Alright onto today's topic! I am sharing with you how I do my gift wrapping. Using the good old kraft paper and giving it a little twist with the the scallop edge. Here are what you will need:
- Kraft paper. Bought mine at Staples for $5/roll and it usually lasts me at least 2 years.
- Newspaper or the Penny Saver.
- Jute Twine
- Ribbon from the Dollar Store
- Any scallop edge punch. I used a Martha Stewart one. I don't remember how much I got this for, maybe $6-$7 with my 40% coupon from Michaels.
- Circle cutter
- Letter charm $1 from Target. Target has a huge selection of package charms at $1 an item. I saw a pack of 4 snowflakes for $1. Can't beat that!

Oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE pretty wrapping... though it makes it VERY hard to not open.. :) I have the same Martha Stewart Punch I used it on a Tag Swap.. I am not a Paper Crafter so I had no idea how to use the thing... I kept getting those little Breaks in between the Scallops... I would love for you to share this at http://shoprubyjean.com/2011/12/sew-crafty-tuesday-linky-party1/

Very, Very beautiful!Love them all! Ok this could be a stupid question, but how do you keep the edging so even with the puncher? The wrapping would make me not want to open it up to see what's inside! So pretty, Thanks so much for sharing your inspiration over at Sunday's Best! Make sure you come back now.

Wow! I have been using craft paper, twine and creamy white velvet ribbon to wrap gifts this Christmas. All stuff I already had around the house, which has been a fun way to decorate without the big price tag. I never thought of punching the edge...it is BEAUTIFUL!!

Your packages are lovely! And I like that you can find kraft paper made from recycled content, that's good for the environment.

These are quite lovely. I love wrapping packages in brown paper as well. I like the lacy effect you got with the paper edgers. I must try that.
There is nothing nicer than brown paper packages tied up with string!...certainly one of my favourite things! Love the scalloped edging, it adds such a professional touch - beautiful!
What great ideas! And, I agree, brown craft paper is limitless and so easy to jazz up! Don't forget to come on down and share this at the Head to Head Showdown! ~Jen @ www.icantstopcrafting.blogspot.com

Those are beautiful. Someday, when I'm not nursing, I might try something crafty like this. This year I did good to just get the paper on the presents.
