Let’s start with the main event: the container for the
goods! These are easily located lying around your house, in charity shops or
even in dumpsters and bins sometimes! Depending on the size of your gift, you
can choose from:
Jars, bottles, pots. Pans, casserole dishes
Old Boxes, big and small
Bowls or mugs
Plant pots
Bags
Paint tins, biscuit tins.. any type of tin!
Old VCR/ videotape boxes
Baskets (DIY perhaps?)
… and many more!!
Interesting wrapping paper:
You can use brown paper, greaseproof paper, old maps,
newspapers or magazines, paint or stamp your own design… Or if you don’t want
to go down the paper route, you canalways try a fabric bundle!
Fabric bundles
Youtube has some great wrapping tutorials using a single
piece of fabric, but you can also get creative and design your own wrapping
method! Perhaps it will become your signature wrapping style!
As for labels:
If your house is anything like mine, you will have loads of
paper and cardboard flying around. You can paint, draw, papier maché, use
markers, stick magazine clippings, stamp, stencil… the list is endless. You can
also stitch labels on fabric, write them on old CDs, carve them in wood, knit
them, write them on old playing cards, etc!
