Where has December gone?? I feel like a broken record. Every month around this time everyone is wondering where the month went. Time is a mysterious thing.... Anyway while we all are pondering on where the month went how about some wrapping! Tis the season right? Wrapping is a practical way to get you craftiness on.
A while back I made these super fab heart shaped brooches and I like to give them as gifts to random lovely ladies for their birthdays or for the holidays. I thought I'd show you how I wrapped this beauty up. I love this wrapping idea because it doesn't scream "Christmas" but it does scream "Happy Freakin' Holidays you cool cat" Am I right? Or am I right?......

So what you will need for this project is:
scissors
a toilet roll
paper (I used post-it paper)
tape
ribben or yarn or string
and a small gift.
Once you have cut you toilet roll to the appropriate size (note: you may not need to cut it down if you gift is a little bit larger, like a gift card or something) fold down the sides. See top left picture. You may need to secure the folds with tape. Before you fold down the other side place you gift inside.
Here comes the fun bit, decorating. So I made a neon fringe for mine but you can do what ever you want in the decorating department. You want to use Christmas colors? Go for it. You want to use fabric or wash tape to decorate? I'm not going to stop you. But if you do want the fringe this photo up above shows you how to get it done. Simply cut you paper with out going to the very end.
The last step is to tape or glue you decorations down and add the ribbon to bring in some texture. Voila you now have an adorable lil' gift! I hope you enjoyed this easy DIY project. I know this is a busy season but one thing I love about crafts is it helps me to slow down. Happy Wrapping everyone and I hope you have a great week!
