Colour Co-ordination

I was recently asked to buy a leaving gift for someone I didn't know very well. After finding the appropriate gift I struggled with how to wrap with is gift and keep it quite neutral.

I managed to find a neutral gift bag in my collection and took my cue from this. Brown paper and washi tape fitted the brief perfectly.

THE GIFT BAG

WRAPPED & WASHI TAPED

WASHI TAPE PATTERNS

The great thing about brown paper & washi tape it can really work well for nearly all themes and gifts. The patterns of washi tape don't need to match the gift bag either

It has been a while since my last post - as usual work and other commitments have kept me away from creating great wrappings but I thought I would post some fabulous things I've seen lately to serve as some inspirations
