Gift Packaging Ideas No. 4

Some more ideas for wrapping your gifts.   The first 2 images give a vintage look to your gifts using simple brown kraft paper, torn sheet music and string or lace ribbon.

Then there is a great tutorial for making rolled paper and felt flowers to use as toppers on your gifts.   Lastly a tutorial on cutting out shapes in your paper so you can bend half up and see a different colour underneath.

These look so much more effective than store bought wrapping paper and cheaper.   So it's a good idea  to always keep a roll of brown kraft paper in the house as there are so many ways to jazz it up.

Bakers Twine

Bakers Twine is a great replacement for ribbon when it comes to decorating gifts, packages and other craft.   It's soft and comes in the most wonderful colours so you can easily match your packaging and gifts with it.

We sell 5 colours in our store at present:   blue, yellow, orange, green and red. There is approximately 100 metres per spool so you will get plenty of gifts wrapped with one spool.

Coconut Oil

Recently I came across the many benefits of using coconut oil, I never realised just how good coconut oil was for you either consuming it, using it in beauty products and oil pulling which I have just begun.

So I have bought a couple of great books which I have listed below and I have been searching for other things to do with this wonderful product.

There is a wonderful body butter , with only 3 ingredients, how easy is that. It's nice to start using natural products on our skin instead of all the chemicals which seem to be in just about everything.  Click on the link below to see how to make it.
