Wrap it Up

I'm all over these stitched packaging ideas from Shimtokk for gifts this year. I've made a secret pledge to buy most gifts from thrift stores, estate sales or vintage shops for family and friends. Bonus challenge: Fancy up wrapping paper using recycled materials. I think sewing newspaper would look great, too. Shimtokk is participating in The Craft's Dept. Gift Wrap Challenge - head over there for tons of great ideas.
