It really is. Like a quilt I mean. Bits into strips, then strips into sheets. Come to think of it, I've never made a quilt, but I'm guessing that's what you do... maybe that wasn't a very good title if I end up being wrong. Oh well, that's how I did it. This wrapping paper is made from a Gap Inc. annual report, and an Anthropologie catalogue.
The how-to of it all is pretty self-explanatory, but one thing worth mentioning is that I used a glue stick. I've used spray adhesive before, but learned that it renders paper un-recyclable. Glues such as those found in glue sticks are fully recyclable.
I wish you all a happy holiday season!
i do the same with my catalogues! they always use really beautiful paper with the perfect 'crease-factor'... you know what i mean.
ReplyDeletei always love seeing which snippets of colour get to sneak through on the front :)
Agreed! And plus there's printing on the inside which can camouflage any box graphics that could potentially ruin the surprise.

ReplyDeleteThanks, John. I guess I can say what it was, now that i've given the gift: Reflect Bravo Three, Shear Delta One, Mumford & Sons CDs "Sigh No More" and "Babel," and a copy of Kinfolk Magazine Issue #6. They loved it.
