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.
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.

Kraft Paper Wrapping
5
Kraft paper is a great resource for wrapping your gifts for the
holidays. It will also save you money, as it is much cheaper
than traditional wrapping paper and looks amazing! Not only
does it look great, but it is also extremely durable and tear
resistant, so it is perfect for long car rides or any traveling
that you will need to do. In addition to its durability, it is also
100% recyclable which makes it very environmentally friendly.
Use Kraft paper to wrap gifts as you normally would and
watch your gifts stand out from all the rest!
Heat iron.
Punch out desired amount of
heart-shaped designs from the
tissue paper.
Layer the holiday shapes (tree,
snowflake, heart, etc) in desired
pattern in between 2 layers of
wax paper.
Iron over the top layer of wax
paper to seal the heart-shaped
tissue paper cut outs inside.
After wax paper has cooled and
sealed, wrap baked goods with
twine or string.
