I’m coming at gift wrap from a bit of a different direction today with this clever craft idea by Cathe Holden for Country Living. She takes pretty wrapping paper and transforms it into decorative tape that you can use to embellish everything from scrapbook pages and handmade cards to invitations. And you can even take the idea full circle and use the pretty strips of gift wrap to add a little pizzazz to wrapped packages.

Get started on making your very own spools of decorative tape with the step-by-step tutorial over at Country Living.
