I was posting the picture below and thought I need a side view photo. So I started taking more pictures...then thought I should put my hand under the handle so you guys can see that I made a handle with the scrap gift wrap paper.
The funny thing is I kept telling myself that the gift was
too heavy for the handle. But I wouldn't listen to myself!
I was trying to take a picture of me holding the gift
by the handle and it broke. Well, I am glad I always keep the extra scraps...I needed them after I broke the handle
See, being Frugal can pay off sometimes.
It looks good as new but I will not be lifting it by the handle.
The yellow arrows show where the paper ripped.
Oh! I forgot to tell you how I make the handle. By the way... great for lighter gifts. I fold the extra gift wrap paper so it is long and narrow. I tape wire on the inside, so you can give shape or hold onto the handle.
I usually tuck the wire under the wrapping paper so you can't see it but I didn't do that this time so you could see it.
