gift wrapping with fake flowers

Don't you hate it when you have an image of something and it just doesn't pan out? Normally I'd obsess until I was satisfied, but I had a time constraint--a birthday. I'd planned to wrap my friends portable turntable with sunflowers (only $0.99 at Wal-Mart for what you see there) but had forgotten how large the box was.


So I felt it was a little sparse, tried to add some ribbon I had lying around (only had orange, pink, or gold--and gold made it look a bit too 'holiday'). Orange seemed to clash a little but as Tim Gunn would advise, I was just trying to 'make it work.' I also had hemp rope, and thought maybe I could do a whole "natural" spin, but the rope was rather thin and was overwhelmed by the massiveness of the box. I was also unhappy with the placement of the sunflowers (maybe I shouldn't have glue-gunned them on...).

I'm not super-proud, but I think it turned out decent.
