How to Wrap an Open Box: Creative Gift Wrapping! Here's how to wrap an open box! This time of year we need boxes for gift wrapping, but the items don't always fit inside. This is a creative alternative for a basket too--compostable at that!  Wrap an open box with fabulous and festive wrapping paper and then fill the box with all the gifts, treats and goodies. Creative gift wrapping is my favorite thing--I am not great at wrapping gifts but I love to do it anyway. This is a great way to wrap something that you want visible, is too big for the box you own, or just to show off your amazing gift giving in a gift box style.   Works great for bringing dinner over to a family too...just wrap the open box so it looks much prettier than just a box, but they don't have to return it.   Supplies Needed to Wrap an Open Box: affiliate links 1 Cardboard Box (with the top flaps cut off) Wrapping Paper (this double sided paper is beautiful!)
