[Joan.of.the.Arch]

We have a local salvage store that sells huge rolls of factory goof wrapping papers. The goofs are things like one color of ink running out, or the color layers getting out of sync, or unexpectedly low saturation of color. I choose from among quite a few patterns and sorts of goofs and can always find something I'd like to use.

For ribbon, I like to buy the cloth ribbon at fabric stores. There is a certain type of skinny ribbon that I can always find for 50 cents a roll.
