DIY WRAPPING
SHEET MUSIC
Wrapping up a token for a music
lover? Try using vintage sheet
music in place of traditional paper
and embellishing it with a little
bell or a guitar pick. These pages
are also great to line envelopes for
your holiday cards. Just trace the
shape of the flap onto the paper,
cut it out and stick with doublesided tape. Other bold options: Old
maps, foreign-language books and
antique cookbooks.
YARN
Wrap colorful yarn several times around your
gift, taping it securely on the bottom. Then
wrap a contrasting color across the package
in the other direction, weaving it over and
under the first piece of yarn to create a pretty
basket effect. This looks intricate, but it only
takes minutes, we promise.
PAINT CHIPS
Most of us have a few paint
chips leftover from our last
home improvement project,
and these are perfect to add
a splash of color to a simply
wrapped gift. To create a
fabulous paint chip bow,
just bend the strips in half,
forming loops, and tape the
ends to the center of the
gift in a radiating circle.
Alternate and overlap with
additional loops, trimming
the ends shorter as you get
to the center.
