Colorful gift wrapping

The other day I went to a local craft shop that my brother works with very close and bought some (unbelievably expensive) great sheets of colored paper. Actually I was looking for something else but since they didn’t have it that paper was screaming “buy me, buy me! pretty blue! juicy pink! joyful orange! get me! get me!” Yeah. So… I got them all and since I have no use for paper right now *sigh* I wrapped up some mini purses that I’ve made for my girlfriends. Think it’s pretty cool to sew paper and I’ve never been a fan of plastic tape. So looking forward receiving my 10 rolls of pastel washi paper masking tape :-) which could be a nice addition to any gift wrap.
I used simple brown and blue packaging paper. The paper with the hearts is sold in stores right now as Valentine’s day is coming up. I cut random pieces of the colored paper and zig-zag stitched it on the paper. Fold. Zig-Zag stitch all around. Done in 10 minutes (per pack). Do you like it?
