gift wrapping time

I am not at all an expert with wrapping gifts and presents, but I like to try to decorate gifts and etsy orders as pretty as possible. I know how exciting it is to receive gift in a mail in pretty wrapping papers and ribbons!

So here is what I do usually - I get pretty wrapping papers from store - I tend to go for pink all the time, not sure why. This one in the picture is double sided with two different tones of pink.
Then I cut the paper (this kind of paper is thick, and not easily ripped) in whatever the size I want, and fold it in half. Next I sew the sides together with a sewing machine to create a bag.

Voila! Send it with hand written message and my business card♪

I found some flickr users wrapping gifts really pretty. Here are some.

e&w wrapping idea. I like two different ribbons going around on top of hand drawn card. so pretty!
