Where the true magic happens.

My first published article!

Just incase it was a bad morning.

Eco-Friendly, EASY, wrapping!

           Every year I wrap my gifts in newspaper because not only is that better for the environment, but I think it looks very vintage, and home-made; a nice break from a highly commercialized holiday season. This year I decided to go a bit further with the eco-friendliness, and creativity. Here's a point form list of what I did:

• The bags where given to me from other gifts, and then reused.
• Instead of tissue paper, I used newspaper scraps from wrapping the other gifts.
• NO TAPE! There is no tape on any of these gifts. Tape is not recyclable, but paper with glue on it is fine.
• Instead of ribbons, I used organic hemp. To make it a bit more esthetically pleasing I doubled the hemp. I just tied the ends of the hemp together, then wrapped it just like I would any ribbon.
• The little gift-tag was a piece of recycled paper. The design was a Word Business Card template that I simply modified.

Magazines are by far one of my favorite things. The smell when you open a fresh glossy, the pure perfection on each page of a fashion editorial- I just love it! So I was having trouble getting rid of any magazines that had great advertisments (I love fashion ads, there is so much thought put into many of them), and editorials, etc. But at the same time, I hate keeping things that don’t have a proper use. So I came up with this idea to rip out the pages I liked, take a couple glue stickes, and just attack the wall. 6 gluestickes (I kid you not) and about 2 hours later….

I am proud of my little sanctuary.
