Homemade Wrapping Paper

Today we made wrapping paper for Solstice and Christmas gifts. We used the backside of paper grocery bags, torn apart and laid flat.

We (well, I) cut shapes into potatoes to use as stamps.

After it was done, we added a gift tag recycled from one of last year's cards.

you are so damn crafty! I would never be able to carve designs in potatoes like that!
