I wanted to create an inexpensive way to decorate my mantel this Christmas, so I created these "gifts" using items from the thrift store!

I started with these empty picture frames from the thrift store- even cheaper because they didn't come with a glass pane.
And then I checked out the linens section at the thrift store- specifically, the area of napkins, placemats, and hand towels. Perfect- lots of holiday options!
To create a "gift", I opened up a napkin and placed my empty frame on top of it and carefully folded up the edges.
I attached the fabric to the back of the frame and trimmed off the excess. When I flipped it over, it was nice and smooth, like a canvas.
Then, I added strips of ribbon and a matching pom-pom bow. Looks like a gorgeous Christmas present, doesn't it?
Merry Christmas and happy decorating!

At last!! a way to use up those random scraps of l ribbon that aren't really long enough to use for much, but too long to (eeek!!) throw away!! Thank you for this wonderful idea :) Merry Christmas!!
