This little tute came to mind after my last post regarding gift wrapping. Last spring I played with paper and fabric (helping Jacob with a craft project) and got the idea of sewing a fabric piece over a sheet of paper to make wrapping for my crochet flowers. I tried it and it looked great, and I didn't miss to take pictures.
Here's what is needed:
You need a fabric piece (scrap), a piece of paper and a sewing machine.
For the wrapping I used an A4 copy paper and a lovely and quite thin cotton piece. I sewed the fabric onto the paper ( seam allowance included).
Inside I placed the crocheted flowers...
and wrapped them nicely. I fastened the wrapping with a silk ribbon in the end.
If you have any ideas about fabric covered paper, please share them with me!

That is so cool!
I never would thought it for myself!!
Thanks for sharing!
lovely idea Maya!
What a nice touch, it would also be perfect to wrap flowers from the garden or for a dramatic play flower shop for children, very creative use Maya.
Brilliant idea Maya, you used some fine fabric for wrapping up your flowers. Supercool! Have a great weekend, hugs, Ira
I used fusible interface- the kind that's like thin paper!:D it's also cheap and easy to use!
That's a fab idea Magda, and easy to make!
Hey while using a fusible you can just overlock(serge) the sides with same or accent color thread for a cool look...no stitching required
you could also use a sticker paper(used for printing labels)to stick to the fabric and peel off the backing..just use some fray check or modpodge at the sides for frays
That is such a pretty idea. Thank you so much for linking up to last weeks show and share. Make sure to come back and link up this week with your latest project.
