Homemade wrapping paper.

I love making my own wrapping paper. Sometimes I use Gemma's paintings or other artwork (you know you have plenty of THAT lying around) or I like to make my own. Here is one example of some wrapping paper I made for my grandmother's Mothers Day present. Its quite simple and looks very glamourous. This picture was actually taken after she had unwrapped the gift. The sequin ribbon originally went all the way around.


So, I actually incorporated some of Gemma's paintings by using them to make most of the flowers. 

Here is a great photo tutorial on how to make these flowers. They can be used for MILLIONS of crafts. 
I would love to give credit to whoever made this but I couldn't find the source!


Cut a circle, cut a swirly out of the circle, roll it up from the outside! That's it!

Anyways, I just used greenish scrapbook paper underneath, wrapped some dollar sequin ribbon I got at Michael's around it, and glued on the flowers. 

Simple. Beautiful.
