diy wrappping

My favourite way to wrap presents at any time of year is to use simple brown paper and ribbons or string. Pinterest has proven to be a great source of inspiration again for variations on this theme, showing that wrapping can be personal, original but thrifty...

I love the idea of using paint colour cards as vibrant gift tags, or machine-sewing envelopes from book pages, or just wrapping lace and string round brown paper.
