DIY Mini present garland ~

If you have any spare time in this crazy season you might like to try this cute little DIY, i found on OhHappyDay.
Its kind of retro and simple to make.  I think homemade decos are the best at Christmas!
You can customise the colours to suit your other Christmas decos! And all from the humble raisin box! Neat.
