Nerd alert: Dr. Who steampunk gift wrap

Along with gift wrapping, exercise, and macarons, I'm addicted to the BBC's Dr. Who. So it was just a matter of time before a Whovian-inspired prezzie appeared in my shop. Besides the great writing, lovable characters, and general awesomeness of the show, I love the steampunk set design, especially the styling of our favorite blue box. So I made my own!

At first the broken foil in the pleats bothered me, but then I thought, "Heck, you don't travel through time and space without getting a few dents and scratches."
Materials: blue foil, sheer gold ribbon, patterned self-adhesive ribbon, gold thread, Tim Holtz sprockets, decorative photo corners, bling.
Who's my favorite Doctor? This ribbon is a clue.
Little Carol loves cruising around in her TARDIS.
Don't worry, it's bigger on the inside.
