Wrapping it up

 There really is nothing like getting a beautifully gift wrapped present. What's even better is when its not shop bought but has that delicious home made feel to it.

Woven paper gift wrap from minieco. It even comes with a tutorial, so no excuses.

 I'm a big fan of this one, using old pattern paper. You can underlay it with coloured tissue paper for varying effects. There are always old patterns for sale on ebay or at car boot sales.

Use old maps, even the ones you pick up in tourist offices when you're on holiday.

Old newspapers, and make your own bows too...
