Wrap Star 2

Here is a continuation from my original Wrap Star post from a couple weeks back.

I love gift wrapping and had to share this wrapping from a recent gift I gave my friend Robin.

I used a vintage piece of embroidered French linen from the $5 bin at the Alameda Flea Market and used it instead of paper so it is dual purpose; a small centerpiece/table cloth and wrapping paper. I added a pop of lime with the ribbon and finished the ends with a dove tail. Voila!

Wrap Star 3

I love wrapping gifts and when it came time for me to wrap a journal for a dear friend this morning, I thought...what can I do differently? Then I looked over at my mountain of fashion magazines and started flipping through for a great 2 page spread.

Here is what I came up with.

First cut out the two page spread and tape it together on the backside of what you are going to use. Then, line it up so the image you want on the front of your gift is in the right place and continue wrapping. I had a seam in the middle of the front of my gift so I just used a ribbon to cover it. That's it, cute gift wrap and green too!
