People Are Wrapping Their Gallery Wall Art In Christmas Paper
When it comes to home decor, there is no one-size-fits-all. This is particularly true for holiday decorations, which get arguably more and more creative every year with new trends and ideas popping up every day.
The most recent festive trick I stumbled upon is courtesy of Caitlin Pappas, the woman behind the interior styling and photography company, Nest Out West. For real truth in reporting, Caitlin says, this is really a trick she borrowed from her mom.

Caitlin recalls her mother's tradition in a recent Instagram post, "To make her living room more festive, [my mom] would always wrap all the framed art and-you'll laugh-the TV." Yes, she does, in fact, mean wrap in the holiday gift-giving way. Caitlin's mom would literally wrap her wall art in festive wrapping paper to be hung back on the wall like presents. Even doing the same to her television.
"She didn't want people watching the TV when we all could have (and should have) been more focused on catching up and having fun with each other," Caitlin shared on the post. "It always worked until one of my uncles wanted to turn on a big football game or college basketball game."
This year, Caitlin made a variation of her mother's DIY tradition in her and her husband's guest bedroom. While her husband wrapped each of the frames in pretty white and gold polka dot paper-quick shout out to him for being able to wrap so neatly-Caitlin crafted tiny handmade wreaths. In total, the craft ended up costing the price of a roll of wrapping paper, plus $3.99 for the wreath material at the craft store. Seeing as though you can probably wrap at least an entire room worth of art (unless, of course, you're wrapping your TV as well) with a single roll of paper, this festive project definitely pays off.
