packaging

When you create something lovely you want to make sure it's packaged lovely too.

I have to admit this is something i struggle with.
I LOVE packaging
... and often bring bring items home that i don't need just because they look great!

My journals have always been wrapped pretty but to be honest i have used what i have.
Being lucky enough to be given a HUGE pile of pretty tissue paper this is what i have been using BUT this isn't my real "style".
I am more bright rainbows than pretty pastels.

So after a re-think my parcels will now be packaged in a way that (i feel) shows what i make and what i love.
This involves:
brown paper
coloured string
typed label
doilies
book pages
AND alot of love and care.
 
 In the meantime feel free to share your packaging ideas and links.

Love packaging. There is so many ways you can jazz up a gift. Love looking on Pinterest for inspiration.

Like you I have been given loads of tissue that I use to package my items and I add printed ribbon with Ellie's Treasures on to finish it off. Perhaps I need to have a look around Pinterest too - love your ideas, especially the doilies, that's brilliant.
