This is borderline ghetto, cheapskate, whatever you want to call it gift wrapping but I needed something big to wrap a vintage globe for my other life partner's birthday. A vintage globe that I so selflessly gifted to her instead of selling it in my shop because that is how big of a saint I am.
Whoa. Dodging lightening bolts here. Scary.
I took a white box from work, a black sharpie, some scissors and some polk-a-dot satin ribbon and made a some-what obnoxious gift box/fun house out of all of that. And yes, some tissue paper of course. I got the idea to do a scalloped edge because I couldn't shut the box all of the way over the the globe. It worked out perfectly. I poked a few wholes at equals heights on opposite sides to tie the ribbon through for handles.
The globe is pretty old. We figured it can't be any younger than 1945 because it still has
Yugoslavia on it and also the USSR. It's exactly like the one I found for
myself.
Check out The Shop - did you know that I put more feather boho clips in it?
