FREE 2015 FEBRUARY WALLPAPERS
Gosh February arrived before we were quite ready! This summer has just been so spectacular full of long hot days and BBQ filled nights. Valentine's Day is just around the corner so we decided to make this month's design a bit of a lovey dovey one. You can buy this design as a gift card, felt flag, or a stunning A3 gold foil print! All available in our shop. Thank you so much for following our blog and loving our free wallpapers. It's so great to go the the markets and have people show us their phones with the designs on them! This all started about 3 years ago when I wanted something neat for my phone and couldn't find something out there and have kept going ever since - so thank you again! Without your support, Toodles honestly wouldn't' be where it is today!

How to Gift Wrap with Toodles Noodles
If you are like me, my gift wrapping skills are not that great, I usually settle for a nice bag to put my presents in. Lucky for us the talented Liora, who designs and makes her own gift wrap, shares her amazing gift wrapping skills with us. Just follow along step by step below.
(Post written by Amber at Elite16, photos by Michelle at Studio:Weir)
Gift Wrapping 101:- Pick out your paper. Liora used her confetti, follow the arrow and New Zealand floral paper for this DIY.
- A pair of scissors
- Gift tags
- Tape
- Ribbon or twine
- Imagination and patience and maybe some music for inspiration
Confetti paper tutorial
To make this package stand out Liora created an extra fold on top. A perfect place to put your gift tag.
The finished product. Add your ribbon and a gift tag and you have a package almost too pretty to open!
With her New Zealand flora paper tutorial, Liora added a pop of color, by adding a red piece of fabric on top of the paper. 
New Zealand flora tutorial: see the steps below on how to make your gift stand out
just add a fun gift tag with some ribbon or twine and show off your gift wrapping skills
Follow the Arrow: This tutorial is my favorite. I am a big fan of this playful pattern and check out the whole gift wrap kit here. Those fun arrows on top are cupcake toppers.
Follow the Arrow tutorial 
Use an extra strip of paper to create a place holder for your gift tags and adornments
Add your cupcake toppers by creating a notch in the paper for showing them off
You may not want to open up these packages. They just look too good!
Now you should be a gift wrapping expert. With some fun paper, some cool accessories and a bit of imagination you can create packages that really stand out. A big thanks to Liora for sharing her wrapping skills. If you love her paper she also has lots of other goodies in her shop: tote bags, tea towels, note cards and more. She also has a fun blog.
Your finished product. Now you are an official expert gift wrapper. Show them off!
