Another great DIY hack is taking your pictures down and wrapping them like a present and putting them back up

@DawnDavidson 6 месяцев назад

Saw this at a restaurant the other day. So cute!

@jennifercumings9276 7 месяцев назад

I wrap my existing pillows with large scarfs when I want to change out my look. Thrift stores are forever full on them. Cheaper then new pillows and you can add a coordinating blanket/ throw and you can find those fairly inexpensive anywhere you shop.

@denisepope8599 6 месяцев назад

The tag pipe cleaner gift wrap hack is a great idea; especially, for children and elderly and mentally challenged adults and children. Thanks you.

@angiemontgomery3907 7 месяцев назад

With my twins, they always had their own paper-BUT on Christmas morning, I’d hide a 6” square swatch with their name on it. They have to find the swatch before opening gifts bc they didn’t know whose was whose. (Gives us parents time to get some coffee going ❤) They’re 19 now & we still do it!

@EdimentalGardens 7 месяцев назад

Great idea!

@charlesterviel5748 7 месяцев назад

When our five were young, I wrapped their gifts in their own different paper. Before that, the older kids would shake them and figure out what was in them before we got to the tree. I also cut out a swatch and glued it to school paper with their name next to it. That way little ones recognized their name and their gifts. They are between 30 and 50 now, and they still get their own paper (so do the extended family). Ruth in Illinois. Merry Christmas early!

Just an fyi…..the glasses in your place settings should be in the upper right of the placemats. (I was just talking about this at dinner tonight.) I took notes and screenshots of many of these hacks. 🥰

@astatine0085 7 месяцев назад

I just use leftover wrapping / tissue paper for storing ornaments.

@lizfenwickdiy 7 месяцев назад

Great idea!

@imthedailymaker 7 месяцев назад

The marshmallow snowflake stole my heart! ❤😂

@karynstouffer3562 7 месяцев назад

An even less expensive way to dress up the craft paper wrapping - use cookie cutters dipped in craft paint. The paint doesn't stick too badly if you keep a little dish of water to put them in as you finish using each one. You can also use the cookie cutters as templates to mark cheap sponges for cutting out. The spacey look of the paint from the sponge is really cute.

@lizfenwickdiy 7 месяцев назад

Oh my gosh this is such a good idea! I am working on a DIY right now where you use the cookie cutters as stamps on tea towels!

@karynstouffer3562 7 месяцев назад

@@lizfenwickdiy That sounds pretty, can't wait.

@nancyparks195 6 месяцев назад

The wrap you used to wrap around your Christmas tree for storage. Tip, you can buy that wrap at horse tack shops. Comes in lots of colors and way cheaper than in a regular store. It is called vetwrap. We use it a lot for our horses.

@patjones5723 7 месяцев назад

A table cloth also makes a nice inexpensive tree skirt 😊 FYI....when making a bow if you twist the ribbon instead of the pipe cleaner you'll get a tighter bow 🙃😉😊

@talabarton2948 6 месяцев назад

Thank you Liz for these great tips.

@jennifercumings9276 7 месяцев назад

Lightly spray your parchment paper with cooking spray prior to baking the peppermint. Then put the bowl on top of the candies and flip that way.

@EweTube4 7 месяцев назад

When cutting something like the foam topper, always start at the beginning or end to get the most out of your topper. Same with fabric.

@carlaamanda86 6 месяцев назад

Omg her cutting it in the middle then cutting it even smaller was killlllingggg meeeee. Sooooo much waste!!! Like who starts in the center!! Crazy! My ocd could neverrrrr. Haha. ❤

@thatrogersmith 5 месяцев назад

@@carlaamanda86 It’s not waste if you repurpose it. Crafters usually do.

@angelapeck9269 7 месяцев назад

To keep from wasting so much wrapping paper by cutting off too much is take your gift and cut off only enough to wrap around the gift. Then pull up one end to just the top of the end and cut the other end about an inch past that end. Then center the package on the wrapping paper and there should be just the right amount of paper with no waste.

@missouriartiste 6 месяцев назад

Was just going to suggest this @angelapeck9269! Wrapping paper is too expensive to waste.

@1888.cfc. 6 месяцев назад

Common sense I thought.

@breezeh1127 7 месяцев назад

We have been doing the different color paper for each person for years ❤ We also use a different color for gifts from grandparents or aunts or friends. This way our kids know which gifts are from whom. We have 5 kids and they have autism and it helps a lot. We also number the gifts so they can go search under the tree for their color and number order. This way expectations are managed for autism. This way they get the same level gifts at the same time. So if one got socks..they get socks together or an equal gift at the same time. It is hard for young spectrum children to see a sibling get a stuffed animal when they get new socks at the same time. It's a lot of work but I keep a notebook and cut out a square of their color paper and glue it next to each kids name and number the listed gifts next to each name and paper square. 💖

@brendaschueler21 6 месяцев назад

What a wonderful idea!! Go You!!! 🎉✨🎊 That would work well for younger children too. ♥

The scarf wreath hack is the most Greatest Ever, for even lazy old me, thanks, Liz❣️

@secondeve610 7 месяцев назад

Some of the best hacks! Color coding gift giving, marshmallow snowflakes, might try that pinwheel wrapping!

@maurifreedle5141 7 месяцев назад

You can also use liquor boxes that the stores get their wine in for ornaments, or glasses and niknaks if you are moving. You want ones that still have the tops on them. Just put paper towels, newspaper, or napkins in between them for safety.

@lizfenwickdiy 7 месяцев назад

Good idea!

@kristinecornell8649 7 месяцев назад

I have done the gift wrap hack (1 pattern per kid) the last few years now. I do it so they aren't trying to find their gifts & guess what it is. It has worked great! Then I put a small piece of their paper in the bottom of their stocking so once the stocking is looked through they can start opening gifts.

@renebartels2161 6 месяцев назад

That's a great idea to put it in their stocking!

@martyC9578 6 месяцев назад

I have used the mattress foam for ornaments but I place 1 on top and on bottom to keep them more secure. Just a thought.

@rosannecoleman3684 6 месяцев назад

Truly this was the best Holiday Hack video I have viewed so far, and I have seen many. The ideas and creations were very high end and definitely explained in plain language. Liz has a great relatable helpful attitude. Thank you very much 🎄🎄🎄

@rhondamaneely4796 7 месяцев назад

The ornaments covered with balloons would be good if you are doing a pastel-themed tree where you would need ornaments in an array of colors.

@lizfenwickdiy 7 месяцев назад

Yes!!!

@tami2170 6 месяцев назад

@pennyraines3297 7 месяцев назад

Hi Liz, I've been making peppermint plates and bowls for several years. It's not necessary to take the candy in and out of the oven. Just put the amount you want in the oven and presto a bowl or plate

@user-cl5yk4bg2u 6 месяцев назад

Also, I've used cookie dough and baked it around the bowl. The best was using a loaf pan. Covered with double chocolate dough over outside then filled the container with peanut butter cookies!

@juleighhastings6224 7 месяцев назад

My beautiful mom, taught me how to wrap presents like a professional artist!

@user-hy7cv2dl2o 7 месяцев назад

For the bows you need to put a tiny triangle cut out of each side before you put the pipe cleaner around it and twist one side then the other. It takes less than a minute and looks so professional

@debramorse841 6 месяцев назад

@lauriekuhlmann3381 7 месяцев назад

When my boys were still at home we wrapped their gifts as you suggested with each having their own color/design. This was great when you had kids that liked to shake and try to figure out what was in the packages before mom and dad got up. They didn’t know which color/design was theirs!

@yakarobed 7 месяцев назад

Tree bags are the way to go when storing a tree you have to take apart. I'm fortunate to have a place to store my trees still together. I used to use trash bags to cover them but now buy the large rolls of plastic wrap. I've even left them decorated with the non-breakable ornaments.

About fluffing the loops on bows... my mom taught me that you're supposed to start pulling the loops from the inside, not the top (outside). Pull up and twist like you said but you have more room to fluff.

Caution about smart plugs. There was a post of how someone’s dog became extremely ill due to the noise frequency the smart plugs gave off. Whenever the dog was out of the house, he seemed fine and did not want to go back inside. But once back inside, he was ill again. And the plugs were the newest thing introduced into the home. Just keep that in mind if your pets do start to act weird or become ill.

Ur bow looks great ! But just a suggestion...I worked at a plant store...partial nursery...especially during the holiday seasons....as far as plants that u might decorate with or give as gifts well as live wreaths.Was actually taught to Make All sizes of Bows to use on the various plants.. INSTEAD OF STARTING TO PULL OUT THE LOOPS ON EACH SIDE OF UR BOW FROM THE VERY TOP LOOPS...STILL PULL LOOPS OUT AS PER UR INSTRUCTIONS..THO BEGIN PULLING THE LOOPS FROM THE INSIDE OR THE MIDDLE...The bow will be so much fuller! U STILL have to work to Fluff the loops...etc...but I made full bows without ever having wired ribbons to use! Just a Quick Tip to help 1st time bow makers!! ❤
