It’s a Wrap!

Sometimes all you need to wrap a tiny gift or stocking stuffer is a small sheet of paper, preferably in a fun pattern.  Leave the large, unwieldy wrapping paper rolls for your bigger gifts, and visit these sites for gift wrap you can print out at home:

• Woman’s Day: snowflakes, stripes, and holly patterns
• Hewlett Packard: gift box and gift bag templates
• Epson: gift wrap designs for PC and Mac

Another idea: when I was a kid, we would take butcher paper and stamp them with our favorite holiday designs, like stars or snowflakes, in red, green, gold, or silver ink.  It’s an especially fun project for kids on a rainy day and a great way to make personalized gift wrap.  You can try it with recycled paper, for beautiful and environmentally friendly designs.
