Beautiful gift wrapping from reused materials: a toilet paper roll package, customized glass jar, and hand-drawn bow
This year, Christmas gifts are wrapped in handmade packaging. You probably already have the supplies at home.
1. Beautiful paper is the finishing touch on a gift
Ready-made gift boxes make lovely packages, too. Tie on a pretty ribbon, add a note to the card, and your sweet gift wrap is done!
2. Toilet paper rolls make pretty packages
Turn toilet paper rolls into small, sweet triangle packages. Cut a roll in half down the middle. Spread glue over the roll and cover it with gift wrap. Glue one opening closed. Slip in a few chocolate coins or candies. Press the other opening flat to form a triangle, then glue it shut. Tie pretty bows and attach them to the packages.
3. Dress up a jar for Christmas
Turn a glass jar into a playful candy jar. Paint the lid forest green with acrylic paint and hot-glue a tree-shaped cookie cutter to the top. Fill the jar with treats.
4. Forgot the ribbon?
If curling and tying gift ribbon gives you a headache, finish your package with a drawn-on bow. Use a thick marker to draw a bow like the one in the photo directly on the package.
