Last year I spent the month of September looking ahead to the holidays and trying to get prepared.  Here are some links from the archives that are good anytime of the year.

I love boxes and fun ways to wrap gifts.  This year I am going to make more of an effort to use recycled items. I think my pillow box template would be cute made from colorful cereal boxes.  These boxes are great when you are in a pinch and need something quick. You can always print the template out on printed card-stock.

I am excited to do more Furoshiki.

  1. You have some of the coolest, amazing and original ideas! Since stumbling upon your site I’ve made a ton of teachers happy and I continue to add to my “projects” list. Thanks for your awesome ideas and instructions!

  2. I love ideas like this and am firmly convinced that lovely packaging will improve any gift, especiall if it is thrifted (cough*used*cough*). I linked to this on my weekly roundup – post is under my name. Thanks!

  3. I can’t believe the holidays are almost upon us. I love your fabric box. I can see where this would be great to help organize things throughout the house. Thanks!

  4. I am so happy that you are inspirering us now…but Cindy just think how happy you would make everyone if you came up with a couple of different sized patterns for the fabric boxes. Fabric and grommets – that alone should get you inspired! pretty please!

  5. Cuuuute!!! I’m a firm believer that the packaging is everything for a gift. Cute wrapping and bows are a gift in themselves!
