The Fridge

For my first official blog post, I'd like to brag, not so much about the gifts I brought people this season, but how I wrapped them. I combined my frugal (read: cheap) nature and my inclination towards recycling to get creative. 

I wrapped gifts in old newspaper...which is nothing new...folks have

 been wrapping stuff in newspaper for decades (i.e. raw meat, press and curls, doggie poo). But I like to think I took it a step further by creating ribbons and bows from cut strips of paper in styles similar to those you buy at the store. Take a look:

I did a number of other styles, but these are the best.

I'm quite proud of myself.

While I'm sure people can figure out how I did it, I'll post a diagram of how I made the ribbons anyway.
