So is it dehoarding? Or unhoarding? Using up my hoard. Whatever.
What a cool theme for a blog hop over at PTI. "Felt and Fabric Wrap." How cozy does that sound? And do you know the Three Cool Chicks who are getting trendy this week? These ladies rock. And they are brave souls who admitted that they're hoarders. (I usually wimp out and say I "recycle...")
Anyhoo, friend's birthday is coming up Friday. Got her a Brothers Grimm book (whole nother story) - so figured it was time to give it a wrap.
I am thrilled to present:
Cuz I love me some polka dots. And lots of "recycling". Where, you ask? Packing paper, lace curtain flower layer, wall tatoo flower stems, cookie packaging corrugated white cardboard die cuts. And for me nothing is more signature PTI than those little die cuts... They were part of my first PTI order this summer.
New items include the fabric (which my friend will certainly use again cuz she's good like that ;), felt and buttons. And technically the red yarn, although I've had that for a bazillion years.
Thanks for hopping by. Looking forward to seeing what you wrapped up.

This is so fun and happy. Love how you incorporated those dies in your packaging.
Great 'recycling' project!! The wrapping looks so fun, who'd want to open it!! I really like the way you used the red yarn and wrapped it around the package several times. Very cool look!
Quite impressed! I love what you used! Especially the cookie packaging. Give me a reason to eat some cookies!!
This is fantastic, Maria! I love the beautiful colours and the way you strung those die cuts. Thanks so much for stopping by during the Lil' Inker Designs September Release Hop!
Beautiful presentation. Love the stringing of the tiny tags.
Love the crisscrossed red yarn over the fabric - super wrap job!
