Simple Christmas

[wrapping paper]

Anyone interested in one-of-a-kind, super-cool looking wrapping paper? 

Supplies needed:

an old book that won't be read again

(thrift stores are a great place to find books just ready and waiting to be re-purposed. Just make sure it's not so old that the pages break upon getting bent!) 

+ 

bright red thread

+

a sewing machine

Simply take the pages apart and then sew...sew...sew...

until you get a large enough sheet to use for your gift.

I had fun using both a straight and zig-zag stitch to add variety. 

add some red ribbon and a cute tag

and there you have it!

And I couldn't resist posting a picture of my helper, who had a blast entertaining herself with my ribbon bag. {grin}
