Hello peeps! October is a busy time for me with lots of birthdays to celebrate.
I was getting ready to mail a package that included a birthday present. Like all things paper, I just love some of the paper napkins that are available.
This is the second time that I've used a paper napkin for wrapping. Underneath the gift is the package of napkins. I find them at Tuesday Morning, a discount store in Santa Fe. I think they are all over the United States but am not sure.
In the next photo you can see the beautiful pattern when the napkin is unfolded.
I have another idea for these napkins. I just don't know if I have enough of them. It will be an interesting experiment, to say the least!
What about you? Do you have a special way of wrapping? I know some people attach a little charm to the bow -- I LOVE this idea.
Peace,
Kay
Wow, Kay, this made beautiful wrapping paper. Would never have guessed it was napkins. (We have Tues Morning here too). There's a technique using napkins fused to cardstock that you can find on Youtube, if you don't know about it. You did a great job with your pretty packages, and can't wait to see what your next idea is! Hope all is going well. Thinking of you. TFS, Hugs & happy Sunday evening.
ReplyDeleteHello Kay that looks so pretty. I am going to 'borrow' the idea. I don't have one special way of wrapping it all depends on who it's for, what I have to use (or remember I have :-))I do like wrapping presents though and making them look good. Anne x
ReplyDeleteWOW... I have never thought of using a napkin for gift wrap...What a brilliant idea I have some patterned ones in my stash... Thank you for the inspiration.... Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Makes for a very pretty package! I'll have to borrow this idea too. :) Now what are you up to with the rest of the napkins, hmm?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea of using napkins to wrap a gift. We used to have a Tuesday Morning here in our small town but lost it several years ago when the economy took a down turn. I really miss that store!
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty!! I don't hesitate to use scrapbook paper to wrap little gifts, but I've never though to use napkins. Fab idea.
ReplyDeleteKay, hello!!! So good to see you again - I've been so busy I haven't been visiting my blogger friends for ages. I always love seeing your creative projects - so gorgeous. I LOVE napkins to and they sure make for a terrific gift wrap. Brilliant idea!! Big hug to you ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful napkin and such a fabulous idea! My wrapping is always rubbish - I might use your napkin idea if that is ok? I have some napkins I have been meaning to use on canvasses and cards when I get round to it! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using the napkin as wrapping paper, Kay! Your suggestion is timely. I visited a friend in Colorado in September and she had beautiful large designer napkins as hand towels in one of her guest baths and I used one to make her a thank you card. It turned out so pretty. I'm not sure if you saw that card / post. Anyway, while there I visited a store that had a lot of them on sale so I bought a dozen packs ~ way more than I could use on cards, so I appreciate your idea as another way to use them!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely touch. My friend wrapped my present in a page from a calendar
