I made this one from a cereal box. I added some sheet music from a hymnal to the inside to hide the yellow inside of the box. I thought it would look like tissue paper peaking out the top. It's not fabulous, but for a quick project (and three kids pulling on my leg) it's alright.
And this one is the end of a spaghetti box. It's for a tiny little gift for MIL.
It's kind of a running thing in our family to try to out-do each other with eco-friendly wrapping the past few years. MIL used canvas bags one year, my mom used pretty fabric another year (which I've been using for sewing projects ever since). I think this will be a winner.
Thanks for the inspiration Maya!

Total winner!! Love it, Kellie.
I LOVE these ideas! My family decided next year we only give gifts we have made ourselves or just don't give anything. I love that.
They both look fantastic, Kellie! Aren't they so much fun to make? I made another one today, too!
I love the use of music sheets, and considered it, until I realized that I didn't want to cut up any of my sheet music lol.
beautiful :)
Don't you love everything Maya*made does. Your boxes look fabulous, and I'm so jealous that your family has an eco-wrapping competition. My mom called me on the way to my sister's to ask if I'd die if we used disposable cups all week. For the sake of family harmony I said I'd pretend not to notice.
Kellie,
You DEFINATELY win this year for eco friendly and ingenuity, when it comes to gifts and wrapping them. I never cease to be amazed and proud of my girl!! Love you, Mom P.
