I wrapped some old books to give my lanterns a little more height.
This herringbone pattern is just too much fun. I want to wrap everything in it! I wrapped each book in a different direction just to add a little extra interest.
From a distance, at first glance, they look like decorative boxes. I love simple inexpensive updates. It took all of maybe 10 minutes to wrap 4 books. Wrapping paper has got it going on right now. I can't wait to show how I used the other print I scored!
Have any pretty papers jumped into your shopping cart lately?
Well I know what I'm picking up at Target next time!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I banned myself from Target for the week, but I just might have to sneak in there!
ReplyDeleteThose look darling. My hubby just asked the other day why we have so much wrapping presents followed up by, "We don't give that many gifts." Oh, dear. It's for things like this!!!
ReplyDeleteCute! I thought about wrapping my books (all of them) last night when I had my kraft paper out but the process seemed too daunting. But I could just start with a few, right? :)
