Finish by wrapping your gift box with gorgeous double sided wrapping paper from Hallmark Crown stores. Like that Pinwheel Bow? Let me show you how I made it!

How to make a pinwheel bow for Christmas presents.

Pinwheel Bow Instructions:

1. Cut a small square of double sided wrapping paper.

2. Make a cut at each corner toward the middle of the square for a total of four slits.

3. Take one corner and glue or tape it down in the middle. Do the same with the opposite corner.

4. Tape to gift wherever you see fit. Finish with a mint or candy cane (optional).

Keep your hostess gifts under your Christmas tree or displayed nicely on your coffee table or end table for a festive Christmas look. Your gift is now ready for your next Holiday shindig. Now, who’s inviting me to their Christmas party!

    Stacie, I love the mug warmer so cute! I can't believe it's the Christmas season already, where did the time go? I am so not the crafty person but I love the simplicity of upgrading your holiday gifts.

    All the Hallmarks in my area has closed down. I'm upset about this because I would go there during the holidays for cards and gifts. I love these ideas Stacie! #ProductReviewParty
