This year I thought I'd try to save paper and wrapped some of my http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=142901.0]presents in tea towels which I printed with snowflakes (using stencils I made):



Two presents in one, really.

wonderful idea!
i've often used cute fabric to wrap baby presents in.. but this is even better- then you get to use the 'wrapping' later!

your tea towels came out terrific!
good job!

I love this! Can I ask how you keep it from coming undone?

In what way undone? If you mean the parcel, that actually stayed together quite well. I guess the towels were quite stiff.
