Green Gift Wrap

Now I want to show you how green I went, when I wrapped my Mom's birthday present~

* But, first the window needs to be filled in!

I think a photo would look nice, here as well!

*I love Tim Holtz's tape!  I think every gift should come with a WISH!

I grabbed some frozen food paper bags when I was shopping.  I usually cut them open and use them outside when I apply spray paint.  Chalkboard paint and Washi tape are my latest go to products.

Elmer's tape is available where they sell Elmer's glue, at least this is where I found it!

You can find paper flowers in your local craft store.  I bought these ages ago. It is cheaper to invest in a paper punch and make your own.   I made a bunch when my brother and his fiance were getting married. 

I took just a few paint chips from my favorite home improvement store.

I am kind of well known in my family for using produce bags.  I use them for tags, as ribbon. I have been known to give orange bags with samples of Hot Chocolate n'coffee and individual wrapped Biscotti.  My family laughs at me. It all started when I ran out of ribbon one year, during the holidays.  I didn't have time to go get ribbon, so I stretched a produce bag and cut it.  It looked great on the package!  

I didn't plan on these colors, then I looked at the art I had made it and it matched!  

If I didn't have Washi tape I probably would of glued on ribbon to make it look pretty.  

Have fun being green! ;D
