Supplies:
Brown paper, brown paper bag, wrapping paper
yarn
cool cutting scissors
Instructions:
1. Wrap your present like normal except cut the edge that will fold over with the cool scissors. The spot you apply tape to hold it in place is where you will tie the yarn to so only put one piece of tape on this side.
2. Cut lots of Yarn strips long enough to wrap around the gift and tie.
3. Tie on all the pieces of yarn, be annoyed at how many pieces you cut, start to second guess yourself on wrapping a gift like this.
4. Trim the ends so they are all the same length(ish)
5. Take back all the previous annoyance you had at wrapping like this because it looks awesome.
6. Put on all the star stickers from your Jolyn Gift Tag sticker pack, and add a gift tag too.
