When we began selling this \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/index.php?route=product\/search\u0026amp;filter_name=5SSW-ROLL\"\u003eBlack Chalkboard Kraft Wrapping Paper\u003c\/a\u003e, I knew I’d be using it to package my holiday gifts this year. Because I like to have a couple colors under my tree, I also picked up a roll of the regular \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/index.php?route=product\/search\u0026amp;filter_name=5SSW-ROLL\"\u003eKraft Wrapping Paper\u003c\/a\u003e, as I thought the pairing would be gorgeous. Our Christmas tree is decorated in primarily red and black, so I decided to use red as an accent color on the gifts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGiving presents a stylish presentation couldn’t be simpler. You can wrap a gift in the black or Kraft paper, and then doodle or \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/art-stamps-full-collection\"\u003estamp\u003c\/a\u003e on it, and tie it with a coordinating \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ribbons-and-fibers\"\u003eribbon\u003c\/a\u003e or scrap of fabric. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chalks-and-colored-pencils\"\u003eChalkboard markers\u003c\/a\u003e work fantastic on the black paper. Either color of paper looks great when combined with a strip of vintage sheet music. A glittered red star makes the perfect \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/embellishments\"\u003eembellishment\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat I really like about this paper is that there is a lot on a roll, and it’s sturdy. Some manufactured wrapping paper creases and wrinkles easily; this isn’t the case with this paper. It’s very forgiving, even for someone like me, who isn’t the greatest at wrapping presents.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnce you’re done wrapping gifts, you can use what’s left of the paper to make a great \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/free-how-to-project-Sweet-Treats-Party-Inspiration-Project\"\u003etable runner\u003c\/a\u003e for your holiday party. Guests can write holiday wishes on it, or you can label the different food you’re serving.
