Gift Wrap Wednesday #2 ~ Webdings Wrapping Paper

So you're stuck at the office and you suddenly remember that you forgot to wrap that birthday gift sitting in your car!  Don't panic.  Here's a great way to wrap up your package using things that can be found in your cubicle:

Feather Pencils (DIY)

Here is a quick way to spice up boring office supplies: feathers!

Geode Necklace (DIY)

My favorite subject in elementary school was probably geology.  I love rocks and I REALLY love that geology inspired designs have been popping up in high fashion.  While browsing Chanel's website, I stumbled across these gorgeous geode pieces and had an epiphany: 

I could make one of these....

Cupcake Ring (DIY)

Can you find cute little goodies at the hardware store? Yes! 

The base of this cupcake ring is a wooden 3/8” RH Plug- and it just happens to be the perfect size and shape to become a teeny little cupcake.

Neon Mustache Journal (DIY)

These journals were inspired by my friends Nikki and Mitch, who also love mustaches.

Victorian Match Boxes (DIY)

When my friend Molly and her husband moved into his Grandmother's house to help care for her, I was beyond jealous.

Love canvas shoes? Hate how quickly they become dingy? Then this project is for you!

Bohemian Sandals- From K-Cup Filters (DIY)

The Keurig coffee maker is my best friend.  

We get together several times a day to make coffee, tea and instant oatmeal.

Easter Gifts from Office Supplies (DIY)

Whenever I work at my mother-in-law's office, my mind wanders to the things I could make with her supplies.  If you are stuck at work and need to make some quick Easter basket stuffers, everything you need is right there in your desk.

Mini Terrarium (DIY)

Over the years, I've been lucky enough to work in a few different greenhouses.

Spending my day in the fresh, calming atmosphere was so revitalizing, like a private little place just for me.  These mini terrariums are 1.2" to 1.6", the perfect size to add to your own doll sized greenhouse.

Jewelry Tree (DIY)

Start this project with a long nature walk to search for the perfect branch!  Your branch should have lots of little branches and look like a miniature tree.  The stick I used is about 18 inches tall, but it can be what ever size you like.   A dead branch is best for this project since the wood is already dry and the tree it came from no longer needs it.
