Whatever occasion you’re celebrating this month or anytime this summer, you can easily add a little creativity to your gift wrap. These five colorful ideas will have your recipient loving your gift before they even know what’s inside!

This adorable bike design is great for a gift for the cyclist, and so easy to recreate. If your gift is hobby related, you can use this same concept with any object that fits their interest.

Splash of Something

For a nautical theme use a cutout or stamp of a sailboat or other water vessel and create a boater’s theme in color and design.

Nothing screams summer like a giant peony from the garden. Make this one out of tissue to cover the top of your gift. A big bright sunflower would do just as well.

33 Shades of Green

I love the summer colors and ice cream cone design of this one from Beauty and Bedlam. Think of other favorite summer symbols and create similar designs with paper craft. Let your imagination take you on this one.

For an eco-friendly, recyclable design, wrap your gift with a lovely summer fabric in the form of a scarf or tea towel that your recipient can use in addition to the gift inside.
