Wrapping It Up Naturally
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member simplysofie from the Su Casa group:

Wrapping Lesson 1: Go outside.

I went out for a walk with my dogs and this is what I found. My basics are craft paper, scissors, and tape. Keep it neutral when adding nature. I use a bit of wrapping paper and ribbon in these gifts but the natural elements are my bling. You don’t need to buy fake nature at a craft store, it’s free for the taking.

Sheesh, don't you love it! Invest in some baker's twine. It will last you forever. Supplies: craft paper, twine, a bit of wrapping paper, and nature.
