Gift wrapping goodness!

I think it's safe to say I have a slight addiction to wrapping paper, bows and ribbons...I have a surplus of all these supplies that has lasted me for years! Even though I really haven't needed to buy any for the last few years I still do... (I always buy wrapping paper after Christmas when its 75% off)

I love wrapping presents. I usually end up wrapping other peoples gifts for them! So when I was wrapping a birthday present this week and realized that I had NO ribbons or bows I couldn't believe it! I had to get crafty.One of my biggest pet peeves is all the leftover scraps that you have after you wrap a gift. I hate wasting them so this is what I came up with!




I just cut the paper scraps into strips (of all different sizes) folded them in half then taped them together at the ends. Stacked a few rows of them on eachother and then stapled the middle together.

I know it's not the craftiest creation but I think they turned out pretty cute and now I don't have to waste my scraps!
