GIFT WRAP IDEAS!

I have always taken wrapping gifts seriously! My Aunt, one Christmas, said that the gift I gave her was too pretty to unwrap haha-I used the large Christmas bulbs from old light strands and a paint pen and wrote the "to/from" on it! So much fun! It's the little touches that make a package special. I think I borrowed that idea from a t.v. show I had been watching! Check out this site:

I especially loved #4(being the retro freak that I am-I do think I lived a past life or something lol)It uses the retro ornament box! Fun!



Selecting the paper is important too. I prefer to use a GOOD quality, strong paper. Also, not using TOO much paper makes a huge difference. I have even wrapped kids gifts in the Comics from the Sunday paper! (Similar to the pic below) Alot of fun! I have also twisted $1 dollar bills into bows haha

Also, use old maps, tissue paper, plain brown craft paper, or pages from old books to wrap gifts! Very economical too!
