Pretty Papers, Ribbons and Bows...Gettin' Creative with Gift Wrapping...That's a WRAP!

With the holidays fast approaching (only 42 days till the BIG day) I thought it would be fun to do a little "google" search for fun, funky, recycled and creative gift wrapping ideas.  Below are my Creative Pretty Paper Finds...maybe they'll inspire your wrapping this season...I know I have found inspiration!

Festive Envelopes . . . Great for Gift Card Giving

These handmade envelopes, fashioned from magazine pages and wrapping paper, are great for holiday letters or flat gifts, such as CDs. Unfold a regular envelope. Choose patterned paper larger than the envelope (or stick mismatched pieces together with glue). Trace the envelope onto the paper, fold (use envelope as a guide), and secure with glue stick. If mailing, add a label.

Newspaper with a Peppermint Flower Twist
