Don't waste your ends!

Hi there. Laura here today.

Does anyone else get their lengths wrong when wrapping a present and end up trimming 3 or 4 inches off the ends of ribbon instead of the preferred half an inch?  I do ALL THE TIME!!

But I hate waste so I usually add them to a tag.  This way you get no waste and a pretty accessory for your beautifully wrapped parcel!  Here I've used 15mm Micro Dots in Shocking Pink as it was the perfect match to my paper.

Baby Socks!

Hi Chaps!  Laura here today to share a new baby gift and wrapping idea...

I picked a caterpillar and butterfly button from the Basics 2 Go pastel garden mix and pulled out some Lime Juice organza Swiss dot from the Baby Washing range.  I made simple bows and attached the button securely over the top with contrasting thread to a pair of new born socks.

I wrapped up with some spotty tissue paper and white and sunshine swiss dot ribbon.  I hand lettered a tiny tag with watercolours and attached with a length of 3mm satin ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today!
Laura
