I decided that being the thrifty one that I am, that I would try and bring a little bit of nature into my wrapping theme, and picked up a bottle of gold spray paint for £1.69, and went to the park to collect a bag of leaves!

I then simply added a leaf to parcel like this. You can either just tape it on, or you could put a stitch in it to make it neater and more secure. You could also use a rubber stamp to add the initial or name of the gift recipient. I LOVE this pom pom ribbon which I got from ImagineDIY.

Love all of these gift wrap ideas! Mint and gold is one of my favorite color combos right now too.
ReplyDeleteLove it! And there are definitely worse obsessions than a pom pom one. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - a mellower, and prettier, version of that other great combo: black and gold
ReplyDeleteSuch a great colour combo. Definitely like and feminine but still grown up.
