If Maria von Trapp can make clothes out of curtains, we can certainly
think up imaginative ways to wrap a gift. Herewith, a few of our crafty
favourites.
Material Girl
Fabric is always a lovely alternative to
paper. Those old Toile de Jouy cushion covers would work beautifully, or
how about cutting out the wine stain from an out-of-use table cloth and
using that? If the collars and cuffs are looking tatty on your chaps
shirts, you could up-cycle them too.
Gift Wrap
If you like the idea of the wrapping being a gift
in itself, why not opt for a Marimekko tea towel or chic vintage silk
scarf?

Newspaper is a good one too. I like
Corriere dello Sport and the Financial Times because theyre pink!
Kitchen Aid
Your kitchen drawers are likely filled with
possibilities. Parchment paper stenciled with glittery stars is so
pretty and festive.
Gift tags are so easy to make, and remember, most things look better
with a bow on top. Athena Tsavliris
