Baby Shower Gift Wrapping Ideas

When I was planning my sister’s rustic woodland baby shower, I knew I wanted to wrap my present in a way that matched the baby shower theme. I was also looking for something creative and easy since I was wrapping everything up at the last minute when I was packing things up to take to the shower.

Kraft paper (also known as butcher paper) is, of course, a favorite of mine. I love wrapping my Christmas presents in it and then getting creative with different bows and lettering on the packages. 

It is so versatile that you pretty much always need some around. I even created a kraft paper roll holder for our home office that we can use as a big to-do list and also grab kraft paper when we need to wrap a present.

I love how my lullaby baby shower gift wrap turned out! It’s so simple and can be varied with different quotes or songs for more than just baby shower gifts.

DIY Lullaby Baby Shower Gift Wrapping Idea

Step 1. Wrap baby shower gift.

Ok, let’s wrap stuff! First, you will wrap the present in your kraft wrapping paper and use decorative washi tape to secure it.

The actual present you’re wrapping will need to be in a box for this idea, so if you’re giving small gifts like baby socks, a baby blanket, baby clothes, or a diaper bag – throw it all in a box first.

Step 2. Add twine.

Next, wrap the twine around the package multiple times and vary the string at random angles. Finish by tying a bow with the two ends on the front of the package. 

Cut a small heart out of sheet moss and glue it to the wrapping paper under the twine.

Step 3. Write baby lullabies with Sharpie.

Lastly, finish by writing sweet baby lullabies on the front of the baby shower gift in a black Sharpie pen. You can also customize this cute gift with the baby’s name and sign it right there on the package so you don’t need to include a card.

I wrote out “Rock-a-bye-baby”, “Hush Little Baby” and “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”.

I just love how the baby shower gift wrap turned out and it seriously took me maybe 10 minutes to throw together. You can definitely use this idea for the next baby shower you attend!

The best part? It was FREE! I had all the supplies already on hand. Also, I didn’t have to buy or make a card, so I signed the outside of the package.
