Black Christmas Gift Wrap Ideas

Christmas preparations are in full swing around here! If you saw our holiday home tour last weekend you know I’m all about neutral holiday decor. It’s the same with wrapping presents! For years, I used plain kraft paper, which I still love. However, I’ve moved onto to something more dramatic and magical. Today, I’m sharing my black Christmas gift wrap ideas for simple holiday decor. Because wrapping gifts is a family affair, you’ll see little touches from my 8 year old too!

In general, I like to choose one paper color for wrapping gifts each year. In previous years, I’ve used white or kraft paper. Not only does it look really pretty, but is also saves money and reduces clutter than the chaos of different wrapping paper rolls.

Black Christmas Gift Wrapping Supplies

Where to buy matte black wrapping paper?

Many craft stores carry plain, matte black wrapping paper though I order mine in large rolls online. Amazon carries a lightweight roll of black kraft paper that I use for Christmas gifts and throughout the year. It’s easy to fold and has a nice, rich, flat black color.

While I’m at it, I’ve gathered up my favorite Amazon Christmas Decorations to add more neutral modern holiday decor.

After wrapping each gift with the black paper. I tied a bow with natural Jute twine. This is my go-to string for so many DIY projects. I also used it for my Modern Hoop Wreath and the Brass Bell Garland. It’s practical and also adds pretty texture and warmth.

Finally, we finished them up with writing names using a White Chalk Pen (this is where my son helped – I cherish seeing his handwriting!)

To finish them off, I tucked some fresh greenery under the strong. I used Rosemary & Cedar from our yard – and for the lovely smell! Little pine branches or eucalyptus stems would also be really lovely!

How to use black wrapping paper?

You might be wondering just how to use this black paper. In addition to these lovely Christmas gifts, I’ve also used this same paper as bold, casual table cloth during the holidays and get togethers.

It would also be pretty framed with a white outline drawing (bookmarking this idea!). It could also be used for book covers and cabinet drawer liners.
