As everyone is going "green," and/or "organic" these days, this is a great idea that is environmentally friendly - because you recycle - and pocketbook friendly (it's cheap!).
Take your local Sunday paper and use food coloring to stain it - much like you'd dye Easter eggs.
 | Once you have the basics down, creative gift wrapping techniques include using recyclable materials and letting kids get involved. |
 | Have you ever made your own handmade gift wrapping paper or handmade gift bags? Let's face it, there's always something going on that requires some type of gift-giving, and we all enjoy giving. |
 | These gift wrapping ideas merge classic tips with new innovations, such as texture and going green. If you want your gifts to be special and creative, don't conform to the old standbys. Instead, start thinking outside the box. |
For a nostalgic feel of yesteryear, use 8-Track tape ribbon to decorate gifts-especially gifts to be given to the middle-aged crowd. Baby Boomers grew up listening to 8-Track tapes and will not only appreciate the walk down memory lane but also the smart and innovative idea on what to do with the broken 8-Tracks they have filling their own garages and basements. |
Instead of using those store-bought gift tags, why not make heirloom gift tags for your lovely gifts this year? These tags are inexpensive and easy to make, but turn out to look really nice. |
