Today we might think of this type of wrapping as Scandinavian inspired or with a natural minimalist vibe but she didn’t bother with anything like that, she simply had a knack for wrapping her gifts the way she decorated her home — earth tones, lots of nature, cozy, not overdone.  I’ve gathered a few inspirations that would be right of my aunt’s alley. Lots of natural toned papers — kraft paper new or repurposed, white butcher style paper or newspaper even, as well as pieces of fabric and simple kraft paper boxes.  A good selection of adornments — linen or cotton twine, silk or satin ribbons (new, saved or foraged from the depths of the craft closet), and a color or two of Japanese washi tape.  A gathering of natural elements — branches, twigs & winter...
