Use wooden letter tiles to make a unique DIY gift wrap idea that's sure to stand out. These festive letter ornaments are easy to make with our tutorial.

Step
1

Sift through the wood alphabet tiles to find the letters you need to spell out your message. Here are some message ideas to get you going: Noel, Joy, Peace, or maybe the recipients name and use it as the gift tag on your package.

Step
2

Use a glue gun to adhere the wood letter tiles to 5/8″ ribbon. Cut the ribbon 6″ after the first tile and 2″ after the last tile.

Step
3

Glue the long end of the ribbon to the back of itself to create a hanger.

Step
4

To cut the short end into the perfect ‘V’, fold the ribbon in half. Starting with your scissors on the non-folded end, cut and a diagonal towards the fold. Unfold the ribbon and voila, a perfectly notched ribbon end.

Step
5

Tie a pretty bow and hot glue it to the ribbon directly above the first wood tile. You can either leave the ornament as is and hang it on your tree, or tie it directly onto a gift. To dress up your DIY gift wrap I like to wrap my packages with jute or baker’s twine. Adding this cute and decorative extra goodie to the top and wrapping them in kraft paper really make these gifts stand out from the crowd!
