Items Around the Home
Consider recycling items around the home and using items found in nature to wrap your presents this year. Not
only is it environmentally friendly, but it will add a beautiful and unique look to your gifts that are sure to stand out
from all of the others.
SUPPLIES:
Newspaper, paper bag, or craft paper
Pine cones, leaves, twigs, etc.
Scissors
Tape
String
DIRECTIONS:
1 Try using newspaper to wrap your presents instead of buying expensive
wrapping paper. Also consider using paper bags for paper. Simply cut them
to fit your gift and make sure to show the side with no writing.
2 Instead of using bows and lace to finish off your gifts, consider going out and
finding pine cones, leaves or twigs to add final touches to your presents.
