messyart: All Wrapped Up....

All Wrapped Up....

I love wrapping gifts almost as much as i love bying them. But sometimes the wrapping can end up costing almost as much as the gift itself. So this year i challenged myself to only use what i already had at home, as well as putting to good use some of those printable Xmas tags from here and here.

And this was the result....

{ please note: i think the kids got to some of the gifts, because in some of them you can notice little dents where the papers pushed in. Cheeky. I guess i should just nbe happy they didn't try and sneak a tear in to have a peaky! }

Can anyone guess what this pressy is?

;)

I have so many more wrapping ideas in my head, and so many more gifts to wrap. I am hoping to be able to do some more in the next few days, and will post more pics if i do. If i don't , then it means i will be doing what i do almost every Xmas eve....staying up obscenly late wrapping in a over-tired frenzy, vowing to myself that next year i WILL be more organised!

PS. I can do a post on how to make the paper flowers if anyones interested.
