Gift wrapping

Wrap wedding gifts in dishtowels, table cloths. Baby gifts in receiving blankets. Gifts for seamstresses in yard goods, tie packages of ribbons or buttons or trim to the bows. I like to sew up fabric bags from remnants from sales, you can put a drawstring in them or make them straight hemmed and fold it down. I sometimes have a hard time feeling like spending more for the package than for the present. I wrapped a very large (4ft x2ft. x2ft) gift for my brother in an inexpensive green plastic tablecover from the party store, and put red velvet outdoor bows on it. Hope this is a helper.

I love to wrap gitfs on all special occasions Sometimes I would use a yard for ribbons, bought wrapper nad bow or gift bags with paper tissues.

How about lace and ribbon. that would be pretty. or any kind of pretty material. that is all I could come up with. May someone else has good ideas. I want to see.

Sometimes for a guy I've used brown shipping paper or a paperbag and instead of ribbon I use twine to make a nice bow. Also I've gotten a really pretty gift that was wrapped in alumninum foil, but had bright metallic streamers and ribbons hanging from it. We also attach things like bookmarks or candy canes or little bells... or other decorations ... sometimes a long stem lollipop or fake flower to make it pretty.

You can roll gifts like pencils in a bamboomat and tie it with a piece of string. Several layers of printed tissue paper are also nice to use as giftwrap.

Hi Hun, I am a believer of using up before buying new so I do have a few ideas...When the kids were little we saved all the comic strips and used them for wrapping for all children parties,b-days,christmas...We would use finger paint so the kids could make colorful frames around the funnier comics and designs on the other parts of the paper.. Unwaxed Butchers paper is great also.After the gift is wrapped you can find photos from old mags..Like for a baby shower you cut our babies,rattles,baby animals etc..glue them on the paper until the total is covered..If you want to get really fancy you can paint on a layer of elmers glue/diluted a little with water and let it dry..It gives it a difised dreamy look... You can wrap in butchers paper and glue a large photo in the center ...decorate around the photo to make it look like it is framed with a fancy frame Got more ,Sweets..but I need to take abreak.. Have fun with it xo

Hello my dear friend. Do you know if there is plain white gift wrapping paper as maybe I could do my artwork on this type of paper and use my art as gift wrapping paper as well as on posters and other materials. Those are definitely good ideas that you mentioned for wrapping gifts. I can not think of anymore ideas right now but if I do, i will let you know.

I save all scraps of paper that are 'pretty' or interesting .. and I used them to either wrap a small gift or make little gift tags .. or pretty trimmings ... When I was really, REALLY poor one Christmas I went to a decorating shop and bought a really bright roll of wallpaper that was in a sale .. I think you get something like 10 metres (approx 33 feet) in a roll and it's quite wide .. I only paid £0.99p (roughly $0.50c) .. There are loads and loads of really nice wallpapers that are suitable for wrapping paper and it's so cheap .. try flowers for ladies Birthday gifts .. superheroes, cars or animals for children .. and anything red, green, silver or gold for Christmas ...

Hi! I sometimes use aluminum foil for small gift boxes (like jewelry) or also I have used the clear multi-colored plastic paper (like the kind you wrap an Easter basket in) and I just wrapped my son's birthday present in comics last week! (but I see you already have that listed.)

I like to use brown shipping paper. The possibilites are endless. You can use twine instead of a bow to give it a natural look. You can stamp on it or draw on it. My husband let's my son draw all over it with chalk before wrapping the gifts he gives me. Watercolors or guache paints brushed over it look nice. It is acutally fun to work with.
