Small gifts can be wrapped together by dropping them in a paper towel tube and wrapping with colorful paper. Even children can create beautiful gifts. Tiny stickers give a custom look to plain paper. Wrap a gift beautifully with recycled tissue paper . Wrap the package and then use a rubber stamp and colored metallic ink to create an elegant design.
Plain ribbon is edged to match.
Stamping with colored paint is another way to turn inexpensive tissue paper into a lovely package. A cookie cutter makes a great design template, or go dotty using a pencil eraser and gold paint. Fabric remnants can be cheaper than paper and easier to manipulate around odd-shaped gifts. For those extra large presents, a paper tablecloth , purchased for about two dollars is a simple way to solve the problem of standard gift wrap and non-standard gifts. For really special packages , wrap the top separately so the wrapping stays in place even after the gift is open.
