broke college girl problems

what's a girl to do when she needs to gift wrap something and has no gift wrap? this of course! a free and green alternative to going out and buying MORE paper. lord knows i don't need anymore of that. 4 years at a scrapbooking store fulfilled that need. 

the only supplies i used were: 1 trader joe's brown bag, tape, scissors, and a stapler. in order to make the bow/flower just cut strips about 1 inch thick, pull both ends in to make 2 loops and staple! then criss-cross them however your little heart desires .
