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!
Great idea!
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!
Love this
Loveeee this idea!!! That’s so fun!! ❤
I just use leftover wrapping / tissue paper for storing ornaments.
Great idea!
Thank you Liz for these great tips.
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. 🥰
1:17 Don’t mind me, I’m just marking my faves. Wonderful hacks! Thanks for sharing!!❤
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.
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.
The scarf wreath hack is the most Greatest Ever, for even lazy old me, thanks, Liz❣️
Yes I would use the balloon 🎈 idea to refurbish ornaments
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.
Was just going to suggest this @angelapeck9269! Wrapping paper is too expensive to waste.
Common sense I thought.
Yes, I wanted to comment on the waste in several hacks, but felt like an ogre by mentioning it! It really bothered me, though! 😂 Glad someone else agreed with me.
@@yvonneschermerhorn866 it wasn't waste, each of them had a purpose for the extra
Professional crafters don’t have “waste”…just extras waiting to be repurposed.
You NEVER disappoint or leave us yawning 🤗
Thank you!
Well done you! ❤
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 🎄🎄🎄
Another great DIY hack is taking your pictures down and wrapping them like a present and putting them back up
Saw this at a restaurant the other day. So cute!
Love the Christmas 🎄 napkins, the stockings and the word search tags!
Thank you so much!
Instead of a wooden bowl, I use a varying sizes of glass vases & greenery & berries.
I actially do like the balloon ornament. 😂
Definitely going to add a garland to our tree. 🎄
Thank you. ❤
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.
I also get foam from boxes we get in the lab.saves money or bubble wrap
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.
That's a great idea to put it in their stocking!
You always have great hacks and new DIY’s. I love the simplicity of the decor on you mantle. The Christmas tree shaped napkins are adorable. Have a fabulous Friday! 😊
Thank you so much Patricia!
Yes nice idea for changing colors yearly
I’ve never seen so much paper wasted! That being said nice video
Blessings always
Thanks for watching Beth!
I do this with bubble wrap sheets👍😇
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. 💖
What a wonderful idea!! Go You!!! 🎉✨🎊 That would work well for younger children too. ♥
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.
Drives me nuts to watch anyone do this!
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. ❤
@@carlaamanda86
It’s not waste if you repurpose it. Crafters usually do.
I love all these ideas ❤
You are so talented. Love these holiday decorations. ❤
Thanks, Liz!
Thanks for watching April!
On the fake candle could you use / make a plate made out of the peppermint candy. And use for a cute base ?
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
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!
You are so creative Liz!
Thank you so much!
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.
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!
@@lizfenwickdiy That sounds pretty, can't wait.
Great ideals! Thanks Liz.
Thanks!
For the gift soap, tie q little tag with the refill instruction on the back, and make a shoelace bow instead of cuttings
Thanks!
Love the foaming soap... can you use any kind of handsoap?
I did notice that a lot of these hacks were from last year.
Loved all the hacks. Blessings 😊 🙏 ❤
Thanks for watching Cynthia!
I love ALL of it!! Thanks for sharing😊
Thanks for watching Susan!
The tag pipe cleaner gift wrap hack is a great idea; especially, for children and elderly and mentally challenged adults and children. Thanks you.
Liz amazing DIY’S
Thanks Tonya!
You have some great ideas ,I love what you do 😋
Good work I like everything you do ur so creative
And, hobby lobby still has Christmas on sale - half off - till the Saturday.
Liiiiiiiiiiz, you're making me want M&Ms, darn it!
Haha!
The marshmallow snowflake stole my heart! ❤😂
No balloons over ornaments here, we have dogs.... and everyone knows what happens with balloons and animal hair! 😅
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!
Haha I love tha!
This must be an American thing mostly we don't goo to this extreme in Australia usually just the tree and a garland or 2 around and that's that the table there's no decorations because it's usually a BBQ in the back yard very laid back affair but it's the best I find everyone is relaxed eating when they feel like it and having a few drinks children running around with their new toys
Some of the best hacks! Color coding gift giving, marshmallow snowflakes, might try that pinwheel wrapping!
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.
Good idea!
Love the cluster of ornaments idea! Not only does it give it the illusion of a bigger ornament but it looks beautiful.
Thanks!
Me too I am going to do this one for sure!
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.
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
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 🙃😉😊
I have a question about doing the clear Christmas ornam it, the one with the balloon. After doing what u did do u think that we could decorate it??
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.
Yes!!!
I wrap my whole family in different paper so I know who's is who
I think the decorated table needs a tablecloth or a table runner
Love the pocket in the gift-wrapped present!!!❤❤❤
Thanks!
Use matte tape when you are using craft paper as wrapping paper.
Absolutely stunning. I love the wide pink ribbon with the gold open weaved ribbon on top! This was a great tutorial
I love how versatile this months Altenew release it! Those cards were beautiful
OMG love your videos 🎥
Omg I LOVEEEE your ornaments that you put in the bin with the topper. They were gorgeous!!
Rubbing alcohol takes glued or sharpie price labels off
Hi I think the mantil looks boring it needs to be livened up with more colour specifically red I think
Sounds like you’re going to the “extreme”. Lol 😂
Why cut a piece out of the middle of something, when it would be thriftier and more sensible to cut from one edge? I ended up missing a lot of the next segments because I was so taken back by the wastefulness. Obviously good stewarship of money is not a concern here.
I have that same issue with so many DIY/crafters on YT! Drives me nuts! 😂
I was just drooling over your mantle and that section came up in the video! 😂 It is absolutely beautiful ❤ I just Love it! The height of the greenery in the center tapering to each end is so beautiful!! And the pics add so much!! Im screen shotting your mantle and emailing your video to myself so I can try something similar on mine! Thank you for the inspiration ❤❤❤
On the row where the like button is - if you scroll that to the left there’s a button you click “save” and you can save it to a playlist for keeping!! I have so many videos saved to an “ideas” playlist. Haha. Hope this helps!! ❤❤
… or just make a big pancake and use the cookie cutters to cut out shapes much easier 😉
Instead of cutting the wicker Basket you could have just put The plant inside of the basket
Great ideas! Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you for this video. I saw many new ideas. I appreciate all your efforts. For those of you who are critical, hit the stop button. Or better yet, make your own video so we can see all of your ideas. Kindness people!
This video is full of so many great ideas and hacks. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us.
I was just wondering where you purchased the red blanket with the white reindeer that’s on your sofa that you replaced with the neutral one???
❤
Love the gift wrap cutter. I have had one for a couple years. Game changer!!
My beautiful mom, taught me how to wrap presents like a professional artist!
What was the link to the free crossword builder? Please? Thank you for your videos, they are such fun!
Here it is! worksheets.theteacherscorner.net/make-your-own/crossword/
@@lizfenwickdiy Thank you!
I love all of these hacks! Thank you! ❤😊
Love that wreath/scarf business!❤
Thanks!
I love doing this. We have so many nieces and a nephew and this is how I always do their gifts.
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.
Thanks for the tip!
Try 100% white paper old fashioned shelf ! Comes in two widths, lots of yards. Add fab ribbons and/or stamp decorations ( 🖍️ crayon drawings ) anyone!
Pipe cleaner wrapping can double as an ornament hanger. Or hang along railing / mantle garland
I did not even think about that!
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.
Awesome!
1:29 coolest wrapping technique EVER!!
Absolutely amazing ideas- love all of them
Great hacks! Love the mantle 😍
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.
Best gift list ever! My family had a keychain similar to the door knocker and you never knew who’s keys it would turn up on next!
Why double sided paper?
I loved the little M&M package with the pipe cleaner hack. Wouldn't the little loop make it easy to hang on the tree as an ornament?
Possibly, I am nervous it might rip!
the link for the command doesn't show the one you use. can you please list the link thank you!!!
Instead of putting clear ornaments in a balloon, just buy ornaments in the colors you want.
😮WARNING: THOSE SMART PLUGS HAVE BEEN KNOW TO GREATLY EFFECT DOGS AND CATS. They emit a low frequency sound that has been known to drive dogs and cats crazy and even making them sick. If you get one and a Pet becomes ill or acts weird, unplug it.
😮
I stink in gift wrapping. You're 😮Blessed lol
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!! ❤
What is the name of the command strips you used to hang greenery on your mantle I can’t find them.
love your crafts thanks for sharing. i enjoyed everything
To knock off the red warning light, (time to replace the filter) you press & hold the on/off button for 3 seconds, (count 1, 2, & on 3 lift your finger off). The red light will go out/off.
N.B. I have the Levoit mini, I gently vacuum the air purifier & filter, (use low setting, or use a mini computer vacuum cleaner) - but don't rub/brush the folds of the filter. I also tap it & dry dust it regularly with a microfibre cloth very carefully. - But always switch off the air purifier first, (or pull the electrical lead out at the back). -
I hope that I've helped someone.
