Wrapping Gifts

...in vintage wallpaper! 


Okay, I know this is the crummiest photo ever...dark and shiny...but can you get a look at this paper?  I am just in love with it!  I thought I would wrap bunches of gifts with it, but now I'm not sure that I want to use it all up right away.

I found this wallpaper over the summer when I went to the Great American Yard Sale.  I think it was pretty much the whole roll...we also bought some used tennis balls and something else...all for $5.  How can a person go wrong?? 

I didn't even know what I would do with the wallpaper when I bought it.  Then, it struck me...wrap some gifts!!

Can you imagine wallpapering a whole room with this stuff?  I'm not sure you'd be able to turn any lights on because they would just reflect off of the paper.  Maybe I'll be able to get a better photo tomorrow, because it really is so pretty.

Amazing! Sure beats my "I'm spending as little as possible at target on one roll of paper" paper! lol. Mine's not too glorious. Kudos for adding a bow and everything! :)

That is a GREAT looking present. However, that wallpaper wasn't so great in the bathroom.

I think that's the same wallpaper we had in our 1960's house. LOL

ooooh nice.

Remember the flocked wallpaper from the 70's - that stuff would be wicked to wrap gifts in too. Wish I could find some.
