Life at Home: Holiday Gift Wrap

This holiday season have fun wrapping your gifts with a diy style 
that will certainly be the star under every tree!

Use brown craft paper or recycle a paper grocery bag as your palette to style the perfect gift. I always search the house first to use what I don't have to purchase; paper bags, stamps, ribbon, colored pens, twine, yarn, paper scraps or old wrapping paper scraps. All of these are useful items that when put together can create something special.
I always save scraps from other gift wrap or crafting paper 
and then use them by creating a band to add a pop or texture, patter or color.

 I am a knitter and I always have left over scraps of yarn. With this diy trick you can use these scraps instead of tossing them! Gather a hand full of yarn between your finger and thumb, tie a tight knot and cut the ends! Use the same yarn to act as the ribbon.
