Jennifer Lindsey, the founder of Inspired Wraps, shares 3 fun summer craft ideas, all using a few wooden spools!
After finding an abundance of ribbon, paper, and various gift wrapping supplies lying around one Christmas, Lindsey began to sell on Etsy and carved a niche market for specialty supplies. She transitioned from hobby to business with a passion for putting together gift baskets, and quickly made 2,200+ sales with five-star reviews. Inspired Wraps evolved into a unique curation of nature-inspired gift wrapping supplies and thoughtfully-designed gift baskets for those to think outside the generic department store box.
These 3 5 minute crafts from Founder Jennifer Lindsey are a way to keep the kids occupied this summer and have some fun in the craft room together!
