No Gift Bag? Try Yarn

We got two presents for an upcoming birthday party, and I wanted to make sure they stayed together until the birthday boy gets them home.  I never seem to have any ribbon in the house, so we used yarn (you could also use a strips of fabric).  My son told me his friend's favorite colors and off we went. 

I know - this is a pretty simple idea, but it's a nice way to make sure those cute little presents stay together and also to save a few dollars on a gift bag!
