Upcycled Gift Wrap


Ready to go into the Upcycled Hampers for Christmas - "can ya tell what it is yet?" (Yes, I admit it, I loved Rolf Harris as a kid!)  The gift tags and flower bows (click here for a tutorial) are made from various papers left over from another series of upcycling projects and the ribbon is a by-product of unwanted videos.  Even the packaging is upcycled - they used to be Primark bags and plastic wallets!  It was Danny Seo himself that inspired me to make ribbon from video cassette tapes - although as to his video demonstation where he promptly takes a hammer and smashes the cassette to bits, I just used a tiny screwdriver and undid all the screws (and saved them) - I'm yet to be inspired as to how to use the empty cassettes, but I do have an idea for the cases.
