Wrapping gifts in brown paper

Sallys_Savings

I've used gold ribbon and a glass/gold bauble with the greeting either inside the clear bauble or the message written on the outside of the bauble.

I got mine (not in Surrey! ) from my local newsagents. You could also perhaps try your Post Office?

Hi Poppett

I did it just by tying them into a bunch with some ribbon or rafia.

Hope that helps.

How did you manage to attach the cinnamon and orange? This sounds lovely.

My youngest was recently going to party and I realised that we didn't have any suitable wrapping paper BUT we did have brown paper. 2 kids, some felt pens and 10 mins later and we had unique personalised wrapping paper which I thought looked really good!

I have also done the stamping with a silver star stamp and parcel tags written with silver pen.

I also bought some printed cellophane (from The Works discount bookshop) and put a layer of this on top of the parcel paper.
