topic of conversation around your holiday table.
