  1. Love that Map bow! Off to look up the tutorial πŸ™‚ Thrift shops often have a ton of old maps and they also make great wrapping paper, so I’ve started to collect some. I hadn’t considered the bows!

      1. What a great way to recycle damaged children’s books! So many have crayon in them – I will have to try that next year! Can’t imagine using a botanical print, LOL – I love beautiful paper way too much! πŸ™‚

  2. Nice roundup! I don’t have the affinity to traditionally wrap a perfect present and my husband would mostly wrap all the presents… But now that I’ve been crafting for a while I really enjoy wrapping presents! However, they are pretty imperfect and messy but somehow when I’m done I’m pretty pleased πŸ™‚ Cheers!
    PS: This year, I’m going with white kraft paper and traditional kraft paper and I’ll decorate them with tags I made or something else. I never know how they will turn out πŸ˜‰
