French Labels

It's my friends birthday this week and I've made her a present

which, as she hasn't opened it yet, I will have to wait for another day.

The problem was as she was coming over for coffee I had to wrap it quickly.

and I had no wrapping paper or even

brown paper left after Christmas and no time to buy any.

What I have got is loads of old french magazines so decided to 

use one of these to

make a paper bag,  which l really liked the look of.

Now I just needed a label  to complete the look.

So I raided my drawers and found

some luggage labels which was a bit boring and didn't quite

go with the look.

Back to the magazine and pick a picture.

Pick a luggage label and take off the string.

Stick it to the back of the magazine and smooth down

so no creases or bubbles

Cut it out with a sharp craft knife and 

re -attach the string

 and voila--as the french say.

I got a bit carried away.

 But my friend was thrilled with her present, lets hope she likes the 

contents as much.

Enjoy your day, I'm off to Lowestoft for Sunday lunch.

See you soon.
