THANK
YOU!
Simplicity can still look great
For oddly shaped gifts and those that need sturdy wrapping, make it
all about the trimmings. Use kraft paper for an attractive yet
supportive covering. Once wrapped, add special trimmings and gift tags
to your package.

2. Fold them in half.
3. Nest folded liners inside one another. (If using a variety of sizes, stack from largest to smallest.) With an awl, poke a hole in the center near the folds.
4. Send the stem of a mini brass brad through the hole. Pierce an unfolded cup with the brad. Spread brad to secure. Fan out liners to create ruffles.
5. Rotate each folded liner about a quarter turn, and overlap each one with the next until you’ve formed a flower shape. Hot-glue the liners directly to a gift or ribbon.
So that's what you can do will all of the extra kids artwork!
Let the kids join in on the gift-wrapping fun by using their drawings
as inexpensive and delightful homemade gift wrap. Have kids doodle on
Kraft paper, calendar pages, shopping bags, magazine pages, and phone
book pages.
Skip the gift tags this year!
If you have a lot of gifts to give this year, assign each family
member a different color paper, and you won’t even need gift tags. This
is a fun way for everyone to identify his or her presents.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve! So you have 2 days
left until Christmas and the pressure is starting to build.. can you
feel it? I will be honest, most years I have my gifts wrapped
by now, stocking stuffers ready, and all I’m doing is cooking…. Well,
not this year! Me and my hubby have quite a few gifts to wrap in the
next 24 hours… the pressure is ON!
Today, I went on search for quick and easy
gift wrapping ideas. While I love a pretty present, I also love saving
time, and my gifts looking great too! Martha Stewart
once again saved the day with these great ideas. See which ones you
love the best… I am loving the potato chip bag wrapping and kids artwork
wrapping! wheh hew!
Craft Paper Gift Wrap
Simplicity can still look greatPotato Chip Bag Gift Wrap
Who would of thought… a potato chip bag?
You can give a new life to empty potato-chip
bags and dress up your gifts in them with this quick idea. Cut open a
potato-chip bag along its seam to reveal the shiny white or silver
inside of the bag. Flatten the bag, wash it with soap and water, and air
dry. Then wrap your present and adorn it with ribbons and homemade
cards.
