Martha has a slightly different version with solid-colour wrapping and complimenting yarn embellishments.   I especially like the crossed patterns - so simple, but such visual impact!

Here's a slightly different take on the concept, with pom-pom toppers - so fun!

How would you embellish a package using everyday around-the-house materials? I would love to see some of your inspiration!
