Of old t-shirts and prettily wrapped gifts 1

Luckily for me I found a great idea via Craftaholics Anonymous on turning old t-shirts into pom-poms so I decided to hold on to the t-shirt for later use. And I have just found a great opportunity to use it - my friend's birthday's coming up and I wanted to make her gift a little extra special, so, following the picture tutorial to a tick I managed to finish it off this way:

Now that I've tried it once I doubt I'll ever throw away another t-shirt!
