Brown paper packages tied up with scraps!

Here's yet another lovely wrapping technique. I copied got this idea from my good friend, Dawnie. (She's an awesome wrapper, btw.)

First-go pick up some scraps from your basement floor-or pick up a pretty sheet from the 15 cent rack at Goodwill. (You don't have to be a person who sews to use this idea.) Second, snip your fabric or sheet with sissors-however wide you want your ribbon to be-and start tearing. Tada-now you have a ribbon for your brown paper packages.

Don't have a roll of brown craft paper? Use a paper grocery bag. Don't have any paper grocery bags? Choose paper not plastic the next time you get groceries.

You're welcome!!!
