Now onto the Ladies design where you can glue little gems all over, or print the template out on pre-patterned paper that will fit your theme.

Gift Wrapping
Did you know that over 5 million tonnes of waste are generated over Christmas in the United States from gift wrapping paper alone. If we can wrap a present creatively and reduce waste everybody wins. Some people carefully unwrap so they can re-use their paper, this is something my Mum has done for years!
