Gift Wrapping Ideas
Gift Wrapping Ideas
Store bows and ribbons in a plastic bag and hang with a clothespin from the hanger. Or just put the handles of the bag over the hanger hook.
Cut leftover or old Christmas fabric into strips to make ribbons.
Use toole or shredded color paper (recycled of course) to stuff in gift bags.
Buy white butchers paper or brown paper (found at home improvement stores, called "contractor's paper") to wrap gifts with; simply add a colorful ribbon, twine and or decorations such as pinecones, leaves, silk flowers, small toys, candy or cookies. Tie small jingle bells on packages for a festive ring!
If you canÂt find butchers paper, use the backside of ugly Christmas paper. You can often find some for very cheap at garage sales. Use the back side of ugly Christmas paper to wrap birthday presents.
To wrap extra large presents such as bikes use a twin sheet or plastic tablecloth. Both can be found for about $3 at the local discount store or at a garage sale for .50.
Make the wrapping material part of the gift. You can use a blanket, photo storage box, scarf, basket, jewelry box, coffee mug, vase, watering can, terra cotta pot etc.
Wind ribbon around old wrapping paper tubes or toilet paper tubes to save for next year.
Use Christmas material on clearance to wrap gifts. Sometimes it's cheaper than paper.
Cut out Christmas pictures out of magazines. Paste on bags or the outside of packages.
Save Christmas cards and use on packages also. Cut out with pinking shears for a lace effect.
Use Christmas cards as gift tags. Cut out a section on the card that is blank on the back. Punch a hole in the top to tie on the package. Use the back to write To: and From:.
To freshen wrinkled Christmas bows, put in the dryer with a damp washcloth. Put the machine on the delicate cycle for two minutes. The bows look like new.
For odd shaped gifts, cover a oatmeal container or cereal box with wrapping paper. Place item inside and place a bow on top.
Line a berry basket with tissue and tuck a small gift in it.
Save crumpled gift wrap and use it for packing to mail packages.
