    Hello Friend, I just love paper crafts. I’m always amazed at the pretty things you can make with paper. Add some paint and tape or glue and you can make beautiful things!! Thank you for sharing these ideas for wrapping gifts. The dried leaves and fruit is lovely! Couldn’t pick a favorite as I like the all!!
