This season, get crafty (and cut costs) with beautifully ordinary packaging materials from around the house.

Repurposed and Pretty
Shredded paper lines the inside of a shoe box covered with a paper grocery bag. To dress up packages and add color, tie with
vintage ribbon (or two) around the outside.

Fabulous Fabric
Use neatly pressed fabric remnants from sewing projects for soft or hard-to-wrap objects. Cut, fold, and punch holes into
pages from old calendars or prints to make gift tags.

Centerfold Wrappings
Wrap small boxes with magazine pages. Look for sheets with large and colorful images, graphic prints, or old-fashioned black-and-white
type.

Gift Jars
Reuse jam jars for items such as jewelry. Cover lids with fabric secured with glue.
