Simple Gift Wrap Idea - Marci at Stone Cottage Adventures

Inspiration Cafe is pleased to welcome back Marci from Stone Cottage Adventures with a unique and great looking gift wrap idea...just in time for the holidays too!


Would you like a simple, easy-to-open, gift wrap idea?

This box was still sturdy, but, well, OK, it looks kind of scruffy.

Using two sheets of zebra duct tape and just a little red... 

Goodbye, Scruffy!  Hello, Snazzy!

Sticking square duct tape on a square box is pretty simple.  I did not worry about the ends.

One corner of the box has a ding, AND the zebra wasn't quite big enough for the whole top.  It needs a little color anyway.  So, I added a zip of red!

Here's my gift!  It hopped right into the box with some red tissue paper and a couple of candy canes!  Hello, Snazzy!
