A Cozy Christmas: Gift Wrap
For this project I was excited to use some dated wooly sweaters on some of the packages.
Cozy Gift wrap:
I simply cut off the arm and slid the box thru so it was nice and snug. As you can see on the first picture I tied the remaining wool into a bow, and in the third picture just used a panel of the fabric for a different look.
Recycling can feel so good, thrifty and festive.
Do you have any tips for the season?

Very, very cool.

Love this. Of course you’re an expert gift wrapper.

This is a great repurposing idea! Did you have to treat the edge of the wool to keep it from fraying further?

These are by far the prettiest packages I’ve seen. I pinned the first long ago (before I found your blog). I’m so glad I’ve found the creators ;-)
