Make your own wrapping paper by buying inexpensive
paper
used to prepare packages for mailing. It comes
in rolls
and can be found wherever mailing supplies are sold.
Decorate the
paper with rubber stamps, sponges dipped in craft paints, or raw
potatoes
cut in half lengthwise and carved into Christmas shapes by
imprinting Christmas
cookie cutters into them and then slicing away the extra potato
around
the imprint, similar to the appearance of a rubber stamp. Dip the
imprint
into craft paint and have fun designing your wrapping
paper! Try
a combination of brown wrapping paper and twine in the place of
ribbon
to give your packages a rustic appeal.
