How to Elevate Gift Wrapping with Dried Oranges and Greenery

How to Elevate Gift Wrapping with Dried Oranges and GreeneryIf you love thoughtful details, this gift wrapping idea is for you.

Using dried oranges, twine, and ribbon gives each package a rustic, eco-friendly charm that feels handmade with love.

Specially, it’s inexpensive and sustainable, since you’re decorating with natural items instead of plastic bows.

Each gift becomes a keepsake in itself, something the receiver will admire before even opening it.

Materials Needed

  • Kraft paper or patterned wrapping paper (enough to wrap your gifts)
  • Dried orange slices (1-2 per gift)
  • Green ribbon or twine (18-24 inches per gift)
  • Fresh or faux greenery sprigs (such as pine or cedar)
  • Scissors
  • Optional: pinecones, small bells, or handwritten gift tags

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Wrap your gift in kraft paper or your chosen patterned paper. Then smooth out the edges neatly and tape securely.

Step 2: Cut a piece of ribbon or twine long enough to wrap around the gift and tie a bow. You now center it and secure with a knot.

Step 3: Slide a dried orange slice under the ribbon knot so it sits flat on the package.

Step 4: Tuck a small sprig of greenery behind the orange slice. Adjust so the leaves fan outward for a natural look.

Step 5: Tie the ribbon into a neat bow. If you’re using twine, double knot it for a rustic effect.

Step 6: Add finishing touches like pinecones, a small jingle bell, or a handwritten tag to personalize the wrapping.

Tips:

If your orange slice slips around, secure it with a dab of hot glue on the ribbon.

Mixing dark green and cream-colored ribbons gives a sophisticated layered effect.
