She captioned her post with “Kmart gift wrapper to craft paper and my calligraphy skills,” 

Instead of wrapping the gifts in ribbon, she used twine to match the design.  

It is both environmentally sound and saves money on wrapping paper. 

'Kmart craft paper to gift wrapper and my little calligraphy skills,' she wrote on Facebook

Instead of using ribbon she tied the presents with twine to perfectly match the style

On Facebook, she posted: “Kmart gift wrapper to craft paper and my calligraphy skills,”

Other social media users hailed the end result as an amazing idea.  

“I would buy this wrapping paper!” One commenter said, “Awesome job!”

‘Genius!!! I wish I had seen it before I purchased lame wrapping paper.’ Another added.  

While the post was liked over 2,600 times on social media, other users didn’t believe that they could duplicate it.  

Someone wrote, “If only my handwriting could be this neat to do hacks like these,”  

“Looks amazing, but would not have the patience to do it, so one name would be sufficient for me,” added another.
