DIY … gift wrapping

{Original}: I say : ‘Don’t be scared to use your creativity and more importantly reuse, look through your drawers in order to reinvent and personalise your gift-wrapping - DO-IT-YOURSELF - . Recycle materials such as newspaper pages, piece of ribbons, buttons and old trimmings……anything will do, you will be surprised by what can be achieved….

1.For the down to earth: reuse old packages and bags – decorate with raffia and pencils                                         

 2.For the sophisticated one: use fabric with golden sprayed leafs

1.For the vintage passionate: why not using some vintage or recycled tins to place your gifts ?             

  2.For the easy going: Simple white paper with hand printed personalised message
