brown paper packages

A fairly new interest of mine has been gift packaging.  I have fallen in love with brown paper packages.  This is from a present actually from last January.  It was for a friend of mine and the rolled fabric flower on the top is actually a pin to wear.  I just pinned the flower win onto the twine.  That little card on the top is a free printable from Creature Comforts found here.  I have used that free printable SO many times.  The font on the card is Pea Anna Banana and is one of my current favs.  It's available free for download here  The thing I love most about brown paper packaging is it's so simple.  All I have to have on hand is a roll of brown kraft paper and it lasts forever. I use different things to customize them...bakers twine, twine, ribbon, stamps.
